Support Engineer, Zinc Work

• If you're someone who loves debugging complex bugs, resolving issues that stump others, and shaping process at scale - this one’s for you
• Zendesk experience (or other customer service and engagement platform) You’ve used a support system at scale and know how to optimise it for speed and clarity
• MongoDB and database know-how 🗄️ Some tickets may require peeking into production data
• Scripting knowledge 🖥️ You don’t need to live in the codebase, but being able to run diagnostics, write quick scripts, or understand logs will make you unstoppable
• Proactive – You don’t wait for problems; you anticipate them, flag them, and fix them
• Autonomous - You’ll be a team of one for now, so high ownership and self-motivation are musts
• Problem Solver - You live for the "can’t reproduce" bugs and messy edge cases
• Strong Communicator - You'll be interfacing with our Customer Success team, engineers, and end-users. Clarity and empathy go a long way
• Kind and collaborative - While you'll work independently, you’re excited to engage across teams to improve the whole user experience

• Owning the tech support process 🎯 You’ll be the go-to person for all technical tickets raised by our Customer Success team. From issue diagnosis to resolution, you’ll make sure nothing slips through the cracks and that we deliver a best-in-class experience
• Problem-solving like a detective 🔍 Some issues will be straightforward, others subtle and elusive. Your job is to hunt them down and squash them. You’ll be the person everyone turns to when "it works on my machine" just won’t cut it
• Collaborating with the dream team 🤝 Work closely with Engineering and Customer Success teams to resolve issues fast, escalate trickier bugs, and suggest systemic fixes where needed
