We are building a world-class, remote-first team where engineers thrive in both technical depth and customer engagement. We value intellectual curiosity, collaboration, and a strong sense of responsibility in protecting enterprise security., We're hiring a Technical Customer Engineer to serve as the technical escalation point for customer-reported issues. This is an engineering-adjacent role focused on diagnosing complex integration problems, scripting and prototyping solutions, and collaborating directly with our core engineering team to drive fixes into production. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys debugging, writing lightweight code, and working closely with customers to unblock them quickly. This goes beyond ticket processing - it's hands-on technical problem solving with real ownership. Responsibilities * Act as the first technical responder for escalated customer issues, particularly those blocking integrations or deployments. * Debug in the wild - inspecting API payloads, webhook logs, OAuth exchanges, and race conditions that surface only under real-world load. * Provide interim solutions such as code snippets, pull requests, documentation updates, or configuration guidance. * Bridge the gap between customer and engineering: reproduce issues, isolate root causes, and ensure fixes are fully validated before release. * 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. * Surface common pain points and influence product priorities. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [I’m a Developer Working in Marketing… Here’s Why - Tim Cadenbach](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1372-i-m-a-developer-working-in-marketing-here-s-why-tim-cadenbach) - [Coroutine explained yet again 60 years later](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/690-coroutine-explained-yet-again-60-years-later) - [Developer Marketing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1049-developer-marketing) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
