About EVA

EVA acquires enterprise software companies and transforms them into AI-native, profitable, scalable businesses. We are a private equity firm, not a traditional holding company, and the transformation work is what sets us apart. We have acquired two companies to date and are expanding across geographies and portfolio companies.

EVA is global and remote-first. Every EVA employee has access to Claude as a standard working tool, including in how we hire. People who do well here move fast, take ownership without waiting to be told what to do next, and show leadership without needing the title.

About the role

Own customer tickets end to end across EVA's portfolio of acquired SaaS products: triage, investigate, resolve, and escalate to engineering with the evidence already written up. Remote, contract, covering US business hours.

This is not a script-reading role. It needs genuine curiosity about how software works, the ability to reproduce and diagnose issues in cloud-hosted environments, and the communication skills to turn technical findings into clear, reassuring updates for customers.

How we work

These seven values describe how we work. They matter as much as your skills, and we test for them in the final conversation.

• Ambition: aim to resolve at first touch, and don't settle for meeting the SLA when the customer's problem could be closed faster or prevented.
• Speed: acknowledge and prioritize every ticket within SLA, and push open cases forward without being asked.
• Courage: make the call in a high-severity incident, push back on AI output you don't trust, and challenge engineering with evidence.
• Simplicity: write plain customer updates and step-by-step runbooks, and remove manual steps instead of adding process.
• Transparency: tell the customer and the team early when something is broken or you got it wrong.
• Ingenuity: build a workaround when no fix exists, and use AI first before you escalate.
• Humility: say when you don't understand something, and know when to trust AI and when to take over.

Responsibilities

• Own the support queue: acknowledge, categorise and prioritise every ticket within SLA
• Resolve complex issues end to end, including configuration failures, integration breakdowns, data inconsistencies and environment-specific faults
• Reproduce customer-reported issues in staging or sandbox environments to confirm behaviour and gather evidence
• Trace problems to the root through logs, SQL queries and system behaviour before drawing conclusions, and fix what you can directly (data corrections, configuration changes, targeted fixes)
• Use AI as your first call on every investigation to surface patterns and generate hypotheses, then direct it, validate it and close the case
• Diagnose failures between EVA products and connected third-party systems, such as data sync issues, file exchange errors and API misbehaviour
• Where no direct fix exists, build a workaround or alternative workflow that keeps the customer operational while the underlying issue is driven to resolution
• Write customer updates that are clear, set expectations and confirm resolution, good enough to become a template
• Escalate to engineering with a summary that is concise, evidence-backed (environment, configuration state, data conditions, exact reproduction path) and actionable without a follow-up question
• Drive every open case forward without being asked, across customers, internal teams and engineering
• Write a clear resolution statement for every resolved issue, precise enough that anyone could follow it; these feed AI-generated knowledge base articles
• Author and maintain troubleshooting runbooks for recurring issues, and flag documentation gaps to product and engineering
• Surface recurring issue patterns to engineering, propose ways to automate or remove repetitive ticket types and manual steps, and take part in post-incident reviews

Requirements

• 6+ years in a technical support or customer success engineering role, in a SaaS environment
• Strong written communication: resolution statements, customer updates and escalation notes that anyone can act on without interpretation
• Experience working in AI-augmented support environments, with AI tooling part of your daily workflow
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills: you break down complex issues methodically and find root causes without over-complicating the path
• A proven record handling escalations and high-severity incidents, calm under pressure, decisive in triage and clear in communication
• Solid understanding of REST/SOAP APIs: you can read request and response payloads, trace integration failures and diagnose API behaviour without guidance
• Hands-on SQL for data validation, investigating inconsistencies and debugging across relational databases
• Comfortable reading .NET/ASP.NET and React code, enough to understand application behaviour and talk to engineering
• Log analysis across cloud-hosted environments: spotting anomalies, tracing error origins and extracting diagnostics independently
• An eye for patterns and automation opportunities
• Experience with a ticketing system (Zendesk, Jira Service Management, Freshdesk or equivalent)
• Ability to follow and author troubleshooting runbooks without ambiguity
• Highly organised, able to manage competing priorities across a live queue without losing pace or quality
• A collaborative mindset across support, engineering and product teams in a remote-first environment
• Able to cover US business hours

Nice to have

• Big plus: familiarity with US higher education financial aid processes, such as Title IV compliance, FAFSA/ISIR processing, packaging and disbursement, or R2T4
• Experience supporting SaaS products that integrate with Student Information Systems (for example Ellucian Banner or Colleague) or federal education systems
• Exposure to EdTech or regulated-industry SaaS where compliance and audit trails are central
• Experience supporting multi-product or multi-tenant SaaS platforms
• Understanding of how cloud-hosted SaaS applications are structured and operated
• Familiarity with observability tooling such as Grafana or Datadog
• Prior involvement in knowledge base or runbook development
• Experience with SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services): reading package logic, troubleshooting failed jobs and tracing data load or import issues
• Working knowledge of HTML: understanding page structure and spotting rendering or markup issues during front-end troubleshooting

Contract and compensation

Employment type: contract, remote. Coverage of US business hours is required.

The hourly rate is agreed during the process, based on experience, location and interview performance.

Hiring process

• Step 1: an online assessment on TestGorilla.
• Step 2: first interview with the panel.
• Step 3: second interview with the panel.
• Step 4: a final cultural fit conversation, based on the values above.

A note on applying

Please don't rewrite your CV to sound like a perfect match for this role. Apply as you are. If this specific role isn't the right fit, we may still consider you for one that is, but only if we can see your actual background clearly.

• What you build ships again at the next company we buy
• Learn from a team that has acquired nearly 50 software companies over the past 25 years
