Business Systems Engineer III (Support)

As a Business Systems Engineer III, you will be the technical cornerstone of our Front application, ensuring a seamless experience for a global user base. This is a high-impact, tactical role designed for a hands-on-the-keyboard engineer who takes pride in the daily performance and reliability of mission-critical systems.

We are looking for a seasoned professional who can operate with a high degree of independence. You won’t just follow a manual; you will use your technical expertise to diagnose complex issues, optimize configurations, and ensure our communication ecosystem scales with the business. While your primary focus is the stability and maintenance of Front, you will also act as a strategic partner to our Program Management team, helping to bridge the gap between business needs and technical automation.

What We Expect from You

• Technical Ownership: You take full responsibility for the health of the application—from routine system checks and performance monitoring to resolving deep-tier technical incidents.
• Proactive Problem Solving: You don’t wait for a ticket to break; you proactively identify workflow bottlenecks and implement configuration changes that improve efficiency for the entire organization.
• Autonomy & Judgment: You are comfortable working with minimal daily supervision, using your experience to determine the best methods and procedures for resolving diverse and complex challenges.
• Collaborative Spirit: While you are an independent operator, you are a team player at heart. You will provide cross-functional support for our Zendesk environment and consult on process improvements that drive the business forward.
• Empowerment through Support: You enjoy being the "go-to" expert, providing advanced support and training that empowers our users to get the most out of the platform.

Primary Responsibilities: Front Application Management

• Configuration & Maintenance: Manage complex application configuration changes and perform routine system checks, workflow monitoring, and performance audits.
• Incident Resolution: Independently diagnose and resolve technical issues, ranging from user-facing bugs to failing scripts or integrations.
• User Support & Training: Serve as the primary point of contact for the Front user base, providing advanced troubleshooting and developing training resources to improve user proficiency.
• Data Management: Assist with data entry and management updates within the system to ensure data integrity.
• Cross-Functional Coverage: Provide backup support and staffing coverage for the Zendesk BSA team as needed.

Secondary Responsibilities: Program Management Support

• Integration & Automation: Support the Program Manager in planning and managing integrations; identify and implement process improvements and automations using Python or other scripting tools.
• Business Alignment: Consult with internal stakeholders to align Front’s functionality with evolving business needs.

The successful candidate must demonstrate:

• Thinks Ahead: Actively seeks opportunities to improve processes and efficiency while independently selecting methods for solutions on projects with diverse scope.
• Gets it Done: Demonstrates strong competence and a high commitment to delivering results with very little daily supervision.
• Thrives in Change: Models agile thinking by swiftly adapting to shifting priorities and turns challenges into opportunities for growth.
• Collaborates: Demonstrates a willingness to help others succeed by actively contributing ideas and resolving conflicts in a respectful, solution-oriented manner.

• Technical Skills: Intermediate knowledge of SQL, Python, or Automation and Scripting Skills.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in a technical support role, preferably supporting enterprise applications.
• Customer Service: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a strong focus on customer satisfaction.
• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical abilities to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues efficiently.
• Organizational Skills: Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and prioritize effectively.
• Team Player: Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

• Certifications: Certifications in any of the supported applications (e.g., Salesforce Certified Administrator, Zendesk Support Administrator).
• Application Development Experience: Front, Zendesk, Salesforce, McLeod, etc.
• Industry Experience: Experience in the logistics, freight, or transportation industry
