The Technical Support Engineer’s main responsibility is to field issues that are escalated to us by customer-facing teams within the company. Technical Support Engineers are responsible for assessing, gathering additional context where needed, and determining an appropriate action plan for issues assigned to them. Technical Support Engineers collaborate internally with other members of the team, with customer-facing and prod-dev teams,  as well as externally with vendors and customers to develop a complete understanding of the issue at hand, and advocate for the customer to ensure an accurate and timely resolution.
