  • Industries Common Components / OmniStudio underpinning both


This Support Engineer will be responsible for delivering high-quality customer support to our Premier and broader customer base, contributing to operational excellence, and partnering with Product, Engineering, Success, and Sales to support complex customer environments.
This role requires solid technical skills and a genuine interest in supporting enterprise-grade SaaS platforms in mission-driven, nonprofit, or education-sector environments.
This role also requires meeting operational metrics including Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), Time to Resolve, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) targets. You9ll partner with senior engineers on the most complex cases, grow your product depth over time, and surface product feedback and supportability gaps that help improve the product.

  • 2+ years of prior experience in a Technical Support/Services-related role.
  • Experience with Salesforce and/or CRM applications and other cloud-based technologies.
  • Comfortable interacting with all levels of customer and Salesforce management.
  • Ability to multitask and perform effectively under pressure.
  • Understanding of Internet technologies: firewalls, web servers, web proxy servers, etc.

  • Awareness of the Education Cloud data model: Educational Institution hierarchy, Learner Program, Course Connection, Program Enrollment, Student Success Hub.

  • Flow debugging skills (Record-Triggered, Screen, Scheduled) - where most NPC/EDC declarative automation lives.
  • Sharing & permissions fundamentals: role hierarchy, sharing rules, field-level security - especially as they interact with Person Accounts.
