• Experience managing a support queue with competing priorities, including time-sensitive or live customer workflows
• Comfortable investigating issues across systems (e.g., admin settings, browser behavior, basic API responses, logs) to identify root cause
• Experience documenting bugs clearly and collaborating with engineering teams using tools like Azure DevOps (or similar)
• Familiarity with tools such as Intercom, Slack, and ticketing/workflow systems
• Experience supporting or interacting with enterprise or high-touch customers is a plus

Requirements
