Senior backline support engineer with 9+ years resolving complex technical escalations and improving customer service.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Backline Support professional with 9+ years in customer and technical support, focused on troubleshooting complex issues, managing escalations, and improving service quality. I’m known for clear communication and for delivering timely solutions—even under pressure.
In my current role as a Sr. Backline Support Engineer, I resolve complex technical issues using advanced troubleshooting and deep knowledge of Motive’s product architecture. I own critical customer escalations, collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement fixes, and provide feedback to Product and Engineering for feature enhancements. I also deliver detailed root cause analyses and technical consultation reports with long-term solution recommendations.
As a Technical Lead, I served as the primary escalation point for issues unresolved by Tier-1 and Tier-2 teams. I led advanced troubleshooting, minimized service disruption, and developed and maintained Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to improve consistency and efficiency in support processes. I also mentor and train support staff to strengthen technical expertise and enhance team performance.
Earlier, I worked as a Technical Support Specialist across channels like email, chat, and phone (via Zendesk), handling incident management and escalation handling while supporting customers with strong product knowledge. I’ve also led customer support operations—supervising a team of 20, managing targets, conducting performance reviews and training, and supporting SLA compliance and quality assurance—plus experience as a Sales Representative to build lasting customer relationships.
