The Role:

We’re looking for a Product Support Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems and improving the stability of our platform. This role is focused on debugging, maintaining, and improving our existing codebase — not testing or identifying bugs, but actually fixing them. You’ll work closely with QA, and the Engineering team to ensure issues are resolved quickly and permanently, helping deliver a more stable and reliable experience for our users.

What you’ll be doing:

• Investigate, reproduce, and resolve software bugs identified by QA, customers, or internal teams.

• Dive deep into the codebase to identify root causes, design effective fixes, and prevent regressions.

• Collaborate with Support and Engineering to triage issues and prioritize fixes.

• Write high-quality, maintainable code that improves stability and performance.

• Contribute automated tests or monitoring to ensure long-term reliability.

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving overall code quality and technical debt reduction.

• Document bug patterns, fixes, and debugging techniques for internal knowledge sharing.

• Occasionally support production hotfixes or emergency patch releases in coordination with DevOps or SRE.

The qualifications you need:

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience (or strong equivalent skills).

• Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node, Go, C#).

• Strong debugging skills — comfortable reading unfamiliar code, logs, and stack traces.

• Understanding of software lifecycle, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (Git).

• Experience working with QA or support teams on issue resolution.

• Curiosity and persistence in root-cause analysis — you like “making things right” more than “starting from scratch.”

• (Nice to have) Experience with observability tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog, Grafana) or issue trackers (e.g., Jira, Linear).

Benefits

• Company stock options as part of your compensation package, giving you the opportunity to share in our company's success and build long-term financial growth.

• A positive and collaborative work environment with a focus on innovation and sustainability.

• Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement plans (401K), and paid time off.

• Opportunities for professional development and career advancement within a growing company.
