Our cybersecurity SaaS company is seeking a highly technical, senior-level Technical Support Engineer to serve as the final tier of our technical support organization.

Provide clear, timely status updates to customers and internal stakeholders, including executive-level audiences, throughout the life of an escalation or incident.

Drive and contribute to post-incident reviews and root cause analyses (RCAs), and track corrective and preventive actions to completion

Participate in an on-call rotation, including weekend on-call shifts, to support 24/7 coverage for escalations and critical incidents.

Act as the liaison between support agents and Engineering to confirm intended product behavior and seek troubleshooting guidance.

Push CSS tickets forward by following up with engineers and developers to request updates and next steps.

Relay updates from Engineering to the L1 and L2 teams so agents have the latest information on open issues, fixes, and workarounds.

Work directly with R&D and engineering teams to reproduce, isolate, and validate bugs and product defects.

Perform deep technical analysis (log review, memory/crash dump analysis, network captures, API and console behavior) to identify root cause and provide engineering with actionable, well-documented bug reports in JIRA.

Advocate for the customer by assessing impact, prioritizing defects, and following issues through fix, validation, and release.

Test and validate hotfixes, workarounds, and new builds before they are communicated to customers.

Surface recurring issues, product gaps, and trends to Product Management and Engineering to drive long-term product improvements.

Perform regular QA reviews of L1 and L2 tickets, evaluating technical accuracy, troubleshooting approach, documentation, adherence to process, and customer communication.

Provide constructive, actionable feedback to L1 and L2 engineers and partner with Support leadership to identify coaching and training needs.

Assist L1 and L2 agents with live troubleshooting through TechTalk, acting as a technical mentor and subject matter expert to help them build their skills.

Develop and deliver technical training sessions on products, new features, and advanced troubleshooting techniques.

Assist with maintaining and updating support training content so it reflects current product functionality and processes.

Define and improve escalation criteria, troubleshooting workflows, and support processes to reduce unnecessary escalations and improve resolution times.

Document support tickets and maintain accurate records of escalations, investigations, and resolutions in Zendesk and JIRA.
