As our IT B2B Tech Support, you will be the on-the-ground technical and functional point of contact for Elastic, Salomon's B2B platform, supporting our North America Sales Operations and Customer Service teams. Based in New York, you'll close the time-zone gap with our support and engineering team in Annecy, giving NAM business users real-time responsiveness they wouldn't otherwise have.

Your main responsibilities will include:

User Support
  • Respond to requests and incidents reported by NAM Sales Operations and Customer Service teams via ServiceNow, with respect, clarity, and pedagogy, during their business hours.
  • Identify, analyze, and resolve technical and functional issues related to Elastic and the surrounding microservices and console ecosystem.
  • Escalate complex issues to the Annecy-based teams when necessary, ensuring proper handover despite the time difference.

KPI Follow-up & Improvement
  • Ensure resolution time and response quality commitments are met.
  • Contribute to the analysis of performance indicators and propose corrective actions.

Knowledge Base Management
  • Create, update, and maintain a clear, accessible knowledge base for the support team and users.
  • Document recurring issues and their solutions.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
  • Work autonomously on a day-to-day basis, with regular but asynchronous alignment with the Annecy-based teams given the time-zone gap.
  • Make recommendations to optimize support processes and tools.
  • Contribute to minor developments, bug fixes, or configuration changes within the microservices stack or internal consoles, under the guidance of the Annecy team.
  • Actively use and champion AI tools to improve support efficiency, from diagnosing issues faster to streamlining recurring tasks and continuously improving support processes.
  • Be curious and think about the platform and its users as if you own it.

Support Console Contribution
  • In parallel with day-to-day support, the team is building a dedicated "Support Console": an internal diagnostic tool designed to help quickly investigate concrete cases (for example, cross-checking customer and product authorization data to determine why a given product isn't visible to a given customer).
  • Depending on availability, contribute to the development of this Support Console and/or provide feedback and recommendations for improvements based on real support cases and needs.


Qualifications

You are a strong match for this role if you bring:
  • 3-5 years of experience as a developer or in a technical/functional support role
  • A genuine functional appetite: real interest in how the business and product work, not just the code
  • Experience with Node.js, AWS (Lambda, Serverless) and Next.js
  • Solid grasp of microservices architecture, event-driven design and agile/DevOps ways of working
  • Comfort working with data integrations across CRM, PIM/DAM and ERP (SAP) systems
  • A resourceful, solution-oriented mindset with strong debugging and troubleshooting skills
  • Genuine interest in using AI tools day-to-day, without needing to be an AI expert
  • Strong autonomy and sense of priorities, and comfort working with a manager based remotely in France
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; fluent English required, French is a plus
