Product Support Engineer
At Frends iPaaS, we're not just another vendor. We're a Nordic-founded integration platform on a mission to make integrations fast, easy, and transparent. Recognized for the 4th consecutive year in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ and winning G2 awards, including "Fastest Time to Value" and "Easiest to Use," we're proving that you don't need Silicon Valley size to deliver world-class technology. Our customers give us 4.7 out of 5 stars on Gartner Peer Insights.
The role
As a Product Support Engineer at Frends, you will be a key part of our AI-first support strategy. You will act as the technical escalation point for our AI first-line (Botpress) and provide senior-level assistance to our customers and internal stakeholders. You will own incidents and service requests end-to-end — from first triage to resolution — across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises (including airgapped) Frends deployments.
Our customers operate Frends in environments ranging from fully managed SaaS tenants to highly regulated, fully airgapped on-premise installations. You will be the person who can diagnose an agent runtime issue one hour, walk a customer through an HA on-prem installation the next, and coordinate with R&D on a confirmed product defect after lunch.
What you will do:
Own and resolve incidents, service requests, and customer questions within agreed SLAs.
Diagnose issues across the full Frends stack: Control Panel UI, agents (Windows & Linux, cloud & on-prem), API Management, Business Automation Portal (BAP), Platform API, and the underlying SQL configuration store.
Support customers through Frends version upgrades and post-upgrade troubleshooting.
Assist with on-premise and airgapped installations, including HA architecture reviews, SQL setup, load balancer configuration, and identity provider integration (OIDC/ADFS/Entra ID).
Coordinate with Frends Platform Operations (FPO), R&D, and Customer Success Managers on cross-team issues.
Communicate clearly and professionally with customers in long-running, multi-stakeholder ticket and email threads.
Identify recurring issues and feed them back into product improvement via the Continuous Learning Feedback Loop.
Support the refinement of our AI First-Line (Botpress) by documenting resolutions and identifying gaps in the AI's knowledge base.
Collaborate with the Documentation Product Manager to ensure public and internal docs are current and comprehensive.
Deliver 1st-level support for Disaster Recovery (DR) scenarios and participate in architectural optimization discussions.
What you bring:

You have led or supported at least one on-premise agent installation or architecture review with a customer.
