When a customer issue needs real solutioning — not a canned answer — you're the one who steps in: diagnosing the root cause, finding the right fix even if it's not the obvious one, and driving it to resolution, whether that means writing a doc, filing a bug, or flagging a product gap. You'll also turn that same instinct inward, building internal tools and AI-powered workflows that make the team faster.   What you’ll do - Triage and investigate bugs alongside Engineering — write coherent steps to reproduce, identify workarounds, and keep stakeholders updated - Identify patterns across customers and translate them into crisp product feedback - Pick up the phone when a situation calls for it - Write the documentation and guides that scale the team's knowledge - Build internal apps and tools using AI to speed up internal processes and workflows What we're looking for Customer communication - You own customer relationships, not just responses — comfortable, clear, and personable across email, chat, and phone - High energy and genuinely enjoy people — customers come away from a conversation with you feeling better than when it started - Detail-oriented in practice — you track open items, follow through, and close loops Problem solving - Sharp pattern recognition: you notice when three customers hit the same wall and know whether it's a docs problem, a UX problem, or a product gap - Creative solutioning when a problem needs it, disciplined enough to know when it doesn't - Resourceful with tools — you'll find or build a way to solve a problem rather than wait for someone else to Technical aptitude - Technical enough to investigate an integration issue, understand SQL/data, or wire together an automation without pulling in engineering - You use AI tools to make yourself meaningfully faster and you're always looking for the next one Qualifications - Bachelor's degree, technical field preferred, or equivalent hands-on experience - 1–4 years in a customer-facing technical role — Solutions Engineer, Technical Account Manager, Support Engineer, or similar - Fintech or ecommerce experience is a plus; at minimum, a genuine interest in business or personal finances You'll thrive at Highbeam if... - You love working in-person with a high-performing team - You enjoy working in an idea-meritocratic, low-ego environment - You are proactive and self-directed, and you excel in ambiguous, fast moving environments - You care about delivering a polished customer experience - Bonus: You have experience working in fintech, AI or early-stage startups What we offer - Chance to join the founding team of a well-funded startup chasing a huge opportunity - Competitive salary and meaningful equity - Great location: Our NYC office is in NoHo, a short walk from the A,C,E · B,D,F,M · N,Q,R,W · 1 · 6 trains. Our Toronto office is downtown near St. Andrew Station. - Generous PTO - Comprehensive health & benefits package - Stipends for lunch, commute, wellness, and purchasing customer products - Yearly offsite—last year we went to Mexico City!
