About The Position

At Sierra, we’re creating a platform to help businesses build better, more human customer experiences with AI. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices in Atlanta, New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Munich, Singapore, Japan, and Sydney. We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and Family. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do. Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor . Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google’s AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace. Support Engineering at Sierra Companies use Sierra’s Agent OS to design, deploy, and operate AI agents that serve their end-users across all channels and use-cases. As our business grows, an important part of providing the best service to our customers is having a dedicated Support Engineer role that can provide timely and high-quality support every time. We’re looking for our first Support Engineer: someone who loves debugging puzzles, enjoys helping people succeed, and thrives jumping into new technical problems. This role is zero-to-one—you won’t just answer questions. You’ll help design and build the entire support function, including the systems, tooling, and automation that power it, using Agent OS itself. If you enjoy helping people, understanding complex systems, and turning gnarly problems into clear solutions, you’ll love this role.

Requirements

• You love debugging: You enjoy untangling complicated systems and figuring out why something isn’t working. You treat problems like puzzles.
• You enjoy helping people: You get energy from helping someone go from stuck and frustrated to successful.
• You have an engineering mindset: You’re comfortable reading code, working with APIs, investigating logs, and understanding distributed systems.
• You thrive using AI tools: The latest AI tools have made you 10x more productive and you love experimenting with new ways to leverage these tools.
• You bring a positive attitude: Customer issues can be stressful. You bring calm, optimism, and clarity to the situation.

Responsibilities

• Help customers succeed with Agent OS
• Work directly with customers building agents on Sierra to debug issues and unblock them.
• Investigate complex problems across multiple layers: agent building, integrations, APIs, product workflows, and infrastructure.
• Understand the nuances of the issues our customers encounter by engaging deeply with them.
• Translate complex technical issues into clear explanations and actionable solutions.
• Build the support function from scratch
• Help design Sierra’s support workflows, tools, and processes using the latest AI tools (Sierra’s Agent OS, Codex/Claude, etc.)
• Identify patterns across customer issues and drive improvements to the product and developer experience.
• Create internal tooling to accelerate debugging and investigation.
• Grow the team
• As one of the first Support Engineers at Sierra, a meaningful part of the role will be growing the function globally. We have customers all over the world and want to bootstrap this support function to have around the clock coverage.
