Working knowledge of APIs, databases (SQL), and software integrations.
Proficiency with bug tracking and support platforms (e.g., Azure DevOps, HubSpot CRM, or similar).
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Ability to operate cross-functionally, building effective working relationships with Development, Product, and Customer Success teams.

Microsoft Excel proficiency and comfort with data analysis, formulas, and logical reasoning.

Responsibilities

Conduct thorough backend investigations on all escalated issues before they reach Product or Development, including reproduction, root cause analysis, and workaround identification.
Author detailed bug tickets and track defects through resolution, maintaining clear documentation of reproduction steps, expected behavior, and workarounds.
Serve as the primary owner of all API, SmartView, and SQL-related support issues, diagnosing and resolving complex technical problems end-to-end.
Develop custom solutions using SQL and internal APIs to resolve complex, customer-facing issues that fall outside standard support workflows.
Provide technical guidance to Tier 1 Support Specialists, assisting with complex cases and building team knowledge.
Rigorously test and reproduce escalated issues to confirm defect behavior, validate fixes, and identify interim workarounds that minimize customer impact.
Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams by delivering well-documented, fully triaged defect reports that accelerate resolution and reduce back-and-forth.
