The Role

AssemblyAI is growing quickly, and we’re searching for a driven and dedicated Senior API Support Engineer to work on our multi-functional team. This role will support our customers in the Australia timezone and requires working 8-5pm ACT.

Ideally, you have experience working as a developer or technical support in a past role. With significant investment and strong leadership to fuel our growth, it’s the perfect time to join the AssemblyAI team.

What you will do:

• Be the first line of support AssemblyAI's customers. You'll work directly with new customers who are integrating our API to make sure their integration is going well. You'll also be responsible for checking in on current customers, notifying them about upcoming new features/product updates, and collecting any feedback they have.
• Serve as the "product expert". You'll be responsible for answering technical questions about the product over live chat, Slack, and email. We're a small team, and this will also be a great opportunity to wear multiple hats and to serve in a critical cross-functional role.

• Be the liaison between the customer and our engineering teams. You'll manage our ticketing system and serve as the liaison between the customer and our engineering team for bug reports, feature requests, and technical issues that are reported.
• Manage and contribute to our technical resources. You will make updates and improvements to our official documentation, contribute to our SDKs, and build and maintain third-party integrations.

What you'll need:

• 1 year+ of experience in a similar support role
• Prior customer or client-facing experience, ideally in a high-growth startup environment
• Experience working in a technical role, like technical support, solutions architect, software developer, QA testing, etc.
