Technical Support Engineer

Atlan is building the missing context layer for data and AI, helping enterprises close the AI value chasm. Today, 95% of AI pilots fail because AI systems don’t understand the context behind data: what it means, how it’s governed, and how it should be used.

Atlan connects to every part of the modern data and AI stack to unify this context into a single, shared layer that both humans and AI agents can rely on.
With Atlan, teams can discover, understand, and trust their data; build and collaborate on a shared body of knowledge; and activate that context across analytics, operations, and AI workflows.Trusted by global enterprises like Mastercard, Workday, General Motors, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, Nasdaq, and Medtronic, we’re backed by world-class investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Meritech, Peak XV, and Salesforce Ventures

Why this role matters 🔗

As a Technical Support Engineer (TSE), you’ll be at the frontlines of this mission: helping customers resolve complex technical challenges, ensuring reliability across connectors and integrations, and shaping how Atlan scales support excellence as we grow.

Whether you’re debugging a data pipeline issue, guiding a customer through an API configuration, or identifying recurring product signals that inform engineering fixes - your work directly contributes to customer success, product quality, and operational scale.

At Atlan, we’re building high-performance, high-ownership teams across every function - and this role is a cornerstone. If you’re a technical problem solver who thrives at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success, this is where you’ll do the best work of your career.

• Strengthen processes by building reusable documentation, playbooks, and automation that scale support quality.

• Champion the customer experience — resolve every issue with speed, clarity, and empathy.

What Makes You a Great Fit 😍

• 6–7+ years of experience in technical support or similar roles within the modern data stack ecosystem.

• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues across APIs, connectors, authentication, and integrations - reducing dependency on Engineering through deep debugging and structured RCA.

• Strong technical expertise in:

  • Kubernetes, containerized networking, and ArgoCD for deployment and service debugging.

  • Cloud platforms: AWS, GCP, Azure.

  • Advanced SQL for performance analysis and data troubleshooting.

  • Java and API-level debugging, front-end troubleshooting, and Linux performance diagnostics.

• Ability to read and interpret complex codebases (any language) and provide meaningful insights to Engineering.

• Hands-on experience with modern data stack tools — Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, dbt, Fivetran — and familiarity with metadata management or data catalog platforms.

Beyond strong technical skills, an ideal candidate brings analytical rigor, empathy, and a builder’s mindset — improving not just issues, but the systems around them.
