About the Role

We are building a new engineering-led production support function, and as a Software Engineer, Production Support, you will operate at the intersection of support, product, and engineering. Your primary focus will be to debug complex product issues, ship fixes, and improve overall system reliability — serving as the technical escalation layer that helps our support team resolve issues quickly and eliminate them at the root.

  • Work across the stack to understand system behavior

Ship Fixes & Improvements

  • Improve reliability and reduce repeat issues

  • Contribute incremental product improvements

Support the Support Team

  • Provide clear guidance and unblock issues quickly

  • Help improve debugging workflows and internal playbooks

Contribute to Customer Feedback Execution

  • Translate structured customer feedback into actionable technical issues

  • Provide T-shirt sizing (S / M / L) from an engineering perspective

  • Identify small, high-impact fixes that can be shipped quickly

  • Help close the loop on resolved issues

Drive Systemic Improvements

  • Identify recurring issues and eliminate them

  • Improve logging, observability, and debugging processes

  • Build lightweight tooling or scripts to improve efficiency

What You Are:

  • 2+ years of experience in Software Engineering, Developer Support / DevEx, Solutions Engineering, or Technical Product Support ideally for a B2B SaaS platform.

  • Familiarity with modern web technologies such as TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, GraphQL.

  • Experience working with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL), including: understanding data models, writing/debugging SQL queries, investigating data inconsistencies.

  • Comfortable reading and navigating production codebases.

  • Experience debugging across: browser dev tools, APIs and network requests, frontend UI/state issues, backend data flows and database interactions.

  • Effective communication with an ability to code-switch between technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Experience shipping code (PRs, fixes, and small features).

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
