About this position

About TMO

The Mortgage Office is the most trusted loan management platform in private lending. Founded in 1978, we power the full loan lifecycle for over 1,100 lenders, including private money firms, CDFIs, nonprofits, and government agencies, servicing more than $190 billion in loans.

We're recognized as G2's #1 Loan Servicing Software and Capterra's Best Ease of Use. With offices in Huntington Beach and San Mateo, we're now building the next generation of AI-native lending tools, and hiring a Support Engineer to help lead that work.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a technically skilled Support Engineer to serve as the critical link between our customer-facing support team and our Engineering and Product organizations. This role owns the full lifecycle of complex technical escalations; from front-end triage and backend investigation to defect documentation and custom resolution, ensuring that only thoroughly vetted, well-documented issues reach development. You will be the technical escalation for API, SmartView, and SQL-related issues, build custom SQL and API-based solutions to resolve complex customer problems, and provide hands‑on technical guidance to Tier 1 specialists.

What You’ll Own

• Conduct thorough backend investigations on all escalated issues before they reach Product or Development, including reproduction, root cause analysis, and workaround identification.
• Author detailed bug tickets and track defects through resolution, maintaining clear documentation of reproduction steps, expected behavior, and workarounds.
• Serve as the primary owner of all API, SmartView, and SQL-related support issues, diagnosing and resolving complex technical problems end‑to‑end.
• Develop custom solutions using SQL and internal APIs to resolve complex, customer‑facing issues that fall outside standard support workflows.
• Provide technical guidance to Tier 1 Support Specialists, assisting with complex cases and building team knowledge.
• Rigorously test and reproduce escalated issues to confirm defect behavior, validate fixes, and identify interim workarounds that minimize customer impact.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams by delivering well‑documented, fully triaged defect reports that accelerate resolution and reduce back‑and‑forth.
• Communicate with customers via phone, email, or chat regarding complex or escalated support issues.

What You Bring

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field or equivalent work experience.
• 5+ years of experience in a technical support, support engineering, or software QA role, ideally in B2B SaaS or Fintech.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills; ability to read logs, trace errors, and isolate root causes.
• Working knowledge of APIs, databases (SQL), and software integrations.
• Proficiency with bug tracking and support platforms (e.g., Azure DevOps, HubSpot CRM, or similar).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Ability to operate cross‑functionally, building effective working relationships with Development, Product, and Customer Success teams.

Preferred

• Experience in mortgage, lending, or fintech software.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) or SaaS infrastructure concepts.
• Technical writing skills for producing high‑quality support and developer documentation.
• Microsoft Excel proficiency and comfort with data analysis, formulas, and logical reasoning.
• Experience with loan origination, loan servicing, or private lending workflows.
• Competitive compensation (Base: $80,000 - $90,000) + Bonus
• 401(k) matching
• Wellness programs
• Employee recognition programs
• Team building & on‑site amenities
