• Advanced Troubleshooting and Root-Cause Analysis

• Escalation Management and Cross-Team Coordination

• API, SDK, and Integration Support

• Enterprise Implementation Support

• Assist third-party developers integrating Zello SDKs and APIs.

• Help customers design robust solutions using Zello technology.

• Assist with implementation of MDM solutions and SSO for enterprise customers.

Escalation & Collaboration

• Ensure accurate, complete escalation documentation and follow-up until resolution.

• Aid in relationship management by acting as key technical resource for ongoing Enterprise and Partnership communications.

• Mentor Product Advocates in advanced troubleshooting and technical concepts.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify recurring issues and propose fixes or automation tools.

• Contribute to internal knowledge bases and troubleshooting guides.

• Proficiency in reading and interpreting logs, JSON, and basic scripting.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Customer-first mindset with attention to clarity and accuracy.

Support Engineers can advance into roles such as:

• Senior Support Engineer (L3) – Expert in Zello’s full product ecosystem, mentor and process owner.

• Solutions Engineer – Supporting pre-sales and custom integrations.

• Software Engineer – Transitioning into Engineering for those contributing to code-level debugging and automation.

We hire for potential, passion for our mission, and a knack for solving difficult problems over checking every qualification box. We have competitive pay, equity with significant upside, and intentionally design our benefits to encourage healthy and well-balanced employees, flexible schedules and time off. We even offer a sabbatical after every five years of service so you’re able to pursue and enjoy what matters most to you. And of course, we wouldn’t be a technology company without a ping-pong table and free snacks in our break room. Join us!
