Product Support Specialist

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As a Product Support Specialist, you’ll be at the front lines of safely delivering AI to the world, providing high-touch support to the businesses building on Claude. You’ll take the cases that need more than a help article: understanding how a customer has built on our platform (their integrations, their authentication and identity setup, their use of the models) and then investigating, diagnosing, and resolving their most complex technical needs. You’ll partner with engineers to get to the bottom of things, and with account teams to keep the customer’s trust while you do.

What it asks for · 9

• Several years of technical product support experience at a high-growth tech company, including hands-on API debugging, ideally on a tier-two, escalated, or priority support team
• Experience supporting enterprise or strategic accounts: exec-level communication, escalation management, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with account and engineering teams
• Fluency with APIs and technical SaaS products; you read technical docs with ease and can reason about someone else’s architecture from a handful of clues
• Experience troubleshooting SSO, SAML, and OAuth authentication flows
• A demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, reactive situations while hitting core support metrics (CSAT, SLA, and the like)
• Strong user empathy and mastery of the support case lifecycle; you read between the lines, get to the heart of the need, and resolve it fast
• Crisp but kind written communication and a deep care for detail
• Persistence and curiosity: you’re energized by tracking down a bug, and more energized by fixing it for every similar user going forward

• Respond to user support cases with a variety of complexity, from questions from individuals to complex API debugging for large businesses

• Prioritize critically and comfortably adapt to an ever-evolving product landscape
