You'll be part of the dedicated escalation team behind our offshore Tier 1 team, so complex issues get solved fast by people who own them.

What you'll do‍

‍Tier 2 support

  • Own Tier 2 escalations. Take the cases the offshore Tier 1 team hand off: payments and wallet setup, data fixes, deposits, reporting and account configuration.
  • Be the link to engineering. Reproduce bugs, log them in Jira with clear steps and impact, manage the "Waiting for Eng" queue and close the loop with customers.
  • Protect at-risk accounts. Spot customers with repeat or serious issues and bring in the right Account Manager with the full picture.
  • Build the Tier 2 playbooks. Document how Tier 2 issues are solved, so that knowledge lives with support.
  • Feed AI and the help center. Turn solved cases into help articles and AI guidance, and tag every conversation Tier 1 or Tier 2 so routing and reporting stay accurate.
  • Grow the offshore team. Train the offshore team to take on repeatable Tier 2 work (payments and wallet setup, reporting how-to, deposits) starting mid-2027.
  • Cover weekends on rotation. Share a Tier 2 weekend on-call rotation for urgent escalations.
  • Hand off across time zones. Coordinate handoffs with the offshore team so nothing drops between shifts.
  • Surface patterns. Escalate recurring issues and customer pain points to leadership, and work with Implementation and Account Management on cross-team needs.

Team leadership

  • Review ticket quality and coach the offshore team
  • Tune AI answers and handoff rules based on what reaches Tier 2
  • Own routing rules and queue health across Tier 1 and Tier 2

  • Strong troubleshooting: reproducing issues, reading account settings and data, and fixing root causes, not just closing tickets
  • Experience working with engineering on bugs, ideally logging issues in Jira or a similar tracker
  • Experience writing help center articles, macros or internal playbooks
  • Clear, warm written and verbal communication, including explaining technical fixes to non-technical business owners

  • CSAT on Tier 2 conversations at or above the current baseline

By 6 months
