MerchantSpring is a SaaS analytics and reporting company that helps agencies, investors, brands, and vendors manage and scale their performance across a wide range of e-commerce and marketplace channels. We provide a single source of truth for marketplace reporting and help our clients drive growth through data, automation, insights, and expert client support.
As a Technical Support Specialist, you will serve as the bridge between Client Success and Engineering, owning the investigation and management of complex technical issues, data discrepancies, integrations, and platform-related concerns.
You will work closely with frontline Client Success Agents, Relationship Managers, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure issues are accurately diagnosed, properly documented, and efficiently resolved. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys diving deep into platform behavior, connecting technical details to business outcomes, and serving as a trusted point of escalation for advanced support needs.
This role is not a software engineering position but requires strong technical troubleshooting, analytical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities. Your success will be measured by your ability to improve escalation quality, reduce investigation times, increase first-time resolution accuracy, and improve the overall technical support experience for clients.
