- Own regular tickets and complex escalations for DeepL API and enterprise customers from intake through resolution.
- Troubleshoot customer issues involving translation workflows, authentication flows, SAML/OIDC, SCIM sync behavior, role/permission issues, and integration misconfigurations.
- Join customer video calls to investigate issues live with developers, enterprise administrators, and end users.
- Reproduce defects, gather technical evidence, identify whether issues are caused by product bugs, customer configuration, third-party systems, or documentation gaps.
- Use AI tools effectively and responsibly during troubleshooting, including for log analysis, hypothesis generation, issue summarization, and debugging workflow acceleration.
- Provide clear workarounds and resolution plans, and communicate status confidently during high-severity cases.
- Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Security, Professional Services and Solution Consulting to drive fixes and improve product reliability.
- Build and maintain playbooks, troubleshooting guides, internal documentation, and reusable diagnostic patterns.
- Mentor Support specialists through case reviews, shadowing, onboarding, and technical training.
- Contribute lightweight automation, scripts, dashboards, or tools that improve support efficiency and case quality.
Qualities we look for
- Experience in a highly technical support role working for a SaaS organisation.

- Strong understanding of SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, provisioning/deprovisioning, RBAC, and common IdP patterns.
- Hands-on experience troubleshooting integrations involving Okta, Microsoft Entra / Azure AD, Google Workspace, or similar platforms.
- Familiarity with troubleshooting using AI tools, and judgment to use those tools safely, critically, and efficiently.
- Familiarity with SQL and basic scripting in Python or Bash.
- Experience collaborating with Product and Engineering
- Ability to explain technical issues clearly to both developers and less technical administrators.
- Confidence running live debugging sessions over video with customers.
