## About the Role

* 5+ years in technical support engineering, solutions engineering, data engineering, or a comparable role where you personally owned root-cause analysis on production data
 * Advanced SQL. You reason comfortably about joins across large, imperfect datasets, and you validate findings against the authoritative source rather than the most convenient table
 * Demonstrated ability to own complex cross-functional initiatives end to end and land them - including the uncomfortable parts: securing commitments from other teams, absorbing friction, and driving to a decision
 * A measurement instinct. You define success numerically before you start, and you speak to results rather than activity
 * Proficiency building with AI tools such as Claude or other agentic platforms, paired with sound judgment about where automation can be trusted and where it cannot
 * Scripting ability in Python or similar to automate investigation and data work
 * Clear, calm written communication, and the instinct to teach rather than correct when helping less experienced teammates
 * Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward shipping an imperfect, iterative solution over waiting for a complete one
 * Self-direction. You source your own answers, set your own milestones, and do not need oversight to make progress

Nice to Have

 * Grocery, retail, or supply chain domain knowledge - hands-on familiarity with ordering, replenishment, assortment, or fresh department operations is a significant advantage
 * Experience with Databricks, Zendesk, Stylo, or workflow automation platforms
 * Experience supporting ML-driven products, and the ability to distinguish whether an anomaly originates in data inputs, model behavior, or application logic
 * A track record of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar of a team

## Description

Own complex technical support escalations involving data mapping, forecasts, recommendations, integrations, and data feeds. Conduct root-cause analysis, build SQL and Python tooling, create Databricks and Looker dashboards, develop AI-driven workflows, and measure operational impact. Lead cross-functional initiatives with Engineering, Product, Data, Solutions, and Operations teams. Mentor support engineers, document playbooks, present findings to leadership, and drive systemic improvements that reduce ticket volume, handling time, and escalations., As a Principal Support Engineer at Afresh, you are the person who understands how our platform actually behaves for our grocery partners. You have deep technical support, solutions, or data engineering experience, you communicate with equal clarity to a store director and a staff engineer, and you are excited to reduce fresh food waste in the grocery industry.

Support Engineering is the complex technical investigation arm of our Support organization - the last stop for internal escalations to resolve customer-facing problems across all Afresh products. You will own the complex escalations that others cannot resolve and then work upstream to eliminate or minimize future recurrence; quantifying impact, building tooling and agentic AI workflows to deflect future volume, and then proactively driving the cross-functional efforts to eliminate the root cause.

This is a senior individual contributor role, and the scope of this role is deliberately broad. You will be handed goals rather than tasks and you are expected to quickly and autonomously develop deep expertise across our products and the complex data relationships behind them. You will own and lead initiatives from end to end, building influence and alignment with other teams to achieve your goals.
What You'll Do

A typical week might involve building an agentic AI support workflow in Stylo, shipping a Claude skill that lets Tier 1 Support resolve issues with a new product feature, coordinating a team-wide investigation of data issues across 200 products, and then presenting the root cause analysis and measured impact of that investigation to Product and Data Engineering leadership. Specifically, you will:

 * Own our most complex escalations end to end - data mapping defects, recommendation and forecast anomalies, and integration or data-feed failures
 * Identify and lead large initiatives that deliver critical impact against department-level OKRs, such as raising our ticket deflection rate, reducing average handle time, or reducing escalations to cross-functional teams. You will work autonomously - scoping the work yourself, defining what success looks like, and communicating progress and blockers without being asked
 * Define and report the numbers that prove impact: baseline before you build, quantify after, and publish on a regular cadence in channels where the appropriate teams and leaders can see it
 * Build the tooling that removes the work - SQL and Python, Databricks and Looker dashboards and notebooks, Stylo workflows, Claude and Cowork skills, and lightweight automations that take manual effort off Tier 1 Support and Operations
 * Drive cross-functional change with teams that don't report to you, partnering with Solutions Engineering, Data Engineering, Product Engineering, and Operations to fix the systems generating ticket volume - securing shared ownership, holding regular communication cadence, and raising flags visibly when progress stalls
 * Multiply the team rather than absorb its hardest work: mentor Tier 1 and Tier 2 engineers, lead training, and write the playbooks and source-of-truth documentation that let others resolve what only you can resolve today
 * Be visible outside Support - present in Tech Demos, post data-driven updates in company-wide channels, join account reviews, and represent Support in cross-functional forums
 * Master partner-specific behavior across our retailers and their banners, and serve as the escalation point when a judgment call needs to reach Product, Engineering, or the customer directly, Provides technical leadership for designing, developing, implementing, and supporting Microsoft Dataverse, Dynamics 365, and Power Platform solutions. Translates architecture and business requirements into technical approaches, leads proofs of concept and troubleshooting, guides engineers, and develops complex components using C#, .NET, JavaScript, Azure services, APIs, plug-ins, and PCF controls. Partners with architecture, delivery, quality, and DevOps teams on integrations, CI/CD, application lifecycle management, releases, and production support.
