We are building a world‑class, remote‑first team where engineers thrive in both technical depth and customer engagement. About the Role: We’re hiring a Technical Customer Engineer to serve as the technical escalation point for customer‑reported issues.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys debugging, writing lightweight code, and working closely with customers to unblock them quickly. Act as the first technical responder for escalated customer issues, particularly those blocking integrations or deployments. Provide interim solutions such as code snippets, pull requests, documentation updates, or configuration guidance.

Gather structured context and relay actionable insights to engineering for long‑term fixes. Recommend integration best practices across authentication flows, REST APIs, and IAM platforms.
Improve internal support tooling, documentation, and runbooks based on recurring patterns. Primary languages: Go, TypeScript; familiarity with Python, Ruby, or similar. Scripting or debugging tools in paddle, Node.js, Bash, or similar environments.
Identity platforms: Okta, Microsoft Entra, Duo, Auth0, Ping, and custom IAM stacks.

You like solving real customer problems more than sitting behind abstract tickets.
You’ll join a fast‑moving team where customer impact is immediate and visible. You’ll collaborate directly with engineering leadership, shape how we scale technical support, and build a reputation as a go‑to problem solver.
