Customer Support Engineer

Customer Support Engineer – Hybrid – Gothenburg, Sweden

We seek a Customer Support Engineer to join our team at Microdeb in Gothenburg, Sweden!

We’re looking for a Support Engineer to join our team in Gothenburg. This is not a ticket‑shuffling role. You’ll be the person customers rely on when something breaks, when a query won’t return, when a deployment misbehaves — and you’ll have the technical depth to actually fix it, not just elevate it. You’ll work across SQL databases, light development tasks, and customer‑facing troubleshooting, with modern AI tools as a core part of how you work.

Own customer issues end‑to‑end, from first contact through root cause and resolution. Diagnose and resolve database problems: query performance, indexing, locking, data integrity, backup and recovery. Write and review SQL — from quick investigative queries to stored procedures and schema changes. Read, debug, and occasionally patch application code to identify the source of issues. Reproduce bugs in test environments, file detailed reports for engineering, and follow through.

Build internal tools, scripts, and automations that reduce repeat work and speed up diagnosis. Use AI tools (Claude, Copilot, internal LLM workflows) to accelerate investigation, draft responses, generate queries, and analyze logs. Improve documentation and runbooks so the next person resolves the same issue faster.

Solid hands‑on experience as a DBA or in a database‑heavy support or engineering role. Strong SQL skills — you can write complex queries, read execution plans, and tune performance without reaching for a tutorial. Working knowledge of at least one general‑purpose language (Python, C#, Java, JavaScript, or similar) — enough to read a codebase, debug, and write small fixes or tools.

Fluency with AI‑assisted workflows: you already use LLMs daily for coding, investigation, and writing, and you have opinions about where they help and where they don’t. A bias for action: you’d rather dig in and reproduce the issue than wait for more information. Clear written and verbal communication in Swedish and English — you can explain a technical problem to a non‑technical customer and to a senior engineer in the same day.

Based in or willing to relocate to Gothenburg.

• Experience with cloud databases (Azure SQL, AWS RDS, Snowflake, or similar).
• Familiarity with observability tools (Datadog, Grafana, Open Telemetry).
• Exposure to CI/CD and infrastructure‑as‑code.
• Swedish language skills are a must for this role.

You’ll see more of the product, the codebase, and real customer problems than almost any other role. Support engineers here move into platform, backend, or SRE roles when they want to. We invest in AI tooling and expect everyone to use it well — not as a gimmick, but as leverage.
