Responsibilities:

• Manage and prioritize incoming partner support tickets through Zendesk, ensuring timely responses and resolution

• Review and validate pending transactions against merchant campaign terms and location data, ensuring accuracy and adherence to SLAs
• Investigate transaction discrepancies and partner-submitted audits, applying corrections or manual adjustments when appropriate
• Support issuer partner onboarding and offboarding, including platform configuration, API validation, and access management
• Verify merchant information, maintain accurate merchant records, and support campaign setup and updates through the Kard Portal
• Generate and validate partner reports using Databricks and other internal tools, including impression and end-of-month reporting
• Test new product features and releases, identifying bugs and documenting issues for Engineering and Product teams
• Identify opportunities to improve support workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and maintain documentation to improve team efficiency

Desired Skills:

• 3–6 years of experience in technical support, application support, technical operations, or a similar role
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting REST APIs using Postman or similar tools
• Experience querying databases, particularly MongoDB or other NoSQL databases, to investigate technical issues
• Strong technical problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate issues, identify root causes, and determine appropriate next steps
• Experience managing support tickets through Zendesk, Jira, or similar ticketing systems
• Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple requests while meeting deadlines and SLAs
• Proactive, service-oriented mindset with the ability to work independently and take ownership of issues through resolution

Bonus points:

• Experience supporting APIs, SaaS platforms, fintech products, or payment/transaction systems
