MerchantSpring Hiring! Full Time Technical Support Engineer in Federal Territory - Ricebowl

We are looking for a sharp and resourceful Support Engineer with 3 - 6 years of experience to join our team in Kuala Lumpur. You will sit at the frontline of our analytics platform investigating customer-reported issues, diagnosing problems across the full stack, and partnering with our engineering team to drive root-cause fixes. This role is ideal for someone with strong analytical and problem-solving skills who enjoys digging through logs, queries, and APIs to understand exactly what is happening and why.

You will handle a wide variety of tickets across the app, from data discrepancies and marketplace integration issues to performance, UI, and reporting questions. You will own each ticket end-to-end: reproduce the issue, identify the root cause, resolve what you can independently, and engage the development team with a clear, well-documented case when escalation is required. The goal isn’t just to close tickets — it’s to ensure each issue is solved once and feeds back into a more reliable product.

• Investigate and resolve customer-reported issues across the platform: frontend, backend, APIs, marketplace integrations, and data pipelines.
• Reproduce reported problems in a controlled environment and identify root causes through application logs, database queries, and Browser DevTools.
• Triage and prioritize incoming tickets based on customer impact, business value, and urgency.
• Act as the bridge to engineering: when escalation is required, hand off reproducible cases with clear context, business impact, and suggested next steps to minimise developer interrupt overhead.
• Collaborate with product, QA, and engineering to drive permanent fixes and reduce recurring issues.
• Maintain and improve internal runbooks, support playbooks, and customer-facing help-centre content.
• Write simple scripts and SQL queries to investigate data issues and automate repetitive support tasks.
• Spot patterns in support data and surface product improvement opportunities to the wider team.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3 - 6 years of experience in a technical support, solutions engineering, or similar customer-facing technical role.
• Experience in NodeJs, Typescript, React, PostgreSQL, MongoDB.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a natural instinct for root-cause investigation.
• Proficient in SQL and comfortable reading AWS Cloudwatch logs to diagnose issues.
• Comfortable working with REST APIs (Postman/cURL) and Browser DevTools (Network and Console tabs).
• Excellent written and verbal communication to explain technical issues clearly to non-technical customers and to engineers.
• Ability to triage, prioritise, and stay calm under pressure across multiple concurrent tickets.
• Ability to leverage AI coding assistants to boost overall productivity.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting B2B SaaS, analytics, or other data-heavy products.
• Familiarity with e-commerce or marketplace platforms (e.g., Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce) and concepts such as orders, products, and categories.
• Power user of AI tools like Claude, Cursor, or similar to accelerate investigation and documentation.

• Build our support function from the ground up: you won’t inherit a playbook, you’ll write it. Define the tooling, processes, SLAs, and standards that will guide the team as we scale.
• A clear path to own and grow the department. Start as the technical anchor for support, and grow into the leader who shapes hiring, structure, and strategy as the team expands with you.
• Create impact role at the intersection of product, customers, and engineering. Your work directly shapes product quality and the customer experience.
• Work with a modern tech stack and cloud-native architecture across a global, fast-moving team.
• Grow technically and professionally, own the customer experience end-to-end and have visible influence on the product roadmap.
