What does a day in the life of a Technical Support Engineer look like?

Ticket Triage & Intake

  • Serve as the first point of contact for incoming Engineering & Integration requests, including Engineering Service Requests and integration tickets; review, categorize, and triage independently.
  • Confirm what a requester actually needs versus what they initially ask for, gathering the detail and required fields needed before a request is routed onward.
  • Route tickets to the correct owner and approval path, and escape appropriately when a request is out of scope or higher-risk.
  • Prioritize a live queue against documented SLAs; identify and flag at-risk tickets early.
  • Work integration tickets across the three request types: new integration requests, integration access changes, and integration break/fix.
  • Confirm scope with the customer (what they want to integrate or change about an existing integration, or what is broken) and capture the required intake information.
  • Follow the defined approval workflow, ensuring the necessary reviews are completed before any change proceeds.
  • Follow up with customers through the ticketing system, keeping them informed and closing the loop.

Integration Troubleshooting & Break/Fix

  • Troubleshoot integration issues across Salesforce, MuleSoft, many SaaS platforms, and custom integrations, reproducing problems and isolating root cause.
  • Own break/fix integration tickets end to end, from first report through resolution, coordinating with engineers where deeper investigation or a code change is required.
  • Document findings and resolutions as knowledge articles so recurring issues can be resolved faster and more consistently over time.
  • Problem Management & Continuous Improvement
  • Look across tickets for recurring problems and patterns rather than treating each in isolation, and surface the underlying causes.
  • Partner with engineers to drive persistent issues to a permanent upstream fix, reducing repeat tickets and overall queue volume over time.
  • Identify manual or repetitive steps that are good candidates for automation, and propose improvements to intake, triage, and support processes.

Knowledge, Documentation & Reporting

  • Own and curate the knowledge base, runbooks, and SOPs that both the team and our AI tooling rely on, keeping them accurate and current.
  • Produce clear, consistent documentation and notes in Jira and Confluence, and follow written instructions and SOPs accurately.
  • Build and run queries and reports using SQL and Snowflake databases (or similar) to support triage, reporting, and problem analysis.

AI Enablement & Support Automation

  • Help build, tune, and maintain the AI-assisted automation that supports intake and triage, including the knowledge and prompts it relies on.
  • Review the output of AI tooling, correct it where it is wrong, and handle the exceptions and edge cases it cannot resolve.
  • Use AI chat tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and similar) as a routine part of triage, documentation, research, and communication, and bring practical ideas for extending them into the team.
  • Work with internal customers to understand what they actually need versus what they first ask for, clarifying and negotiating scope so requests are well-formed and realistic.
  • Communicate professionally through the ticketing system: acknowledge requests, ask the right clarifying questions, follow up, and confirm resolution.
  • Manage expectations across requesters and stakeholders, giving clear status and proactively flagging when documented SLAs are at risk.
  • Approach every interaction with a customer-service mindset.

Judgment & Collaboration

  • Work independently and take ownership of the queue, while knowing when to ask for help or escalte.
  • Stay effective when working with ambiguity or partial information, gathering what is missing rather than stalling.
  • Collaborate with engineers, analysts, and stakeholders across the team and adjacent functions.

What are the required qualifications for a Technical Support Engineer?

  • 1- 2+ years experience in a technical support, service desk, operations, or coordination role, ideally including exposure to ticketing systems and cross-team troubleshooting.
  • Basic familiarity with integration and access concepts (e.g., OAuth, connected apps, permissions, least-privilege), or a clear willingness to learn them.
  • Prior experience in a help desk, service desk, or ticket-triage function.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Business, or a related field
