At Zello, our company values are at the heart of what we do everyday. We’re proud to serve the frontline, we’re privileged to connect people in times of crisis across the globe, and we’re honored to support first responders.
And this is where you come in.
As our enterprise customer base grows and our platform deepens, we need a Senior Support Engineer who can own the most complex technical challenges our customers bring us, reduce resolution time for critical issues, and build the systems and knowledge that make the entire support organization more effective. You will report to the Product Advocate Manager and work in close partnership with Engineering, Product, and Customer Success.
After a successful first year, you will have:
- Owned and resolved every Tier-1 enterprise escalation that reached you, with documented root-cause analyses that Engineering could act on directly.
- Built or meaningfully expanded the internal diagnostic runbook library, cutting average L2 escalation-to-resolution time by a measurable margin.
- Established a repeatable escalation triage process between Support and Engineering that both teams trust and use.
- Mentored L2 Support Engineers and L1 product advocates on advanced troubleshooting
- Aided our CS team in working through their customers’ most complex configuration and user management issues, acting as a direct and available resource customers can rely on.
What you'll do
- Own the most complex technical escalations from L2: multi-system integration failures, network-level anomalies, SDK defects, and enterprise deployment edge cases. Driving each to full resolution.
- Serve as the primary technical liaison to Engineering: write precise, reproducible bug reports, lead escalation triage, and close the loop until issues are resolved or deprioritized with clear rationale.
- Build and maintain diagnostic tooling, automation scripts, and runbooks that reduce repeat escalations and accelerate resolution across the support org.
- Lead technical onboarding and implementation reviews for strategic enterprise accounts, including MDM, SSO, custom API integrations, and on-premise server deployments.
- Support enterprise developers integrating Zello SDKs and APIs, helping them design robust, production-ready solutions.
- Identify systemic patterns in support data: recurring bugs, configuration gaps, documentation holes. Bringing structured proposals to Product and Engineering.
- Mentor L2 Support Engineers through complex troubleshooting scenarios, code-level log analysis, and cross-functional escalation workflows.
- Define and continuously improve escalation protocols, support processes, and internal knowledge-base standards.
Who you are
- You've resolved technically ambiguous, high-pressure enterprise issues end-to-end and you can walk through exactly how you diagnosed each one.
- You have 6+ years of technical support, solutions engineering, or a closely related role at a SaaS or communications technology company.
- You understand APIs, networking fundamentals, and mobile platforms (Android/iOS) at a depth that lets you read a packet capture or a crash log and know immediately where to look next.
- You write scripts, build lightweight tooling, and automate repetitive diagnostics. Y
