At Nylas, our mission is to empower the world to communicate with context and insight. Our hosted sync platform and APIs enable developers to quickly integrate their apps with email, contacts, and calendar across all providers (including Exchange).

About The Role
Do you love digging into the nitty-gritty of weird issues? Enjoy explaining the intricacies of the system to customers without revealing too much of the sausage? Delight in documenting the precise code and actions that generate unexpected behavior? This Senior Support Engineer role might be for you!

Responsibilities
In addition to acting as a frontline Nylas support engineer, responding to customer concerns and handling situations that need further investigation, you will participate in the escalations process by:
  • Reviewing incoming reports from your fellow team members (and from yourself, when you're busy in the queue but still need to note an issue for later investigation).
  • Working with the team to collect any additional information needed from the customer and user.
  • Performing additional investigation using internal tooling (for example, Kibana, Honeycomb, and other monitoring systems) to gather data and discern patterns and possible triggers for the issue, including the relevant code when possible.
  • Creating reproduction environments and reproducing issues in order to share steps to reproduce, whenever feasible, using systems and tools such as G Suite, Microsoft Online, and Postman.
  • Determining possible workarounds and communicating them to the reporting Support Engineer.
  • Assessing the impact of the issue as characterized.
  • Documenting your work and communicating with the Escalations Lead regarding next steps for investigation or escalation.
As part of these responsibilities, you will also have increased opportunity to:
  • Share debugging tips, tricks, and test accounts/environments with other support engineers
  • Identify concerning trends in incoming issues and share them with the Escalations lead
  • Submit suggestions or patches for improving support tooling
  • Contribute to the growth and evolution of Escalations 
  • Submit fixes to the codebase
Qualifications
  • You've provided technical product support (preferably for SaaS) for 2+ years or held a senior technical support role
  • You have in-depth experience reproducing and debugging complex technical issues, troubleshooting bugs, and communicating successfully about your results with both customers and engineers
  • You've written and/or debugged code (especially Python, JavaScript, or Ruby)
  • You've used APIs extensively to query data and/or build applications
  • You can thrive in a fast-paced environment with lots of autonomy
  • You are detail-oriented and have great verbal and written communication skills
  • You have deep empathy towards technical and non-technical users
  • You love solving puzzles and learning new tools and approaches to do so
 
BONUS POINTS if:
  • you have experience working with major communications provider APIs (email, phone, text, etc.) 
  • you have experience with email server administration (e.g. Microsoft, Google, IMAP, etc.)
