Founding Support Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 13, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 9, 2026.
Why We Need You
Defense primes and top federal integrators run their RFP lifecycle on GovEagle inside FedRAMP and AWS GovCloud, from our web app, Word, and SharePoint. As we've grown (5x revenue, 10x DAU), so has our support inbox: SSO logins, SharePoint connections, Office add-in issues, and security questionnaires. Most of it needs no code, but today our founders answer it, and answering in minutes is a big reason customers love us.
We are hiring our first Support Engineer to own that work. You'll answer fast, debug to the root cause, fix what can be fixed through configuration and admin tools, hand engineers a ticket they can act on immediately when it can't, and close the loop with every customer. When a deal needs technical depth, you'll step into pre-sales as our solutions engineer. As the team grows, this role grows into leading support.
What You'll Do
Own the support queue, fast. Customers hear from you in minutes: our standard is a first reply within 10 minutes during business hours. Then own every item until it is fixed and the customer has confirmed it.
Debug to the root cause. SSO and Okta logins, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 connections, Office add-in issues, and file processing, using logs, admin consoles, and our data.
Resolve without engineering when you can. Configuration, feature flags, account setup, workarounds. Otherwise, reproduce it and write a Linear ticket an engineer can act on right away.
Run technical onboarding. Set up SSO and SharePoint with customer IT teams for new accounts and pilots.
Step into pre-sales. Join sales on technical deep dives, demos, and security reviews with prospects, and get pilots technically ready so they start fast.
Build the knowledge base and close the loop. Help articles, runbooks, a security-questionnaire answer kit, and a weekly readout to engineering on what is breaking and why.
What We're Looking For
3+ years in technical support, solutions engineering, or implementation at a B2B software company, including demos or technical evaluations with customers.
Hands-on with identity and Microsoft: Okta or Entra ID, SSO (SAML and OIDC), and SharePoint and Microsoft 365 administration.
Comfortable reading logs, writing SQL, and calling APIs; you can read code even if you don't write it every day.
You use AI tools to investigate and write faster, and you know where not to trust them.
You write clearly enough that a customer and our engineers both act on the same message.
You own follow-ups without being asked; team lead experience is a plus.
U.S. citizen (required): this role works inside customer environments subject to export controls.
Able to work in person in New York City four days a week.
Nice to have: Enterprise security reviews (FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2), Microsoft GCC High, Office add-ins. No GovCon background needed; we'll teach you the domain.
What success looks like in your first 90 days
30 days: Answering the queue alongside the founders; you've handled each of our ten most common issue types end to end.
60 days: You own the queue and the founders are out of first response; runbooks for logins and SharePoint are live; you've joined your first prospect demos.
90 days: Most issues resolved without engineering, first replies within 10 minutes in business hours, and a knowledge base and security answer kit for our common questions.
