SMG – Service Management Group is hiring Senior Software Support Engineers!

Senior Support Engineers resolve or triage more complex client-report issues pertaining to SMG applications and tools. They possess strong technical skills in several SMG products and have access to back-end tools for more advanced troubleshooting.

This role is ideal for candidates with significant customer and software application support experience looking to advance their technical skills.

  • Work with SMEs to gather knowledge for updating technical documentation in company’s knowledge base.
  • Provide recommendations to engineering teams on how to deflect high-volume issues, update tools to provide better data for analysis, and/or consider technical customer feedback i.e. voice of the customer.
  • Provide 24x7 on-call support for proprietary applications.
  • Partner with internal technical peers to create and update troubleshooting documentation and scripts.

 

You are a perfect match for the role if you have:

  • 3+ yrs in a technical support role focused on providing root cause, technical solutions (configuration changes, code changes, no-code integrations).
  • 2+ yrs in a customer facing support role.
  • Experience supporting applications or large-scale systems preferably in a SaaS environment.
  • Proficiency reading and troubleshooting various coding languages, but mainly C# & SQL.

  • Experience supporting and troubleshooting services and APIs.
  • Experience learning & maintaining complex application configurations.
  • Experience providing 24x7 application support.
  • Dedicated internet access (30Mb/s download / 20 Mb/s upload).

  • Comfortable in a role providing quick solutions over many products.
  • Fluent in English, written and spoken.
