Who you are:
We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results! Geotab is seeking a Support Engineer who will serve as a critical bridge between our frontline support teams and software development engineers, resolving complex technical challenges and driving continuous product improvement. In this Level 3 support role, you will root-cause escalated issues, collaborate cross-functionally to ensure fixes are implemented, and keep all stakeholders informed throughout. If you love digging into complex technical problems, working at the intersection of engineering and customer impact, and making a measurable difference on product quality — we would love to hear from you!
What you'll do:
As a Support Engineer, your key area of responsibility will be acting as the Level 3 escalation point between customer-facing support teams and Geotab’s software development engineers — owning complex issues from identification through resolution and closing the loop with all parties. You will be responsible for diagnosing and troubleshooting technical issues across software and hardware platforms, leveraging your skills in SQL and Python or JavaScript to identify root causes and drive solutions. You will maintain detailed records in the ticketing system, manage multiple open issues simultaneously by asking targeted questions to quickly isolate root cause, contribute to technical troubleshooting documentation, and use data analytics to surface trends in support inquiries. You may also provide on-site support to resellers and customers and participate in a rotating on-call schedule when applicable.
To be successful in this role, you will be an adaptive, proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-departmental environment. The ideal candidate communicates complex technical concepts clearly to both engineering teams and external stakeholders, and is comfortable operating in Geotab’s flat, entrepreneurial organizational structure where priorities shift quickly and ownership is expected.
How you'll make an impact:
Provide timely and effective technical support to internal and external stakeholders, resolving issues related to software or embedded products
Clearly communicate complex technical information to diverse audiences, including internal and external stakeholders
Employ a proactive approach to troubleshooting by anticipating potential issues and addressing them before they impact stakeholders
Utilize data analytics and tools to identify trends in support inquiries
Monitor applications and systems for performance issues and take proactive measures to ensure stability and reliability
Contribute to the development and maintenance of technical troubleshooting documentation
Collaborate with product development and engineering teams to provide feedback and assist in identifying product improvements
Maintain detailed records of stakeholder interactions, issues, and resolutions in a ticketing system
Effectively manage the issue queue by asking targeted and strategic questions to quickly identify root cause, ensuring all interactions are properly logged, and prioritizing multiple open issues simultaneously
What you'll bring to the role:
Post-Secondary Diploma/Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field
1–3 years of experience in software development or technical support engineering within a software or engineering organization
Proficiency in SQL and at least one of: Python or JavaScript
Proven ability to diagnose and troubleshoot technical issues across both hardware and software platforms
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences
To be eligible, candidates must have continuously resided in the continental United States for at least three years immediately preceding their application. Successful applicants will be required to provide verifiable documentation of continuous lawful residency. Some exceptions apply to US citizens. 
Ability to pass an enhanced background check, including a drug screening test (if applicable) and a credit check.
