FAQ

What is the difference between this role and general IT Support?

IT Support usually handles internal staff issues like laptops, network, and accounts. A Technical Support Engineer sits customer-facing and troubleshoots the product itself: bugs, API errors, integration failures, things that touch the codebase or product configuration.

How should we test technical ability in an interview?

Give them a real (anonymized) ticket from your history and ask them to talk through how they would investigate it. Watching someone think through a problem out loud tells you far more than asking them to list programming languages.

Does this role need to know how to code?

Not always. Many technical support engineers never write production code, they read logs, run test scripts, and query databases to find root causes, then hand fixes to engineering. If your product is API-heavy, some scripting ability helps a lot.
