As a Senior Technical Support Engineer, you are a technical leader with extensive knowledge. You use best practices and a deep understanding of business issues to improve our product and processes. You are tasked with solving the most complex problems—those where precedent may not even exist. You often lead small project teams, formally train junior staff, and work independently as a key technical authority for the organization. You are a key escalation point.

- Proactive Analysis: Proactively analyze product architecture and support data to identify and advocate for long-term solutions, preventing entire classes of problems.

- Identify and submit 3 strategic product/platform improvements based on root cause analysis, with at least 1 being accepted onto the official product roadmap.
- Set the technical standard for the entire support organization - 90%+ of tickets (PBLOGs, CETRIs, PSEs) to be high quality - clear & complete details of analysis, troubleshooting, facts, steps taken so far.
- Ideate, develop, and roll out new diagnostic tools and troubleshooting guides.
- Act as the primary technical lead for 100% of P0 (highest-level) incidents, driving resolution and authoring the official RCA.

- Lead 100% of weekly/bi-weekly/monthly status calls with Customers.
