TL;DR · Technical Support Engineer

As a Technical Support Engineer within the Customer Service & Support organization, you will serve as a trusted advisor to customers navigating complex technical issues and digital transformation goals. You will own and triage cases for newly launched products where documentation may be limited, requiring you to reconstruct behavior from first principles using logs, traces, and reproduction environments. Your daily work involves independently researching solutions, performing hands-on testing to identify root causes, and creating durable readiness assets like troubleshooting guides and playbooks to support the broader team. You will collaborate with global peers and product groups to resolve issues across various workloads and platforms. The role requires a proactive problem-solving mindset to navigate ambiguity while utilizing technical skills to manage high-visibility cases involving Microsoft products, cloud technologies, and AI integration.

What you'll do

  • Triage and resolve customer cases on newly launched products where documentation and tools may not yet exist.
  • Reproduce reported issues in your own environment to identify root causes before escalating to engineering teams.
  • Research and self-teach new technologies using telemetry, logs, and hands-on testing to close knowledge gaps.
  • Create durable readiness assets such as knowledge-base articles, troubleshooting guides, and triage playbooks for the support team.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to customers by providing clear action plans and managing expectations during complex technical issues.
  • Mentor and brief standard support engineers as products transition from "frontier" status into steady-state support.
  • Provide structured feedback to internal teams to improve the supportability of future product launches.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology (IT), or related field and 1+ year of technical support, consulting, or IT experience.
  • Ability to pass Microsoft Cloud background checks every two years.
  • Must provide a valid passport for citizenship verification due to government contract requirements.
  • Experience with customer service (preferred).
  • Breadth across multiple Microsoft or cloud technologies such as SharePoint, OneDrive, and M365 (preferred).
  • Possession of Microsoft Technology Certifications (preferred).
  • Possession of industry IT-based certifications like CompTIA, CCNA, or ISC2 (preferred).
  • Possession of Microsoft AI certifications (preferred).
