## Description

As we continue to grow, we're looking for Technical Support Engineers (TSEs) to join the team to help us balance the needs of customers, users and internal stakeholders, while navigating critical technical issues. In this role, you will manage issues from their first symptom to their eventual resolution, communicating with our customers and internal stakeholders throughout the process.

They have an interest in learning more about financial services, and are excited to help customers resolve complex issues. TSEs work closely with Plaid's product and engineering teams, and we have a high technical bar to ensure that we all speak the same language. Our Support team sets aggressive goals to meet the standards our customers expect, and we collaborate cross-functionally with our Engineering, Product, Financial Access, and Go-to-Market teams in order
to achieve these goals. This role requires candidates to be based in the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT) to align with customer needs and team collaboration

Responsibilities

 * Assist GTM teams with customer escalations
 * Collaborate with EPD teams on issue resolution
