Job Description

The Mission ๐Ÿ’ช

Our mission is to ensure that no one in the world has to suffer from a treatable skin disease because of an access issue ever again.

About Honeydew ๐Ÿ‘‹

Honeydew is building a platform for hundreds of millions of people globally to access expertise and science-backed skin treatments, from prescription to retail. Our tech-forward dermatology experience helps people with chronic skin conditions access licensed specialists, FDA-approved treatment, and ongoing support in record time. Honeydew is the future of skin health โ€” digitally native, scientifically rooted, integrated end-to-end, and powered by AI.

The Opportunity ๐Ÿ“ˆ

When a dashboard incident hits, someone has to answer fast โ€” some of these incidents block care. Today, engineers cover support in rotations that pull a full week away from building. As our Support Engineer, you are the first line of response: you work the incident queue, resolve what you can, and work with engineers on anything that needs to be escalated - providing everything they need. You keep our engineers building and our incidents moving.

What You'll Build (Your First 6 Months) ๐Ÿ› 

  • Ownership of the incident queue: L0 incident handling in Jira Service Management during business hours by day 60, and by day 180 a first response under 30 minutes for care-blocking incidents and under 4 business hours for everything else
  • Fewer engineering escalations: at least 40% of incoming incidents resolved without engineering by day 180, with every escalation arriving with repro steps, impact, and scope
  • A support knowledge base: AI-assisted runbooks for the 10 most common incident types by day 120, and at least 5 recurring patterns brought to engineering with volume and impact data by day 180

How You'll Make an Impact

  • Run the queue. You'll manage the Jira Service Management incident queue, responding quickly and resolving L0 issues yourself.
  • Escalate cleanly. When an issue needs an engineer, you'll hand it off with repro steps, impact, and scope, so engineers rarely have to come back with questions.
  • Build the knowledge base. You'll turn incident volume data into runbooks, using AI to publish them faster, and bring recurring patterns to engineering so root causes get prioritized.
  • Grow into harder problems. Over time, you're expected to resolve more complex issues without escalating.

What We're Looking For

The Non-Negotiables:

  • 2+ years in technical support: helpdesk, application support, or a similar role supporting a web-based product, working incidents from intake to resolution.
  • Experience working a ticket queue: daily use of a tool like Jira Service Management, Zendesk, or ServiceNow, including triaging by severity and meeting response-time targets.
  • Escalating to engineering: a track record of handing issues to engineers with clear reproduction steps, impact, and what has already been ruled out, then following through to resolution.
  • Hands-on troubleshooting: comfortable reproducing issues, reading logs, using browser dev tools, and running basic read-only SQL queries to investigate.

The Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience in healthcare, telehealth, or another HIPAA-regulated environment
  • Experience writing knowledge base articles, runbooks, or troubleshooting guides
  • Familiarity with AWS, especially CloudWatch logs
  • Exposure to pharmacy, e-prescribing, or order fulfillment workflows
  • Basic scripting (Python, bash, or similar) to automate repetitive tasks

You'll Thrive Here Ifโ€ฆ

  • You reply fast and keep replying fast, even when the queue is busy
  • You can pick the incident that matters most when several arrive at once
  • You explain fixes in plain language so people don't have to come back with questions
  • You write things down so the next person can run them
  • You want to take on harder problems over time rather than hand them off

Why Honeydew?

Real Ownership:

You'll own the incident queue and your response times โ€” this isn't a role where accountability disappears into a committee.

Mission-Critical Work:

When an incident blocks care, how fast you respond matters to the people delivering it.

Total Rewards:

Competitive pay, equity, health benefits, and a fully remote role, plus employee perks and recognition programs.
