**Responsibilities**
- Own the support queue and work through tickets to drive customers to success
- Diagnose customer issues and solve for the root cause, not just the symptom

- Submit pull requests for bug fixes and improvements where needed
- Act as the technical voice of the customer back to engineering
**What We're Looking For**
- Technical depth and real familiarity with the LiteLLM product surface
- Obsessed with customers and making them successful with the product
- Obsessed with solving root causes rather than patching over problems
- Metrics-driven and hardworking, ready to move through a high volume of tickets
- A strong bias toward understanding problems deeply
**Why Join LiteLLM?**
- Fast-paced growth environment with deep technical ownership.
- Competitive salary, health, dental, and vision benefits, 401k plan with 3.5% match.
