Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Technical Support Engineer - **Company:** Gigs, Inc. - **Location:** New York, NY, United States - **Experience:** Experienced - **Salary:** $150,000.0 - $180,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Software Bug Management, Software Debugging, Postman, Webhooks - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/technical-support-engineer-gigs-8301369 ## About the Role * Technical & Customer Background - You have 2-3 years of experience in a technical role with customer-facing components. We are less concerned with job titles and more interested in your ability to bridge the gap between technology and users. * Troubleshooting Toolkit - You are comfortable using tools like Postman to debug APIs and have a grasp of core technical concepts (Webhooks, REST, request tracing, etc.) to trace technical process flows. * Problem-Solving Mindset - You don't just follow a runbook, you are comfortable investigating ambiguity and finding answers in a fast-changing environment. * Communication Mastery - You combine strong communication skills with a technical background, allowing you to easily understand our platform and communicate complex concepts to our customers. * Operational Agility - You take ownership of your queue, prioritizing urgent external requests alongside internal improvement projects without needing constant supervision. ## Description As a Technical Support Engineer, you will serve as the technical anchor for our support operations. You exemplify excellence in every response - whether to a business customer or an end-user - intuitively adapting to their distinct perspectives. You do not just close the tickets assigned to you; you take ownership of a healthy queue, ensuring the entire operation runs smoothly. In this role, you will act as the primary escalation point for complex connectivity challenges that stump our Tier 1 partners. You will navigate the entire technical stack - from debugging API logs to troubleshooting live network connectivity issues for end-users. You will act as a bridge, translating technical root causes into clear solutions for customers while feeding critical insights back to our Product and Engineering teams. You ensure that when a user needs to connect, the Gigs platform delivers. This role is located in our New York hub. What You Will Do * Drive Technical Resolution - Go beyond standard fixes to deconstruct complex provisioning and API failures. You will investigate the "why" behind an error to prevent it from recurring. * Troubleshoot Connectivity - Serve as the domain expert for network-related incidents. Whether it's a failed SIM activation or an outage, you will diagnose the issue and guide customers to a resolution. * Empower Tier 1 Support - Act as the safety net and mentor for our Tier 1 support team. You will unblock them on escalated tickets and provide the technical guidance they need to handle less complex issues independently. * Translate & Document - You will turn technical findings into accessible documentation and clear customer communication, ensuring knowledge is shared rather than siloed. * Shape the Platform - You are the customer advocate in the room with Engineering. You will use support data to champion bug fixes and feature improvements that directly enhance the Gigs API and dashboard. ## Related Videos - [Using AI Without Losing Your Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2045-using-ai-without-losing-your-skills) - [Beyond Webhooks: The Future of Scalable API Event Delivery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100312-beyond-webhooks-the-future-of-scalable-api-event-delivery) - [Are Your APIs Ready for AI Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2004-are-your-apis-ready-for-ai-agents) - [You’re a great coder?
