Position Overview

The Escalations Engineer plays a critical role in resolving our most complex customer issues with speed, precision, and empathy. This position bridges the gap between Support, Engineering, and Product teams—owning escalations end-to-end, performing deep technical analysis, and turning insights into reusable tools and documentation that improve future support outcomes.

In this role, you'll use SQL forensics, diagnostic tooling, and light automation to identify root causes, deliver timely customer-safe updates, and prevent recurrence through clear communication and knowledge capture. You'll be at the center of the customer experience for our most critical situations—helping ensure confidence, stability, and continuous improvement across HungerRush 360.

This is a remote role.

• Document clean repro kits and internal RCA notes to drive faster future resolutions.

• Partner cross-functionally with Development, QA, and Product to ensure permanent fixes are tracked and implemented.
• Automate common checks and repetitive troubleshooting steps using SQL, PowerShell, or macros.
• Monitor feature releases and flag changes that could impact support volume, publishing “Support Impact” notes proactively.
• Represent the voice of Support in release readiness and defect triage meetings.
• Contribute to team culture by modeling HungerRush TRACS values: Team, Respect, Accountability, Customer, and Speed
