Senior Technical CX Specialist
About The Position
The Senior Technical Customer Experience (CX) Specialist is a highly experienced individual contributor role designed for support operators who thrive in complexity and ambiguity. This role serves as the team’s primary escalation point for the most complex, technical, or nuanced customer issues, while remaining deeply hands-on in the support queue. As a Senior Technical CX Specialist, you will handle high volumes of sophisticated support cases, lead customer calls, manage bugs end-to-end, and act as a trusted partner to Product and Engineering. You’ll play a critical role in raising the technical bar of the team by mentoring peers, surfacing patterns from escalations, and helping translate hard-earned learnings into scalable improvements. This role is ideal for someone who loves solving hard problems, operates calmly under pressure, and wants to maximize impact without moving into formal people management.

- Experience managing bugs and collaborating closely with Product and Engineering teams.
- Ability to handle high ticket volume while maintaining exceptional quality, responsiveness, and customer empathy.
