Senior Support Systems Administrator

X’s support stack serves 13,000+ enterprise customers across some of the world’s largest industrial operations. As Senior Support Systems Administrator, you’re the technical owner of that infrastructure — not just keeping it running, but making it more resilient, more automated, and more trusted as we scale.
- Own the Zendesk ecosystem — routing logic, triggers, SLAs, and Contextual Work spaces — so every ticket reaches the right agent without manual intervention.
- Build and maintain reliable integrations across Zendesk Suite, ZIS, Intercom, n8n, and Zapier; own the middleware layer that connects our support stack.
- Define and execute QA for all system changes: test plans, UAT, staging environments, and regression testing before anything reaches production.
- Design and maintain disaster recovery for the support infrastructure — organized backups, recovery runbooks, and incident lead when things break.
- Own technical documentation: a version‑controlled source of truth for all workflows, API dependencies, and system changes — accurate enough for engineers, clear enough for agents.
- Build dashboards that reflect reality, standardize metric definitions, and give leadership trusted visibility into support performance.
- 5+ years in Support Operations, Systems Analysis, or a technical ops role at a SaaS company.
- Deep Zendesk expertise — triggers, automations, Liquid Markup, API usage, and Contextual Work spaces.
- Technical fluency in JSON and JavaScript; hands‑on experience with n8n or Zapier for middleware automation.
- Proven QA discipline: test case creation, staging environments, regression testing, and UAT execution.
- Track record of writing documentation that engineers trust and support agents can follow.
- Experience with backup strategies and disaster recovery planning for SaaS tooling.
- Experience with React or Tailwind CSS for Help Center customization.
- SQL or advanced data visualization experience (Looker, Tableau).
- Previous hands‑on or frontline customer support experience.
- Competitive base + variable comp aligned to role and location.
- Meaningful equity in a post‑Series D, $2.5B company.
- Day‑1 health, dental, and vision coverage (Canada Life).
- Unlimited PTO — we take it.
- $500 home office stipend · $1K annual L&D budget.
- Toronto hub with flexible hybrid setup.
