THE ROLE Engineering Support Team Lead Hands-on lead for a small, high-impact support team

We’re looking for an Engineering Support Team Lead who thinks beyond tickets. You’ll own the partner support engine: turn short-term fixes into lasting systems, keep partners confident, and still get your hands dirty when the hard issues land.

This is not a pure people-manager seat. You’ll lead a small team, stay close to the work, and be the person who stays calm when everything is on fire.

Who You Are

• A take-charge leader who mentors people well and still rolls up their sleeves
• Strong people and soft skills: you listen, coach, set clear expectations, and keep the team aligned under pressure
• Someone who sees the big picture: tickets are symptoms; you look for patterns, root causes, and what will actually reduce pain for partners
• Partner-obsessed: you measure success by partner satisfaction, not just ticket volume
• Tech-comfortable: you can read API docs, fire off Postman requests, query SQL, and debug with the team when needed
• Composed and decisive when services are mission-critical

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Lead, coach, and develop a small global team of Support Engineers (US and Israel)
• Own escalations end to end: drive timely resolution and lock in long-term fixes
• Spot recurring issues and partner with Product, Engineering, and Operations so the same problems stop coming back
• Build internal tools, knowledge bases, and playbooks so the team can work consistently without you in every thread
• Watch the metrics that matter (SLAs, quality, partner satisfaction) and adjust how the team works
• Keep 24/7 coverage ready and stay composed during high-priority incidents
• Work with contact-center partners to raise the bar on service
• Own onboarding, training, and ongoing development so the team gets stronger over time
• Participate in on-call backup roster

Requirements What You Bring to the Table

• Native-level fluency in both English and Hebrew (written and verbal) - Must
• Ability to work US hours — required
• 4+ years as a hands-on Support Engineer — required
• 2+ years leading technical support team — required
• Comfort with APIs, Postman, SQL, and support platforms
• Strong problem-solving with a bias toward process improvement and root-cause work
• Proven ability to influence Product, Engineering, and Operations
• Fintech industry experience — big plus !

With access to full Keren Hishtalmut, private health and dental insurance, monthly wellness reimbursement, volunteering opportunities, and more - you’ll have the support you need to grow and thrive.
