Built for senior care, Carefeed works seamlessly with EHRs and HRIS platforms to reduce manual work, improve communication, and give staff more time for residents. From admissions to daily care, we connect teams, families, and residents through role-specific tools that make work easier and care more personal.

Responsibilities:
Lead and grow the team
Hire, coach, and develop a team ofclientsupport specialists.
Raise the technical bar — troubleshooting method, log reading, reproduction steps, ticket quality — and hold the team to a consistent operational standard.
Create a culture of ownership and empathy. Our users are caregivers under pressure, and our mission is to give them time back – not bog them down in support!
Own client support and its SLAs
Define and hold the team to KPIs: first response time, time to resolution, first-contact resolution, backlog age, reopen rate, and CSAT.
Own the support workflow end to end inbox workflows, routing, macros, help center content, AI-assisted resolution — and partner with Implementation and Customer Success on clean handoffs into steady-state support.
Build reporting that gives company leadership a clear view of support health, defect trends, and at-risk accounts.
Own escalations and production incidents
Own escalation and incident management end to end: triage, severity classification, customer communication, resolution, and post-incident review.
Bridge support and engineering during production issues. Serve as the senior point of contact for enterprise and multi-facility customers during high-severity incidents.
Scale self-service and internalexpertise
Build andmaintainthe knowledge base, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides so answers scale beyond individual people.
Drive deflection through self-service content, in-product guidance, and automation; push for the observability and admin tooling that lets support resolve issues without an engineering handoff.

7+ years in technical support, support engineering, or customer-facing engineering at a B2B SaaS company, including 3+ years managing a team. \ Proven track record building or scaling a support function — you've defined the SLAs, tiering model, and escalation process, not just inherited them.
Strong technical depth: you can read application and API logs, reason through integration failures, write SQL, and hold your own in a debugging conversation with engineers.
Experience inside or directly alongside an engineering organization — including incident response and on-call — with hands-on use of a support platform (Intercom, Zendesk), an issue tracker (Jira), and a BI tool (Metabase or comparable).
Demonstrated ability to turn support signal into shipped product change, plus the communication range to de-escalate a frustrated executive and write a clear post-incident summary the same afternoon.

Experience working with software systems with large third-party data integrations. Experience working in senior living or healthcaregenerallyisa plus.
Familiarity with senior care EHRs such as PointClickCare or MatrixCare, and with integration patterns (APIs, HL7/FHIR, SFTP feeds).
