Support Engineering at PayIt

When a resident can't renew a license, pay a property tax bill, or clear a court fee, the problem lands with us. Support Engineering is the technical layer between our government clients and the platform that serves millions of their residents. We reproduce and diagnose real bugs, dig through APIs, logs, and data to find root causes, and turn what we learn into fixes, documentation, and clearer answers for the people relying on us. The work is technical, the stakes are real, and the impact is public. If you like solving hard problems and writing like a human while you do it, this is a good place to grow.
