Support Engineer

Reports To:

Director of Engineering

Axis Care is hiring a full-time, fully remote Support Engineer to protect Engineering's capacity, give the Support team greater leverage, and make sure the problems that matter most get seen and fixed fast.

You'll report into Engineering but embed daily with the Support team. They handle most customer issues directly, but the particularly tough cases they can't crack land on your desk, and you'll work with them to diagnose the problem and resolve it. When it's a real bug, you'll hand Product and Engineering a clean, well-scoped ticket with everything they need to fix it quickly.

But the lasting impact of this role isn't in solving individual tickets. It's in building the systems that help the whole Support team get better: the things that help them answer their own questions before they need to ask you, and help you answer yours before you need to ask a PM or software engineer.

If you do great work here and want to grow into a software engineering role, we'll be excited to support that career growth. This seat is on the Engineering team for a reason.

Own the escalation path above the Support team's top tier. Diagnose and resolve the issues that have them stumped by scouring logs and dashboards, running database queries, and drawing on your growing knowledge of our systems.

Build the systems that give the Support team leverage: runbooks, diagnostic scripts, automations, internal dashboards, tighter escalation workflows, and AI-assisted triage tooling.

Coach the Support team on technical troubleshooting and what makes a strong escalation: the right context, the right logs, clear reproduction steps. This feedback loop is one of the most valuable things you'll create. Over time, the whole team gets sharper, and the escalations that reach you arrive better every round.

When real bugs surface, file well-scoped tickets with reproduction steps, relevant logs, and enough context that Engineering can solve the problem quickly and Product knows where to slot it in priority.

Keep Engineering focused on building. You're the filter that turns a flood of 'something's broken' into a short list of real, well-documented problems they can act on quickly.

Use AI tools to diagnose issues faster, write and maintain runbooks, and build internal tooling.

A relentless troubleshooter. You don't stop at "I can't reproduce it." You dig through logs, trace the data, check the timeline, and figure out what actually happened. And you deeply understand the business context, so you know where to focus your efforts first.

A systems builder. You see the same class of issue come through three times and your instinct is to build something so nobody has to elevate it again: a runbook, a script, a dashboard.

A clear, direct communicator. You translate messy customer-reported symptoms into precise technical descriptions. You write bug reports that engineers love to read. You explain technical problems to non-technical people without talking down or hand-waving.

An AI power user. You use AI to move faster: diagnosing problems, uncovering tricky system behavior, building internal tools. You don't wait for someone to hand you a playbook.

Technically strong at the tooling layer. You're at home in monitoring and observability platforms like Grafana, Honeycomb, and Cloud Watch, comfortable writing database queries, and you know your way around Git Hub and Jira. You can read logs, trace request flows, and understand what the system is telling you.

Someone who makes both teams better. Support improves because you coach them on technical troubleshooting and what makes a strong escalation. Engineering improves because the only tickets that reach them are real, well-documented, and ready to act on.
