Arist is an enterprise platform transforming how the world’s largest organizations deliver training and enablement — all through conversational, AI-powered learning experiences. Fortune 500 companies like HP, Pfizer, Novartis, and Intuit use Arist to drive measurable behavior change in minutes, not months.
We’re looking for a
Support Engineer to be the bridge between our customer-facing teams and our engineering organization. You’ll triage incoming issues, diagnose complex problems, and help ensure Arist’s platform runs smoothly for our enterprise customers around the world.
This is a highly cross-functional role — perfect for someone who loves understanding how systems fit together, thrives on solving puzzles, and takes pride in uncovering the “why” behind every issue.
What You’ll Do
- Own technical triage: Investigate, reproduce, and diagnose issues escalated from customer support, working closely with engineering to identify root causes and resolutions.
- Be the first line of technical defense: Separate product questions from genuine bugs, gather the right context and logs, and ensure tickets are well-documented for efficient engineering follow-up. You'll learn to distinguish signal from noise — knowing which errors are routine and which reveal something new.
- Understand the full system: Develop a deep understanding of Arist’s architecture — from Rails backend services to integrations, APIs, and data flows — so you can quickly trace issues across components. You'll build mental maps of how systems interact and where issues are most likely to surface.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Act as the connective tissue between support, product, and engineering teams — ensuring clarity, speed, and high-quality resolutions. Stay attuned to customer launches, product changes, and business priorities to assess severity accurately.
- Continuously improve: Identify recurring issues, document troubleshooting guides, and help drive fixes that prevent future incidents.
- Level up monitoring & tooling: Contribute to scripts, dashboards, and automation that improve visibility, reliability, and support efficiency.

You Bring
- 3–6 years of experience in a technical support, or application engineering role, ideally in a SaaS or enterprise environment.

- Excellent communication skills — you can clearly explain complex issues to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- A genuine curiosity about how things work — you dig for answers yourself, connect dots across systems, and build context over time. You know when to ask questions and when to investigate on your own.
- A passion for learning how things work and continuously expanding your technical toolkit.
- A proactive mindset and bias for ownership — you take pride in closing the loop, not just escalating it.
