About the TeamYou'll join Snyk's Technical Support team, part of our Customer Success organization, as the primary technical point of contact for active and prospective Snyk customers across email, chat, and voice.

What You'll Do• Serve as a technical escalation point for Tier 1 and Tier 2 support issues, diving into diagnostic tools and Snyk's codebase to identify root cause and a clear path to resolution.
• Coordinate with Engineering and R&D teams to file, track, and expedite resolution of bug tickets for our most challenging customer issues.
• Be a role model and mentor to Junior Engineers and the wider Technical Support team, helping raise the team's technical depth over time.
• Manage customers through the escalation process, balancing the needs of enterprise accounts with those of self-service users.
• Partner with Product teams and Technical Success Management to develop and drive solutions to recurring customer problems.

• A logical, structured approach to problem solving and prioritization, with the ability to manage complex information from multiple sources.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills at all levels of the business, including senior stakeholders.
• A confident, ownership-driven approach: when a customer needs you, you're ready to act, even with limited information.
