• Accurately capture customer feature requests; collaborate with product and engineering stakeholders to define scope and relative priority.
• Assist with technical troubleshooting and escalations of reported issues promptly and persistently.
• Contribute to the Arpio customer base through knowledge-sharing activities such as contributing to internal and external documentation, answering technical Q&A, and helping iterate on best practices.
