This role is responsible for deep technical troubleshooting, investigation, and resolution across the HiddenLayer platform.
The right candidate is comfortable operating with autonomy, taking initiative, and owning issues through resolution.

- Translate technical findings into clear, concise updates for customers
- Contribute to and improve internal runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and external documentation

- Help maintain a customer-first culture through proactive communication and solution ownership
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

- You resolve a high volume of technical issues with increasing autonomy (with minimal hand-holding)
- Internal teams trust your judgment and your ability to escalate effectively
- Documentation and playbooks are stronger because of your contributions
