Age of Learning’s Engineering team is seeking an experienced Customer Success Engineer to provide the highest technical support and expertise to some of our largest and most strategic accounts. The Customer Success Engineer is technically competent, business-oriented, and highly customer-centric.
The Customer Success Engineer will act as a dedicated technical escalation partner for the Technical Implementation team, working with Customer Success and the Technical Implementation teams to resolve complex issues that surface via our support channels. They will manage and reprioritize escalated JIRAs, coordinate internal communications, collaborate with Product and Development teams, and proactively drive technical problems to resolution.
In this role, the Customer Success Engineer ensures that front-line Technical Implementation contacts remain the customer’s main point of contact while providing a streamlined, efficient, and expert response to complex technical challenges. The ideal candidate will possess deep technical expertise, software development experience, and excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Responsibilities:
- Own and drive escalated technical issues to resolution, collaborating with Product Management, Product Development, QA, and Support teams to ensure timely, high-quality outcomes.
- Monitor, prioritize, and advocate for escalated JIRA issues (including those originating from Customer Care and TIS), ensuring that low and medium-priority tasks do not stall and are reprioritized based on customer need and urgency.
- Coordinate communications on crucial support cases internally, ensuring TIS and other stakeholders are kept informed of the status and next steps, but remain the front-facing contacts for the customer.
- Continuously improve and refine internal processes, helping to streamline escalations and reduce friction, ultimately increasing customer satisfaction and reducing time-to-value.
- Maintain deep knowledge of the product ecosystem—including rostering methods, data integrations, and application functionality—to effectively diagnose, troubleshoot, and guide the resolution of escalated issues.
- Partner closely with internal teams (Support, Product, Development, QA) to ensure all escalated cases are well-documented, tracked, and resolved efficiently.
- Provides technical support to customers via phone, chat, email, video conferencing, and other channels
- Expert in latest hardware, software, and networking technologies
Minimum Requirements:
- Minimum 5+ years’ experience in technical customer support in a client-facing role
- Experience with modern web and app development technologies, and a thorough understanding of the software development lifecycle
- Bachelor’s degree preferred, with Education or EdTech experience a plus.
- Ability to travel occasionally for team meetings or onsite discovery, though most work will be performed remotely and internally.
- Strong troubleshooting skills and knowledge of SQL and database concepts.
- Understanding of EdTech rostering methods (e.g., Clever, ClassLink) and familiarity with SaaS architecture, web browsers, networking principles, and hardware device support.
- Adaptability in a fast-paced environment, with a proven ability to quickly learn new product features and technical nuances.
- Excellent internal communication and collaboration skills, ensuring clear handoffs, timely updates, and a high level of follow-through.
- Empathy and customer focus, balancing internal technical considerations with the urgency and importance of customer needs—even though the customer-facing relationship remains managed by Technical Implementation.
- Self-directed and proactive approach, capable of independently driving escalations to resolution.
- Familiarity with ticketing and CRM tools (preferably Zendesk) and experience working within Agile or similar development methodologies.
