We are looking for a Senior Application Support Engineering Manager to lead and grow our ASE team. Responsible for handling customer issues across our core operational systems — GPM Stack, Jira, and Smartsheet — and delivering small-scale automations that unblock teams across the company. Tomorrow, the team will expand in size and scope, covering additional platforms, domains, and operational dimensions.

You will be the escalation point, the process owner, the people manager, and the technical authority for support-side engineering.

You will know when to act, when to delegate, and when to escalate — and you will keep a calm, structured posture under pressure. Understand system architectures across GPM Stack, Jira, Smartsheet, and adjacent tools deeply enough to identify flawed designs, anti-patterns, and technical debt that cause recurring incidents; Push back on bad architecture with evidence; partner with engineering to drive structural fixes, not just patches; Be hands-on: build MVPs, prototypes, and automations alongside the team — you code, you review, you ship; Set the technical bar for the ASE team and raise it as the team grows; Lead, coach, and develop a team of Application Support Engineers; Grow the team into new dimensions and domains as the scope expands; Set clear expectations, performance standards, and career development paths; Run 1:1s, team rituals, on-call rotations, and shift coverage; Hire, onboard, and retain strong engineers; manage underperformance decisively; Own the end-to-end customer support experience across GPM Stack, Jira, and Smartsheet; Ensure SLAs, response times, and resolution quality are consistently met; Triage, prioritize, and route incoming issues; personally handle critical escalations; Decide when to act vs.
