• Contribute to and maintain internal technical documentation in Confluence to share knowledge and foster continuous team learning.

What you bring

• 2+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical support or engineering role within a SaaS environment, with hands-on experience troubleshooting REST APIs using tools like cURL and Postman.
• Demonstrated technical troubleshooting ability and working knowledge of SQL, engineering fundamentals, and observability platforms such as Datadog or Prometheus (familiarity with Python or Ruby on Rails is a plus).
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly and empathetically to non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail, rigorous prioritization skills, and the ability to manage multiple high-priority investigations simultaneously.
• Willingness and ability to participate in a scheduled 24/7 on-call rotation for incident management and customer communication.
