About the role

  • Be the person customers can count on, responding via email, ticketing systems, and the occasional video call with the kind of clarity and care that turns frustrated users into loyal ones.
  • Triage and prioritize incoming issues with urgency, consistently meeting SLA targets while leveraging AI tools to work smarter and resolve issues faster.
  • Dig into complex issues across APIs, connectors, data pipelines, and SaaS integrations, not just finding workarounds but partnering with Engineering to get to the root cause and drive real fixes.
  • Document and reproduce customer-reported bugs with enough detail that the right people can act on them quickly.
  • Support embedded platform customers through onboarding and troubleshooting, including OAuth flows, widget tokens, scoped API tokens, and connector configuration.
  • Get hands-on with customers who are building and debugging integrations, helping them navigate the Airbyte API and third-party APIs with confidence, from authentication and pagination to rate limiting, error handling, and webhooks.
  • Test and validate API endpoints, review request/response payloads, and guide customers through integration best practices.
  • Support customers with the Embedded API, covering source creation, connector template management, and widget token authentication.
  • Help customers building on the Airbyte Connector SDK find their footing, including YAML-based connector definitions, OpenAPI specs, and cassette-based testing workflows.
  • Stay sharp on Airbyte's API surface, new connector releases, and platform updates so your guidance is always accurate and timely.
  • Be the voice of the customer inside Airbyte, working closely with Engineering and Product to surface issues, advocate for feature requests, and make sure customer pain points actually influence the roadmap.
  • Partner with the Agentic Data Platform team to relay platform-specific feedback, connector gaps, and SDK usability issues before they become bigger problems.
  • Partner with Sales and Customer Success for technical conversations, onboarding, and expansion efforts, bringing the kind of product depth that helps close and retain customers.
  • Create and maintain internal and external knowledge base articles, troubleshooting guides, and API documentation to support scalability.
  • Document research and troubleshooting processes to aid in faster ticket resolution and team knowledge-sharing.
  • Identify opportunities for automation and process improvements with AI that reduce support load and improve the customer experience.
  • Spearhead initiatives to fill organizational or support gaps and take ownership of unique projects.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in technical support, data engineering, DevOps, QA, or a similar role supporting developers or technical users.
  • Hands-on experience with RESTful APIs and GraphQL, including OAuth, pagination, webhooks, rate limiting, and error handling.
  • Proficiency with API testing tools like Postman or cURL.
  • Understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and data integration concepts including ELT/ETL workflows.
  • Strong troubleshooting instincts, clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and a growth mindset that keeps you improving even when things get hard.
