A US healthcare technology company running an API-driven platform is hiring a Tech Support Specialist to own front-line technical triage and turn client-reported integration issues into clean, complete escalations.

The client serves US-based customers in a HIPAA-regulated environment with a structured support organization and defined Tier 1 to Tier 2 escalation paths. A company-wide migration from Zendesk to Salesforce is underway over the next 2–3 months, and systems and processes evolve on roughly a two-month cycle as the platform scales.

This role handles 20–30 tickets daily plus roughly 10 short inbound calls, reviewing client-submitted API payloads and requests, identifying missing or incorrectly filled fields, and determining whether an issue is a bug, a user error, or a configuration problem before it reaches Tier 2. This is a Tier 1 position with strong technical fundamentals, not a Tier 2 role requiring log analysis or system-level debugging. Success means matching existing team performance benchmarks within 2–3 weeks and demonstrating efficient, well-documented technical escalations within the first 30 days.

Core Responsibilities

• Review client-submitted API payloads and requests to identify missing or incorrectly filled fields.
• Run first-line troubleshooting steps and guide clients through resolution walkthroughs before escalating.
• Classify each issue as a bug, user error, or configuration problem.
• Package complete context and replication steps so Tier 2 does not need to re-triage.

• Manage 20–30 tickets daily with clear, professional written responses.
• Maintain ticket hygiene by updating statuses accurately and closing resolved issues promptly.
• Track open bug tickets and escalate when immediate closure is not possible.
• Meet or exceed team benchmarks for response time, resolution time, and customer satisfaction.

• Handle approximately 10 inbound calls per day, averaging 2–4 minutes each.
• Resolve technical questions in real time over the phone with US-based clients.
• Translate technical findings into plain language for non-technical callers.

• Support the company-wide transition from Zendesk to Salesforce over the next 2–3 months.
• Apply prior Salesforce experience to shorten ramp time during the migration.
• Adopt new tools and revised processes as the support stack evolves.
