The ideal candidate is a proactive, technically strong problem-solver who enjoys mentoring others, taking ownership of complex challenges, and turning ideas into action. This position plays a key role within the Technical Support department and works closely with Product, Engineering, and IT to improve customer experience and platform stability.
