About brighthush
brighthush is a global leader in identity verification, security, and account protection. With a mission to safeguard digital identities for enterprises worldwide, we empower our customers to build secure, friction‑less experiences. Our remote‑first culture brings together top engineering talent, customer success experts, and product innovators who thrive on intellectual curiosity, collaboration, and a relentless drive to protect the most valuable asset of any organization: its people.
Why This Role Matters
In the fast‑moving world of identity and access management, the difference between a smooth customer journey and a frustrating outage often hinges on a single line of code or a misconfigured webhook. As a Technical Customer Engineer at brighthush, you will be the frontline guardian of our customers’ success. You will translate complex, real‑world problems into elegant, production‑ready solutions, working hand‑in‑hand with our engineering team to keep our platform reliable, secure, and scalable.
Role Overview
We are looking for a proactive, technically‑savvy engineer who loves to dive into logs, debug APIs, and write lightweight scripts that unblock customers in minutes. This is not a ticket‑driven support role; it is a hybrid of customer success, solutions engineering, and software craftsmanship. You will:
- Act as the first technical responder for escalated customer issues that block integrations or deployments.
- Diagnose and resolve complex integration problems, from API payload mismatches to race conditions that only surface under real‑world load.
- Prototype and deliver interim fixes—code snippets, pull requests, or configuration guidance—while collaborating with engineering to ship permanent solutions.
- Bridge the gap between customer and engineering: reproduce issues, isolate root causes, and validate fixes before they reach production.
- Collect structured context, surface recurring pain points, and influence product priorities.
- Recommend best practices for authentication flows, REST APIs, and IAM integrations.
- Improve internal support tooling, runbooks, and documentation based on patterns you observe.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead technical investigations for high‑impact customer escalations.
- Write and maintain scripts in Python, Node.js, or Bash to automate diagnostics.
- Collaborate with engineering leadership to prioritize and ship fixes.
- Document solutions and update knowledge bases to reduce future escalations.
- Advise customers on integration design, security best practices, and performance tuning.
- Participate in on‑call rotations and post‑mortem reviews.
Technical Stack & Tools
We work with a modern, cloud‑native stack that includes:
- Languages: Go, TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Node.js, Bash
- APIs & Protocols: REST, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SSO, Token Exchanges, Webhooks
- Identity Platforms: Okta, Microsoft Entra, Duo, Auth0, Ping, custom IAM stacks
- Cloud & DevOps: AWS, CloudFormation, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines
- Databases & Observability: PostgreSQL, CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus
Essential Qualifications
- 2–5 years of experience in technical support engineering, solutions engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles.
- Proven track record of troubleshooting and resolving complex integration issues.
- Strong debugging skills across APIs, backend services, and authentication workflows.
- Hands‑on experience writing lightweight scripts or tools to diagnose and unblock customers.
- Familiarity with IAM platforms such as Okta, Microsoft Entra, Duo, or similar.
- Excellent communication skills—able to explain technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced, remote environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Go or TypeScript in a production environment.
- Knowledge of modern observability practices and tooling.
- Background in security engineering or compliance (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).
- Previous experience in a SaaS company’s support or engineering team.
- Open‑source contributions or personal projects that demonstrate problem‑solving skills.
What Makes a Successful Candidate
We’re looking for someone who:
- Thrives on solving real customer problems rather than abstract tickets.
- Can navigate console logs, Slack threads, and cURL commands with ease.
- Stays calm under pressure, persists until the root cause is understood, and follows through to resolution.
- Communicates clearly, writes clean code, and documents solutions for future reference.
- Is passionate about security, identity, and the impact of reliable integrations on customer success.
