Technical Success Engineer

The Opportunity

Data privacy has become one of the most strategic challenges facing modern enterprises — sitting at the intersection of AI governance, data operations, and customer trust.

As companies adopt AI at scale, they need new ways to automate privacy and manage risk without slowing innovation.

Data Grail has launched the first agentic privacy platform, and we're entering a pivotal phase of growth as we scale toward the next stage of the business.

As a

Technical Success Engineer , you'll serve as the first line of contact for questions coming through our support queue, investigating bugs, escalating when needed, and staying with each issue until it's resolved.

You'll partner with Customer Success to ensure successful technical implementation for customers, and keep Data Grail's public documentation up to date.

You'll also see firsthand what blocks customers in the product, and you'll partner regularly with Product and Engineering to help shape upcoming features.

Data Grail is an AI-first organization, and you'll use tools like Claude and Claude Code every day to work more efficiently, right alongside the rest of the team.

What You'll Do

• Serve as Data Grail's tier 1 technical support, resolving requests directly and flagging what needs deeper expertise.
• Investigate and reproduce reported bugs, then escalated to Engineering with clear repro steps and context.
• Facilitate the back-and-forth between Engineering and the customer, and close the loop once a fix or workaround ships.
• Partner with Customer Success to ensure successful technical implementation for customers.
• Keep Data Grail's public documentation up to date.
• Identify recurring patterns in support tickets to help improve processes and documentation, enabling customers to self-serve enablement and troubleshooting as much as possible, and helping drive down resolution time and key SLAs.
• Contribute to Data Grail's AI-first workflows, helping build and improve the shared tools, prompts, and processes that help the team move faster.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering, surfacing what's blocking customers in the product and feeding that insight into upcoming features.

What You'll Bring

• Strong technical background from an engineering, technical support, or implementation role.
• Familiarity with at least one programming language, ideally Ruby on Rails, with the ability to write scripts to diagnose issues.
• Ability to reproduce an issue, gather technical context from a non-technical customer, and dig through logs to paint a complete picture for Engineering.
• Strong written communicator, comfortable working directly with customers via email or Zoom, able to translate technical issues into clear guidance for both customers and engineers.
• Comfortable being pulled in multiple directions at once, able to multitask and shift between competing high-priority issues throughout the day.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, asking good questions, and experimenting with new approaches as the support function matures.
• An AI-first mindset: you use tools like Claude and Claude Code daily and contribute to the shared AI workflows and processes that help the whole team move faster.
• A habit of flagging process or tooling improvements when you spot a recurring problem.
• Bonus Points
• Experience with REST APIs and authentication protocols such as SAML and SSO.
• Experience with logging and observability tools such as Datadog or Sentry.
• Familiarity with AWS or cloud infrastructure basics.
• Familiarity with SQL and analytics.

Within 90 Days You'll

• Be fully ramped on Data Grail's product and support workflows, responding to tickets independently.
• Be able to independently handle day-to-day technical support requests, and know when and how to loop in others for the more complex ones.
• Successfully investigate a bug, raise it with Engineering with clear repro steps and close the loop with the customer.
• Make your first contributions to Data Grail's public documentation.

Within 180 Days You'll

• Own front-line technical support end-to-end for all the requests that come your way.
• Contribute regularly to Data Grail's public documentation, both writing new content and reviewing existing pages.
• Be a reliable partner to Customer Success on customer technical implementation.
• Start spotting recurring patterns in tickets and sharing early ideas for improving processes and reducing resolution time.

Within 365 Days You'll

• Be a go-to resource for technical support questions.
• Help drive down resolution time and consistently meet strong SLA targets, including time to first response.
• Take ownership of reducing the volume of issues escalated to Engineering, closing gaps in documentation, tooling, and support-level fixes.
• Stay closely attuned to patterns and pain points across support, proactively raising product gaps as feature requests, and closing documentation gaps yourself rather than just flagging them.
