-
Debug, reproduce, and resolve advanced issues (APIs, model behavior, latency, fine-tuning, infrastructure).
-
Bridge the gap between customers, engineering, and product teams to drive regional success.
-
Shape support processes tailored to APAC’s unique needs (time zones, languages, use cases).
This role reports to the Lead Customer Support and requires autonomy, technical depth, and a proactive mindset to scale support in a high-volume, high-stakes environment.

Investigate and resolve complex, escalated issues (e.g., API failures, model hallucinations, latency spikes, fine-tuning misbehaviors, infrastructure bottlenecks).
-
Reproduce and debug customer issues, including code-level analysis (Python, API calls, logs).
-
Own the full lifecycle of critical tickets: triage, root-cause analysis, resolution, and post-mortem.
🚀 APAC Regional Ownership:
-
Serve as the primary technical contact for APAC customers, including enterprise accounts.
-
Prioritize and manage high-volume support requests during APAC business hours (SGT, UTC+8).
-
Advocate for APAC needs in product/engineering discussions (e.g., regional infrastructure, localization).
📚 Knowledge & Scalability:
-
Create and maintain advanced technical documentation (runbooks, debugging guides, API best practices).
-
Train and mentor future APAC hires as the team grows.
-
Automate repetitive tasks (scripts, tools) to improve efficiency.
🤝 Cross-Functional Collaboration:
-
Work closely with Engineering, Product, and Solutions teams to escalate, track, and resolve deep technical issues.
-
Translate customer pain points into actionable feedback for roadmaps.
-
Assist Sales/Pre-Sales with technical deep dives for APAC prospects.
📊 Proactive Improvement:
- Identify recurring issues and drive permanent fixes (e.g., docs, product changes, or tooling)
- Monitor and alert on regional service health (latency, errors, outages).
Who you are
✅ Required:
-
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).

-
Deep understanding of:
