SmartX’s managed accounts technology is powering the next generation of wealth management platforms for financial advisors. When our clients encounter issues, they turn to the SmartX client support team. Our goal for the technical support engineering team is to help our client’s technical teams find and implement solutions as quickly and compassionately as possible in order to keep their applications running smoothly, their end users happy, and their operations humming along. We are looking for a technical support engineer to help us quantify the impact and scope of these problems, identify the root cause, and collaborate with our Product Engineering teams to find a resolution when there's not an immediate solution. 

As a technical support engineer, you will manage issues from start to finish, ensuring that all stakeholders have up to date information during the process. We are looking for individuals who are naturally empathetic and collaborative, technical in nature, and can work through problems in a logical progression. You will be collaborating directly with our engineers, product managers,  client success team, and customer support personnel internally and working with both technical and non-technical clients. Therefore, we need an individual with a strong technical background and a fundamental understanding of API driven products. 

What you'll do:

• Investigate issues, including root cause analysis, symptom description, and quantifying the severity
• Setting up clients for success by answering questions, troubleshooting issues, and acting as a subject matter expert
• Serve as the initial contact for technology-related issues from clients or other employees
• Assist our client success team in building Troubleshooting and How To guides
• Monitor our Service Desk ticket tracking system to respond to problems identified by users in a timely manner.
• You will be our first Technical Support Engineer, so we are hoping you will evolve into a team leader as we build this team out by creating standard practices and shaping the support process around our strategic goals

What we're looking for:

• 2+ years supporting clients, ideally for SaaS based products or in the enterprise software space
