Join the team as Twilio’s next Technical Support Engineer

About the job

This position is needed to support our customers’ use of the Twilio platform, and help customers get the best experience from Twilio’s products. You will function as the voice of Twilio to our customers and partners, and operate as a subject matter expert for Twilio’s APIs and SDKs.

We are looking for our next Staff, Technical Support Engineer to join our global Voice Segment Platform Applications (VSPA) team, who will be dedicated to resolving highly complex customer requests, managing critical escalations, and driving technical process improvements. You will mentor peers and collaborate cross-functionally. Critically, you will leverage advanced troubleshooting expertise—including programming languages, SQL, REST APIs, DevTools, network connectivity (PCAP), and data analytics—to resolve deep technical issues and ensure customer success.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

• Address and deconstruct highly sophisticated customer inquiries across various live and digital support channels. Distill intricate technical concepts into clear communications, balancing professional empathy with the necessary sense of urgency.

• Proactively identify potential customer friction points to mitigate escalations before they arise. Take decisive action to resolve critical issues rapidly while remaining strictly within established SLA parameters.

• Maintain meticulous records of every interaction, ensuring technical artifacts—such as Splunk queries, JIRA tickets, and logs—are thoroughly captured. Demonstrate a commitment to “writing it down” by updating team knowledge bases and internal troubleshooting guides throughout the case lifecycle.

• Harness the power of Twilio’s AI suites and internal automation tools to streamline customer workflows and enhance communication efficiency.

• Empower others through mentorship on case management excellence. Actively contribute to the growth of the team by leading the onboarding of new Twilions and designing structured technical training modules.

• Collaborate and network across functional silos, partnering with Engineering, Product, and Sales—as well as external partner organizations—to architect the solutions our customers require.

• Diagnose systemic operational hurdles and champion innovative process improvements. Exhibit a “Drawing the Owl” mindset by leading technical projects that allow the support organization to operate at a global scale.

Twilio values diverse experiences in other industries, and we encourage everyone who meets the required qualifications to apply. While having “desired” qualifications make for a strong candidate, we encourage applicants with alternative experiences to also apply. If your career is just starting or hasn't followed a traditional path, don't let that stop you from considering Twilio. We are always looking for people who will bring something new to the table!

Required:

• 7+ years of relevant experience with API or enterprise software, including technical troubleshooting experience.

• Intermediate proficiency in programming languages (such as C#, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, Python, or React.js) and REST APIs, including basic experience using REST API tools like Postman.

• Strong networking connectivity knowledge and PCAP analysis, including skills in troubleshooting network connectivity issues, with an understanding of TCP/UDP, and basics of SSL/TLS

• Fluency in English (verbal, comprehension, listening, and writing) with high competency in communicating complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences via phone, chat, or email.

• Strong analytical and decision-making skills, combined with advanced case management, excellent time management, and the ability to de-escalate difficult or complex customer situations in a live environment

• Proficiency in troubleshooting issues using DevTools and a core understanding of SSO/Auth0.

• Understanding of Cloud Technologies (AWS, GCP & Azure) and Serverless platforms (Lambda).

• Availability to work on weekends or holidays as needed.

Desired:
