EngineeringEngineering Manager

The Technical Support Engineering Manager will lead the technical support function for AI-powered healthcare and workflow products. This is a hands-on player-coach role combining people leadership, technical troubleshooting, operational ownership, and customer advocacy. You will manage a team of Technical Support Engineers while remaining close to complex escalations, logs, integrations, configurations, and product issues. The role offers the opportunity to build support processes, technical standards, triage playbooks, and AI-assisted tooling from the ground up. You will work closely with Engineering, Product, Customer Success, and onboarding teams to improve resolution times and the overall customer experience. As the organization grows, the position provides scope to shape a scalable support function and progress toward broader technical leadership.

Lead, coach, and develop a team of Technical Support Engineers, establishing high standards for technical depth, responsiveness, ownership, and customer impact.
Mentor team members on log analysis, configuration issues, sensor and integration debugging, technical troubleshooting, and clear communication with non-technical customers.
Build a culture of urgency and accountability, ensuring complex escalations are driven efficiently and thoughtfully through resolution.
Own team SLA performance and continuously improve the speed and quality of the customer support experience.
Develop the roadmap for AI-assisted support tooling, including evaluating and improving agentic triage solutions and internal debugging copilots.
Assess build-versus-buy opportunities as support technology and automation capabilities evolve.
Design repeatable triage processes, technical standards, and playbooks tailored to different customer segments and products.
Identify workflow friction, inefficiencies, and recurring issues, then implement process and tooling improvements.
Partner with Engineering to define how technical escalations are routed, tracked, investigated, and resolved.
Represent customer needs in Engineering and Product discussions, helping teams understand the support implications of technical decisions.
Collaborate with Customer Success and onboarding teams to create effective handoffs and a consistent customer experience throughout the customer lifecycle.
Lead teams through high-impact incidents and customer escalations, using lessons learned to strengthen processes and prevent recurrence.
Help establish clear priorities and practical tradeoffs when multiple teams or initiatives compete for resources.
