AM-i is scaling fast, doubling year over year and serving hundreds of dealership locations, across a complex automotive customer base. As that base grows, the quality and efficiency of our support function becomes a direct driver of retention and reputation. This is not a role where you sit in a queue and work through tickets. It is a role where you treat every ticket as a signal and every recurring issue as something that should never happen again. You operate in a fast-moving environment where customers depend on AM-i for daily operations, so speed, clarity, and correctness are critical.
Purpose of the role
As a Support Engineer, you’ll work first and second line, resolving customer issues with speed and clarity.

When a problem is fixed, it’s fixed for good.
This role transforms support from reactive to proactive, improving product quality and customer experience. You’ll report to the Head of Operations and collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Onboarding, raising the bar on quality, tooling, and internal perception of support.
