Technical Support Engineer–Healthcare AI
Technical Support Engineer–Healthcare AI
Location: Remote, located in the US; San Francisco Bay Area
Type: Full-time employee
Department: Engineering
Reports to: Head Of Engineering
About the role
We’re hiring a customer-facing engineer to be the first line of defense when bugs surface in production. You’ll triage issues, communicate clearly with customers and internal teams, and fix them directly when they’re in your wheelhouse; otherwise, you’ll route them to the right team with crisp reproduction steps and context. This is a great fit for a new grad who loves debugging, has strong people skills, and wants to learn how real systems behave in the wild.
What you’ll do
- ● Own production bug intake & triage: Validate, prioritize, reproduce, and determine blast radius/severity.
- ● Fix what you can: Ship targeted fixes in Python/TypeScript/JavaScript for well-scoped issues.
- ● Create high-quality tickets: Clear STRs, logs, metrics, proposed owner, and customer impact.
- ● Be the voice of the customer: Translate user reports into actionable engineering work; close the loop with customers.
- ● Incident response: Participate in on-call/alert rotations (reasonable hours; we’ll train you).
- ● Observability & tooling: Use logs, metrics, traces, error dashboards (e.g., Sentry/Datadog/Grafana) to diagnose issues.
- ● Quality guardrails: Add tests, monitors, and docs to prevent regressions; champion post-mortems and follow-ups.
- ● Documentation: Write and maintain runbooks, “known issues,” FAQs, and internal troubleshooting guides.
You may work with
- ● Stack: Python (APIs, services, scripts), TypeScript/JavaScript (web frontends, Node services).
- ● Data & infra: REST/GraphQL, SQL basics, queues, cloud platforms (e.g., GCP/AWS), CI/CD.
- ● Dev tools: GitHub, Jira, Sentry, Datadog/Grafana, Postman/cURL.
Must-haves
- ● BS in CS (or equivalent experience) graduating 2024–2026.
- ● Comfort reading and writing Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript.
- ● Strong debugging instincts: Isolate variables, create minimal repros, read stack traces/logs.
- ● Excellent communicator: Can explain technical issues to both engineers and non-technical users.
- ● Organized and reliable: You close the loop, document decisions, and follow through.
- ● US citizen or permanent resident (green card holder).
Nice-to-haves
- ● Experience developing with generative AI or voice agents.
- ● Experience with web APIs, auth, and HTTP fundamentals.
- ● Familiarity with monitoring/alerting tools (Sentry, Datadog, Grafana, Cloud Logging).
- ● Basic SQL and comfort querying production data safely.
- ● Exposure to cloud (GCP/AWS) and CI/CD pipelines.
- ● Prior customer-facing or support/TA experience.
How we’ll measure success (first 90 days)
- ● Median time-to-triage and time-to-first-response meet agreed SLAs.
- ● High-quality tickets (clear STR, logs, owner, severity) acknowledged by engineering leads.
- ● Meaningful fixes/PRs merged with tests; reduction in repeat incidents for assigned areas.
- ● Positive internal and customer feedback on clarity and reliability of communications.
