Key Responsibilities

Operations Management (50%)

• Systems Architecture & Integration Stack: Architect and maintain the end-to-end technical infrastructure stack for support operations — including RESTful API integrations , webhook orchestration , and event-driven data flow across Zendesk , Linear , Monday.com , and BetterStack ; lead database-level troubleshooting and telemetry analysis to diagnose system-level anomalies in partnership with Core Engineering.

• Workflow & Incident Engineering: Design and deploy automated incident response pipelines, multi-tiered escalation pathways, and real-time SLA telemetry engines ; establish programmatic tracking for MTTR , system availability , and operational error budgets to maintain high-precision visibility into platform health.

• AI Orchestration & Automation Engineering: Programmatically reduce triage latency by building and deploying LLM-driven automation pipelines using n8n , Glean , and the Claude API to execute automated payload validation, log parsing, and context enrichment prior to human engineering review.

• L3 Technical Escalations & Diagnostic Runbooks: Serve as the final support escalation tier for high-severity integration failures, API payload malformations , and network layer dropouts; author comprehensive diagnostic runbooks, API failure trees, and system topology documentation to increase first-contact resolution rates.

• Operational Telemetry & System Analytics: Build custom analytics dashboards to query and analyze operational telemetry; perform root-cause analysis ( RCA ) on systemic platform failures to drive continuous improvement in automated triage and fault tolerance.

People Management & Leadership (50%)

• Engineering Team Leadership & Mentorship: Directly manage and upskill a high-caliber team of Technical Support Engineers ; cultivate a rigorous, systems-engineering mindset focused on root-cause diagnosis, clean code practices in scripting, and operational reliability.

• Performance Metrics & Technical Growth: Define quantitative engineering benchmarks and technical proficiency targets; structure 1:1s, architectural walkthroughs, and technical development plans that promote internal advancement and low attrition.

• Cross-Functional Platform Interface: Act as the primary technical liaison between Support Operations, Core Platform Engineering, Product Management, and Solutions Architecture; translate technical support telemetry into actionable bug reports, feature requests, and system resilience specifications.

• Reliability Enablement & Customer Advocacy: Lead technical enablement sessions on newly shipped platform endpoints and infrastructure shifts; advocate for platform stability and API backward compatibility to ensure seamless operations for enterprise health system deployments.

What We're Looking For

• 5–7 years managing highly technical support teams in a SaaS or healthtech environment; startup experience strongly preferred

• Deep expertise in Zendesk and strong familiarity with Linear , Monday.com , HubSpot , BetterStack , and CRM/integration platforms

• Experience in radiology or other healthcare tech a major plus

• Hands-on experience with automation tools such as n8n , Zapier , or similar platforms

• Proven track record designing and managing cross-functional systems and workflows

• Experience implementing or leveraging AI tools to improve operational efficiency — not just evaluating them, but shipping them

• Demonstrated people management experience alongside systems/operations ownership

• Ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels, from high-level architecture to detailed platform configuration

• Excellent stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical audiences

• Experience supporting go-live operations and enterprise customer onboarding a strong plus
