Description
As our product keeps evolving and scaling to support more customers than ever before, we’re looking for a diligent, proactive, and problem-loving Product Support Engineer to join our team! 🛠️
You’ll provide technical support for our software, working closely with Customer Success and Engineering to diagnose and resolve user issues. You’ll help tackle complex bugs, contribute to challenging investigations, and share learnings that help the team better support our users. If you enjoy debugging tough problems and collaborating across teams, this role is for you.
This role focuses on supporting a software product rather than internal IT systems or hardware, and is well suited to candidates who enjoy problem-solving and understanding how complex applications behave in real-world environments.
Key Responsibilities 🗝️
-
Problem-solving like a detective 🔍 Some issues will be straightforward, others subtle and elusive. Your job is to hunt them down and squash them. You’ll be the person everyone turns to when "it works on my machine" just won’t cut it.
-
Collaborating with the dream team 🤝 Work closely with Engineering and Customer Success teams to resolve issues fast, escalate trickier bugs, and suggest systemic fixes where needed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
-
Process improving wizardry 🧙 Our support process is still early stage. You’ll build on what's there, proactively making it smoother, faster, and more scalable.
-
Being the Zendesk master 📬 Own the support tooling end-to-end using Zendesk, ensure tickets are actioned quickly, and make recommendations on improvements that reduce time-to-resolution.
-
Supporting users, delighting customers 🌟 Whether it’s a candidate struggling to sign in or an obscure backend issue, you’ll ensure our users always feel supported and heard.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise 🚀
Hard Skills ⚡
- Zendesk experience (or other customer service and engagement platform) You’ve used a support system at scale and know how to optimise it for speed and clarity.
- MongoDB and database know-how 🗄️ Some tickets may require peeking into production data.
- Scripting knowledge 🖥️ You don’t need to live in the codebase, but being able to run diagnostics, write quick scripts, or understand logs will make you unstoppable.
Soft Skills ✨
- Proactive – You don’t wait for problems; you anticipate them, flag them, and fix them.
- Autonomous - You’ll be a team of two for now, so high ownership and self-motivation are musts.
- Problem Solver - You live for the "can’t reproduce" bugs and messy edge cases.
- Strong Communicator - You'll be interfacing with our Customer Success team, engineers, and end-users. Clarity and empathy go a long way.
- Kind and collaborative - While you'll work independently, you’re excited to engage across teams to improve the whole user experience.
