• Recommend and implement tooling improvements to streamline L2 workflows.

Stakeholder Management

• Act as a trusted escalation point for Customer Success, Customer Happiness, Sales, Product, and Engineering.

• Communicate proactively during critical incidents with clarity, ownership, and confidence.

• Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (Python, Go, Java, PHP).

• Demonstrated experience handling critical customer escalations.

Good to Have

• Experience working in a CPaaS, SaaS, or cloud platform environment.

• Exposure to AI products, chatbots, voice bots, or LLM-driven systems.
