Job Description

About the Role

We're looking for an API Support Specialist to join our Integrations team as we scale our payments API platform. You will be a front-line problem solver for our customers and their end-users. This person will manage inbound support tickets — including tickets submitted by clients on behalf of their own end-users — troubleshoot integration and payment issues, and provide clear, timely resolutions. The role requires strong problem-solving instincts, comfort with technical systems, and the ability to translate complex issues into clear solutions for customers.

You'll be the accessible, always-on technical resource for any client on our platform, regardless of account size — the person who makes sure issues get resolved fast and consistently, and who knows exactly when something needs to go to a specialist instead.

What you'll do

  • Own and resolve inbound technical support tickets across our full client base — API errors , integration questions, configuration issues, transaction discrepancies, and similar day-to-day technical problems

  • Meet defined response and resolution SLAs , prioritizing by severity and client impact

  • Triage incoming issues and make clear escalation calls — routing account-specific complexity to the appropriate Technical Account Manager, and any suspected platform-wide or systemic issues to engineering

  • Maintain and grow our internal knowledge base and runbooks, documenting resolutions so recurring issues get solved faster (or become self-serve) over time

  • Monitor ticket trends to spot patterns — flagging when the same issue is showing up across multiple unrelated clients, which often signals a systemic problem worth raising upstream

  • Communicate clearly and professionally with clients' technical teams, translating technical detail into plain, actionable guidance

  • Contribute feedback on recurring pain points to help inform product and documentation improvements

  • Help build the support function itself: as an early team member, you'll shape our macros, escalation paths, SLAs , and internal playbooks rather than just follow existing ones.

What we're looking for

  • 1-3 years' experience in a technical support, API support, or technical customer-facing role, ideally in fintech, payments, or another API-first product

  • Comfort reading API documentation , logs, and error responses, and troubleshooting integration issues methodically

  • Familiarity with REST APIs , webhooks, and common authentication patterns ( API keys , OAuth )

  • Strong written communication — able to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

  • Ability to prioritize under pressure across multiple open tickets with different urgency levels

  • A structured, checklist-minded approach to troubleshooting, paired with good judgment about when a problem is outside your depth and needs to be escalated

  • Comfortable working with basic scripting/tooling to investigate issues ( SQL queries , API testing tools like Postman , log searching) — not required to write production code

Nice to have

  • Prior experience at a payments, fintech, or developer-tools company

  • Experience with support ticketing platforms ( Pylon , Zendesk , Intercom , or similar) and internal monitoring/observability tools

  • Exposure to basic scripting ( Python , JavaScript ) for investigating issues

How success is measured

  • SLA adherence : first response time and time-to-resolution across ticket severity tiers

  • Ticket resolution rate without escalation, balanced against escalation quality (routing the right issues to the right specialist)

  • Client satisfaction on resolved tickets

  • Contribution to knowledge base growth and reduction in repeat/known issues over time

Why this role matters

This role is a critical building block for our Integrations team as we scale. It ensures every client — not just our largest accounts — gets fast, reliable technical support, and it protects our more specialized Technical Account Managers' ability to focus on the proactive, account-specific work that keeps our most important relationships healthy and growing.
