About The Role

Provide technical support for AI audio platform, troubleshoot APIs, integrations, and telephony issues, and translate complex findings for customers and teams in a fast-paced startup.

We are looking for a highly technical Technical Customer Support Specialist who can independently troubleshoot complex issues across APIs, integrations, and our broader AI audio platform. This person should be comfortable working in a fast-moving startup with minimal handholding, quickly understanding new features and systems, and adapting to constant change.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in technical support within SaaS or high-growth tech environments, is deeply comfortable with troubleshooting AP-related issues, and can read and reason about code. They should also have a strong interest in AI and audio, and be able to translate complex technical findings into clear, concise explanations for both customers and internal teams.

  • Proven ability to ramp quickly with minimal onboarding and operate effectively in ambiguity

  • Basic understanding of how AI models are used in production workflows
  • Interest or experience in audio technology or media processing is a plus
  • Bonus: prior use of AI audio tools

Ways Of Working

  • Highly autonomous: manages own workload, priorities, and learning without close supervision
  • Fast learner: picks up new concepts, tools, and features quickly with limited context or training
  • Adaptable: comfortable when features ship/break without advance notice; adjusts workflows on the fly
  • Proactive: identifies patterns, raises product issues, and improves internal docs/knowledge base

Soft Skills

  • Clear communicator (especially in writing): can turn complex technical issues into straightforward explanations
  • Detail-oriented: careful in analysis, documentation, and customer-facing responses
  • Collaborative: works well with product/engineering and a distributed, international team
  • Driven and accountable: maintains a high bar for quality and follows through end-to-end on issues
