Junior Customer Support Engineer

What do we do?

Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better. 

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 3000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

Our Product teams are made up of an Engineering Manager, a Product Manager and between 4 - 6 engineers, depending on the demands of the team.

This is a technical role, and you will be providing support to developers. As such, you'll need to be very familiar with web technologies and be comfortable building and advising on working solutions that solve problems. This will require some hands-on, coding experience.

• Become an expert on the Paddle Retain and Metrics suite, including the dashboard and APIs.
• Investigate and resolve where possible emergent issues/questions for all existing customers.
• Be responsible for monitoring parts of our system and investigating alerts
• Help our customers by advising them on the best way to integrate our products.
• Analyse the performance of the companies to support Sales and Product in improvements.
• Work closely with our product and engineering teams, helping them to identify, investigate and test fixes for issues and bugs reported by our customers.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Knowledge about Python (Django).

• Web development experience using Javascript.
• Experience using APIs.
• An investigative mindset and like to think out of the box.
• An ability to communicate technical concepts with both technical and non-technical audience
