Description
About Gigs
At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.
Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.
Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.
If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.
Things We Care About
We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard.
- Speed. We move and we ship. We set bold deadlines and treat every week like it matters.
- Ownership. If you see something broken, fix it. We don't wait for permission.
- Customer Obsession. Our customers' product is our product.
- Ambiguity. We're building frontier technology in a complex domain. You'll need sound judgement and good instincts to make decisions without complete information.
- First principles. We don't ask how things have been done before. We ask why they were done that way at all.
The Role
As a Technical Support Engineer, you will serve as the technical anchor for our support operations. You exemplify excellence in every response - whether to a business customer or an end-user - intuitively adapting to their distinct perspectives. You do not just close the tickets assigned to you; you take ownership of a healthy queue, ensuring the entire operation runs smoothly.
In this role, you will act as the primary escalation point for complex connectivity challenges that stump our Tier 1 partners. You will navigate the entire technical stack - from debugging API logs to troubleshooting live network connectivity issues for end-users. You will act as a bridge, translating technical root causes into clear solutions for customers while feeding critical insights back to our Product and Engineering teams. You ensure that when a user needs to connect, the Gigs platform delivers.
This role is located in our New York hub.
What You Will Do
- Drive Technical Resolution - Go beyond standard fixes to deconstruct complex provisioning and API failures. You will investigate the "why" behind an error to prevent it from recurring.
- Troubleshoot Connectivity - Serve as the domain expert for network-related incidents. Whether it’s a failed SIM activation or an outage, you will diagnose the issue and guide customers to a resolution.
- Empower Tier 1 Support - Act as the safety net and mentor for our Tier 1 support team. You will unblock them on escalated tickets and provide the technical guidance they need to handle less complex issues independently.
- Translate & Document - You will turn technical findings into accessible documentation and clear customer communication, ensuring knowledge is shared rather than siloed.
- Shape the Platform - You are the customer advocate in the room with Engineering. You will use support data to champion bug fixes and feature improvements that directly enhance the Gigs API and dashboard.
What We Are Looking For
- Technical & Customer Background - You have 2-3 years of experience in a technical role with customer-facing components. We are less concerned with job titles and more interested in your ability to bridge the gap between technology and users.
- Troubleshooting Toolkit - You are comfortable using tools like Postman to debug APIs and have a grasp of core technical concepts (Webhooks, REST, request tracing, etc.) to trace technical process flows.
- Problem-Solving Mindset - You don’t just follow a runbook, you are comfortable investigating ambiguity and finding answers in a fast-changing environment.
- Communication Mastery - You combine strong communication skills with a technical background, allowing you to easily understand our platform and communicate complex concepts to our customers.
- Operational Agility - You take ownership of your queue, prioritizing urgent external requests alongside internal improvement projects without needing constant supervision.
Salary Range: $150000 - $180000 USD
Work At Gigs
At Gigs, we value in-person collaboration. We believe the best ideas, decisions, and relationships are built when teams spend meaningful time together, and our culture is designed around that belief.

You should expect regular time in one of our hubs, as well as occasional travel for team workshops, customer meetings, and Gigs Republic, our bi-annual company off-site. Our offices are designed to feel like home-inspired workspaces, with plants, thoughtful tools, and small, tight-knit teams that make collaboration feel natural, energizing, and effective.

About this role
Gigs is building infrastructure that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products—think of it as Stripe for telecom. As a Technical Support Engineer, you'd be the technical backbone of their support operation, handling the complex escalations that stump first-line teams and diagnosing everything from API failures to live network connectivity issues. You'd own your queue end-to-end, mentor Tier 1 support staff, and translate technical root causes into clear solutions for customers while feeding insights back to Product and Engineering.
This role demands 2–3 years in a technical, customer-facing capacity and comfort with API debugging tools like Postman, REST concepts, and request tracing. You'd need to thrive in ambiguity, communicate complex technical ideas clearly to non-technical users, and take genuine ownership of problems without waiting for direction. The work is in-office in New York, with occasional travel for team events and customer meetings.
The role suits someone who enjoys detective work—digging into the "why" behind failures rather than just closing tickets—and who sees support as a strategic function that shapes the product. You'll earn between $150,000 and $180,000, plus stock options, home office stipends, and learning budget. Gigs is a well-funded, fast-growing company (backed by Ribbit, Google, and Y Combinator) with a culture that values speed, ownership, and tackling hard problems head-on.
