- Reproduce issues in test environments and gather logs, payloads, and diagnostic data
- Clearly distinguish between:
- Usage or implementation issues
- Defects or regressions
- Partner-specific issues (e.g., third-party extensions)
- Escalate confirmed defects to Engineering with complete reproduction steps, impact assessment, and supporting evidence
Partner Developer Support
- Support technology partners and developers building Panel SDK extensions or API-driven integrations
- Help partners navigate integration patterns, limitations, and best practices
- Route issues appropriately when responsibility lies with third-party partners
Documentation Knowledge Management
- Contribute to API documentation, troubleshooting guides, and developer knowledge base articles
- Identify documentation gaps that drive repeat support cases
- Partner with Engineering and Product to ensure documentation reflects real-world usage and support learnings
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Engineering, Product, and Partner teams to provide feedback on API usability and recurring issues
- Help protect Engineering capacity by ensuring only validated, well-scoped issues are escalated
- Participate in incident response and post-incident reviews when API issues impact customers or partners
Required Qualifications
- Strong experience supporting or working with APIs in a customer-facing or technical support capacity
- Hands-on experience with REST APIs, JSON, HTTP methods, authentication (OAuth, tokens, etc.)
- Ability to read and reason about code (JavaScript, Python, or similar), even if not writing production code
- Experience reproducing technical issues and communicating them clearly to Engineering teams
- Comfort working directly with customers and partners on complex technical problems
- Strong written communication skills for case updates, documentation, and escalation notes
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting SDKs, developer platforms, or extensibility frameworks
- Ability to read and understand C++, C# or C code and understand compiling requirements, even if not writing the code itself
- Familiarity with media, broadcast, or production workflows is a plus
- Familiarity with Avid software and systems is a plus
- Experience working with third-party partners or developer ecosystems
- Prior experience in L2/L3 Support, Support Engineering, or Technical Account Support roles
