Support Lead

We are hiring a Support Lead

We’re hiring a Support Lead to build the foundation for a world-class support team.

Warp’s support team has two big roles. The first is to provide outstanding support to any user experiencing issues with Warp: free and paid and enterprise users; across GitHub and Discord and email and Slack. The second is to surface user feedback, as both data and stories, to the product and engineering teams: user feedback is a cornerstone of how Warp prioritizes work, and you’ll play a key role in helping us understand that feedback.

The Support Lead will help define and refine how our support team works: our business processes and prioritization among customers and channels; our support tooling and its integrations with other functions at Warp; and the support team culture that ties those together. This is a hands-on role with three components: leading the still-small Support team; defining the tools and process Support uses to work with our users and the rest of Warp; and working hands-on to provide great support to Warp’s users.

This is an opportunity to work on arguably the most important developer tool ever: the terminal. You will get to interface with passionate developers from all walks of life and backgrounds, and help them succeed in using Warp.

As a Support Lead, these are your responsibilities…

As Support Lead, your job will be to make sure that every early user of Warp has an incredible experience interacting with our team whenever they have feedback or issues with the product.

You will work with another Support Engineer to:

  • Root cause issues and provide support

  • Direct users to existing documentation

  • File and sync user issues into our internal tracking system (Linear) 

  • Reproduce bugs and list down test cases for every issue before they make it to engineering

  • Present a summary of top user issues at our team meetings

  • Update users when their issues have been resolved by engineering

  • Automate the feedback collection and response process to be more scalable (e.g. using Front or setting up a user forum)

• Update troubleshooting instructions in our documentation so users can help themselves

• Organize public facing user issues so that issues are

  • Easy for users to find, subscribe to, give repro instructions on

  • Easy for Warp engineers to repro and understand the impact of

The ideal candidate has:

  • Basic knowledge of shells and terminals

  • 1+ years of coding experience, or a BS or MS in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or bootcamp experience

At Warp, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. So if you’re excited about this role, but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in this job description – we encourage you to apply anyways! We are a community of curious learners, and most of us are learning some skills for the first time (like our engineers learning to program Warp in Rust). You might be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
