Developer Support Engineer – Premier Support
We’re a globally distributed team building a secure, standards-based identity platform used by governments, digital banks, and regulated industries. Our API-first approach enables organizations to implement OAuth 2.0 and OpenID. Our platform is trusted by governments, financial institutions, and enterprises around the world to secure APIs and protect digital identities at scale. As champions of modern identity standards, we enable developers and architects to build secure and interoperable services with ease.
We’re hiring a Developer Support Engineer to provide world-class technical support to enterprise customers integrating our platform. You’ll work closely with developers, SREs, and our internal engineering team to troubleshoot complex issues, optimize integration flows, and ensure customer success.
What You’ll Do
This is a hands-on, deeply technical, customer-facing role. You will:
- Own and resolve complex technical support cases for enterprise customers while meeting strict SLAs and response targets.
- Troubleshoot and reproduce issues across APIs, distributed systems, and cloud environments.
- Analyze logs, metrics, and traces using tools like Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery, and Grafana.
- Debug API integrations by inspecting HTTP requests/responses, authentication flows, and payloads.
- Collaborate with SRE and Engineering teams to identify root causes and drive production fixes.
- Guide developers on implementing secure authentication using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.
- Support incident response for high-severity issues, including on-call participation when required.
- Contribute to internal tooling, automation, and support workflows (e.g., ticketing, alerting, diagnostics).
- Create technical case studies and improve documentation to reduce future support load.

Support & Communication
- Experience supporting developers, enterprise customers, or working in a developer support / SRE / platform support role
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly
- Ability to work independently in a distributed, cross-functional, and global team
Nice to Have
- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud-native deployments
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, etc.)
