Job description
Weâre hiring for both Product Support Specialist and Product Support Engineer roles.
- Support Specialist owns cases and customer communication end-to-end. Troubleshoots complex issues by navigating internal tooling - audit logs, user experience testing, and API testing - to help customers reach successful outcomes.
- Support Engineering serves as the escalation point between Support Specialists and Product Engineering. Owns integrations, supports data mapping and data migrations for customers, and resolves escalated tickets that donât require product code changes.
Please choose the role that best reflects your experience and interests rather than applying to both. If another Support role seems like a closer match, weâll consider that in our review.
About the role
Support Engineering is the technical layer between frontline Support and Engineering. Youâll take on complex issues involving integrations, APIs, permissions, data, reporting, migrations, and workflows-using application behavior, logs, databases, and customer context to determine whether an issue can be resolved through Support or represents a product defect.
Youâll investigate issues end to end using tools such as Plain, GitHub, Datadog, databases, and the codebase. You wonât write the fix; youâll give Engineering a well-validated escalation with reproduction steps, relevant evidence, customer impact, and a root-cause hypothesis when possible. Youâll also identify recurring issues, improve documentation and enablement, and partner with Product and Engineering on improvements. As a Support Engineer in AMER, youâll work alongside four Support Engineers in the region, help shape the operating practices and handoff norms the team is continuing to develop, and bring AMER customer patterns to a global team.
What youâll own:
- Own complex technical issues from intake through resolution or escalation-investigating APIs, integrations, logs, data, configuration, and workflows to determine whether Support can resolve them or Engineering should be involved.
- Set a high bar for complex technical investigations and ensure Engineering receives clear, actionable, well-validated product issues.
- Build trusted working relationships with frontline Support, Engineering, Product, Customer Success, and customers.
- Identify recurring problems and turn them into documentation, enablement, tooling, process improvements, or product feedback.
- Partner with Product and Engineering on recurring product improvements by synthesizing customer patterns, validating defects, and sharing the technical context needed to choose between a product change, documentation, tooling, or process improvement.
- Contribute to AMER coverage, handoff, and operating practices alongside the regional Support Engineering team while bringing customer patterns to the global Support Engineering team.
- Track and improve the outcomes that matter: resolution speed, escalation quality, fewer avoidable Engineering escalations, frontline self-sufficiency, reduced customer effort, and customer confidence.
Requirements
- Youâve worked in a hands-on, customer-centric technical role where you independently investigate ambiguous issues involving APIs, integrations, logs, data, and application behavior.
- Youâre comfortable moving between customer conversations, APIs, logs, databases, product behavior, and code-level context to find root causes.
- You can distinguish a configuration, data, documentation, or enablement issue from a true product defect-and explain your reasoning clearly.
- You write precise investigations that others can quickly understand and act on, and communicate thoughtfully with technical and non-technical audiences across time zones.
- You naturally look beyond the immediate ticket and improve the systems around it through documentation, enablement, tooling, or process design.
- Youâre excited to contribute to an established AMER Support Engineering team, take on meaningful ownership, and help improve how the broader team works., * Youâre looking primarily for a high-volume support role centered on predefined troubleshooting steps, rather than open-ended technical investigation and ownership.
- Most of your experience is in internal IT, help desk, endpoint, hardware, network, infrastructure, cloud operations, systems administration, infrastructure maintenance, or service deployment-and you havenât worked extensively with customer-centric SaaS applications, APIs, logs, or data-backed troubleshooting.
- You prefer to pass difficult issues to another team rather than reproduce, investigate, and explain them yourself.
- Youâre looking for a role focused mainly on writing production code; this role diagnoses and escalates bugs but does not own code changes.
- You prefer clear-cut problems and predefined answers over working through ambiguity with careful documentation, focused questions, and evidence-based decisions.
- You want a narrowly defined role without regional operating ownership or projects that improve how the broader Support team works.
Benefits & conditions
Benefits vary by country and are shared in more detail during the process. International employees receive statutory benefits and, where available, employer-paid supplemental health coverage.
- 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldnât feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby-do it when you feel financially comfortable.
- Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect âVacation?â in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it
- Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
- A $1,200 annual learning and professional-development budget.
- A one-time $2,000 home-office setup budget for furniture, monitors, peripherals, and ergonomic equipment, plus a company-provided laptop.
- Extended health benefits for you and your dependents (subject to availability with our Employer of Record)
- Opportunities to spend time with teammates through an annual company offsite, team offsites, local meetups, and virtual events.

About Go To Market
We view our Support team as an extension of the product itself, one that ensures an optimal customer experience for customers ranging across all market segments. Here are a few points that should give you an idea of what it is like to work with us:

- We strongly believe that small teams with very talented people and the right work environment deliver much better performance than teams with large headcount.

You can take a look at our Leadership Principles to get a sense of what we value in People Leaders at Ashby.
