This role blends deep hands-on troubleshooting with customer empathy and communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Manage customer cases from initial triage through resolution and follow-up, ensuring clear communication and timely updates.
  • Leverage AI assistants and diagnostics to accelerate triage and root-cause analysis while maintaining accuracy and safety standards.
  • Focus on business impact, ensuring resolutions fix issues, reduce recurrence, and improve reliability.
  • Provide technical analysis and guidance via email, web, and phone, adapting to customer expertise levels.
  • Use AI to summarize logs, generate hypotheses, and draft responses—critically validating outputs before sharing.
  • Utilize Snowflake environment, connectors, and internal tools to investigate and test solutions.
  • Partner with Engineering, Product, and Customer Success to resolve systemic issues.
  • Document solutions in knowledge bases, refining AI-assisted drafts for quality.
  • Provide input on product behavior, documentation gaps, and AI-tool performance.

  • May require schedule flexibility and shift changes based on business needs.
  • 5+ years of experience in technical support (customer-facing, ideally 24x7).
  • Strong AI fluency, including prompt engineering, context management, and the ability to critically validate AI outputs and know when to fall back to manual investigation.
  • Experience with AI-powered tooling (e.g., coding assistants/agentic IDEs) and modern support environments.
  • Solid technical troubleshooting skills, including comfort with SQL.
  • Strong knowledge of at least one major RDBMS.
  • In-depth understanding of SQL data types, aggregations, and advanced functions including analytical/window functions.

  • Proficiency with JSON, XML, and other semi-structured data formats.
