Position Overview

We are seeking a Senior Customer Success Specialist to join our remote team.

Core Responsibilities

As a Senior Customer Success Specialist, you will own the end‑to‑end customer experience, from onboarding to ongoing support. Your day‑to‑day tasks will include:

• Technical Troubleshooting: Utilize telemetry, logs, network inspection, and database queries to diagnose production behavior and provide actionable fixes.

• Pattern Recognition: Identify systemic patterns and product risks, and communicate findings to leadership to inform roadmap decisions.
• Documentation & Runbooks: Create clear, concise documentation and runbooks that reduce repeat incidents and accelerate resolution times.
• Customer Communication: Deliver precise, professional, and empathetic communication to customers, ensuring a positive experience at every touchpoint.
• Continuous Improvement: Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to refine support processes, enhance knowledge bases, and implement best practices.

• AI Systems Proficiency: Comfortable working with AI systems, including large language models (LLMs), agents, and generative models.
• AI Tool Exploration: Experience exploring AI tool behavior—fine‑tuning, prompt chains, chain‑of‑thought debugging, or building agents.
• Model Insight: Ability to understand model outputs, failure modes, hallucinations, and feedback loops, and translate these insights into actionable guidance for customers.
