Support Engineer

Department: Tech - Engineering

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Zinc - London

Reporting To: Shervin

Compensation: £45,000 / year

As our product keeps evolving and scaling to support more customers than ever before, we’re looking for a diligent, proactive, and problem-loving Support Engineer to join our team! 🛠️

You’ll be the first line of tech support, working closely with Customer Success and Engineering to diagnose and resolve user issues. You’ll help tackle complex bugs, contribute to challenging investigations, and share learnings that help the team better support our users. If you enjoy debugging tough problems and collaborating across teams, this role is for you.

• 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, elevate trickier bugs, and suggest systemic fixes where needed.
• Process improving wizardry 🧙 Our support process is still early stage. You’ll build on what's there, proactively making it smoother, faster, and more scalable.
• Being the Zendesk master 📬 Own the support tooling end-to-end using Zendesk, ensure tickets are actioned quickly, and make recommendations on improvements that reduce time-to-resolution.
• Supporting users, delighting customers 🌟 Whether it’s a candidate struggling to sign in or an obscure backend issue, you’ll ensure our users always feel supported and heard.

• 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.
• Mongo
  
  DB 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 two 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.
