Senior Software Support Engineer

Senior Software Support Engineer Solve Complex Problems. Own Technical Solutions. Make a Real Impact.

Are you an experienced Software Engineer who enjoys digging into challenging technical problems, understanding how systems work, and finding solutions that make a lasting difference?

We're partnering with a growing, mission-driven SaaS technology company seeking a Senior Software Support Engineer to take ownership of complex production issues across its software platforms. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives on troubleshooting, enjoys hands-on development, and wants to have a meaningful impact on product reliability, performance, and the customer experience.

This isn't a traditional help desk or support position. It's a hands-on engineering role where you'll work directly with application code, databases, integrations, and cloud infrastructure to solve challenging problems, identify root causes, and implement long-term solutions.

You'll also have opportunities to contribute to software development, application modernization, automation, and AI-driven improvements while working alongside a collaborative engineering team.

What You'll Be Doing Own complex technical challenges:
Lead Tier 3 production support efforts, investigating and resolving escalated application issues from diagnosis through resolution.

Get hands-on with code:
Troubleshoot and resolve issues involving Ruby on Rails, React/Type Script, SQL/PostgreSQL, and related technologies, including implementing targeted code fixes.

Solve problems at their source:
Perform root-cause analysis across applications, databases, integrations, and infrastructure to prevent recurring issues.

Collaborate with engineering teams:
Partner with Software Engineering, QA, Dev Ops, Product, and Support to improve application stability, performance, and reliability.

Drive automation and innovation:
Develop scripts, tools, and AI-assisted solutions to streamline troubleshooting, diagnostics, and support processes.

Contribute to product evolution:
Participate in software enhancements and modernization initiatives, including migration from legacy technologies to modern frameworks.

Become a technical expert:
Develop deep knowledge of the company's SaaS applications and serve as a trusted resource for resolving challenging technical issues.

Share your expertise:
Help mentor junior engineers, improve technical documentation, and establish best practices.

Experience with Ruby on Rails, React, Type Script, SQL/PostgreSQL, and familiarity with AngularJS.

Working knowledge of AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and authentication/SSO technologies.

Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools such as Git Hub Copilot, Claude, or similar technologies.

Strong analytical thinking, technical ownership, and the ability to prioritize and resolve customer-impacting issues.

Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technical and nontechnical teams.
