Customer Support Engineer Manager

What You’ll Do

30 Day

• Master the Stack: Deep-dive into the Vapi stack, mastering nuances of sub-500ms latency, tool-calling, and the Vapi CLI.
• Audit Enterprise Operations: Audit the current ticket triage process specifically for enterprise accounts utilizing complex SIP integrations, WebRTC, and custom LLM configurations.
• Partner with Engineering: Build a relationship with the L2 Support team (sitting in Engineering) to ensure a seamless escalation path for our highest-value customers.

60 Day

• Enterprise SLA Excellence: Formalize and strictly enforce Severity SLAs for paying enterprise customers, ensuring P1 blockers receive a 4-hour first touch and P2 issues receive an 8-hour first touch.
• Tier Enforcement: Work with Agent Strategists and Agent Engineers to ensure L1 CSEs are not becoming "ad-hoc FDEs" for lower-tier enterprise accounts, and correctly identify when support requests should be flagged as upsell opportunities.
• Automation: Collaborate with Product to refine automated testing and Eval suites, turning frequent enterprise friction points into platform features.

90 Day

• Team Growth: Own the technical health of the enterprise base and scale the L1 team to handle the increasing volume of complex enterprise deployments.
• Knowledge Leadership: Oversee the publication of "God-tier" technical guides and debugging snippets tailored to complex enterprise integrations.
• Strategic Feedback: Act as the primary bridge between enterprise stakeholders and core engineering, surfacing technical requirements to continuously improve the platform.

Who You Are

• Technically Lethal Leader: 5+ years in high-intensity technical support or solutions roles, with at least 2 years of experience managing technical teams. You are fluent in REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven systems.
• Enterprise Experienced: You have a proven track record of managing support operations for enterprise accounts and strictly adhering to commercial SLAs.
• AI-Native: You understand prompt engineering, structured outputs, and how to optimize them for voice latency.
• Code-Capable: You can still jump into Python or JavaScript to help your team debug an enterprise customer’s middleware or build a reproduction agent.
• Voice Fluent: Experience with SIP, WebRTC, or Twilio is highly preferred—you understand the "plumbing" of a phone call.
• Relentlessly Autonomous: You don't wait for a playbook; you write the one that will scale Vapi to its next 1,000 enterprise customers.
