Supportability Engineer 3

About the job

This position is needed to embed customer-centricity into the product development lifecycle and eliminate friction before it reaches the user. As a Supportability Engineer, you will sit at the critical intersection of Customer Experience and R&D, serving as the technical voice of the customer. You will go beyond standard readiness; you will advocate for the customer during the design phase to prevent issues before they occur. By analyzing data and collaborating with engineering, you will influence product roadmaps, drive seamless launches, and design excellence into our products to minimize the need for reactive support.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

• Embed customer supportability requirements into the earliest stages of the Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC) by participating in design reviews and technical planning with R&D.
• Analyze support data and customer feedback to construct evidence-based business cases that influence R&D to prioritize certain improvements.
• Provide specifications for proactive product features (such as clearer error messages and diagnostic tools) to reduce friction and deflect potential support tickets.
• Orchestrate the Global Ops readiness strategy for new features, ensuring Frontline Support and Ops teams are equipped with the necessary training, documentation, and tooling prior to launch.
• Collaborate with R&D to translate complex customer use cases into actionable requirements that ensure long-term product health.
