About the role

Our Mission

At Sohar Health, we're not just a company; we're a movement with a passionate, data-driven approach to make healthcare accessible to all. With investors such as Y-Combinator, Kindred Capital, and Rebel Fund, we are a VC-backed market leader in automating front-end Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), empowering healthcare providers. Our API-based healthcare data solutions provide the necessary tools for providers to maximize revenue and improve patient experiences through faster, data-driven insights and streamlined insurance workflows.

Role Summary

We are seeking a Founding Support Engineer to build the foundation for world-class technical support at Sohar Health. In this role, you’ll own the customer experience from the moment they hit a bug to the moment it’s resolved—and everything in between.

This is not a traditional support desk role. You’ll be debugging in Grafana, creating alerts, writing documentation, jumping into customer calls, and working closely with engineering and product to keep our users successful. You’ll transform the reactive into proactive and make “support” a strategic advantage as we scale.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a startup environment, is energized by solving complex customer problems, and wants full ownership over the function they lead.

This role is a remote position, based on the East Coast, US.

Responsibilities

Resolve Customer Issues End-to-End

  • Monitor, triage, and resolve all technical tickets—owning the queue with rapid response times and relentless follow-through. Turn customer pain into learning by documenting issues clearly and shipping improvements.

Lead Incident Response & Postmortems  

  • Act as a key responder during high-severity incidents, coordinating with engineering and communicating internally and externally. Drive follow-up through root cause analysis and retrospectives.

Build and Maintain Runbooks:

  • Document recurring issues, remediation steps. Codify knowledge into accessible, living documentation to support future teammates.

Enable Customer Success

  • Guide customers through technical onboarding, provide white-glove support, and build documentation that empowers users to self-serve. Partner with Sales to ensure technical confidence during the buying process.

Guard the Production Experience

  • Set up and maintain alerting and observability infrastructure (Grafana, logs, Sentry). Act swiftly on alerts, debug complex system behavior, and translate learnings into bugs or code-level improvements.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 3–5 years in technical support, solutions engineering, or backend-heavy customer-facing roles. Bonus if you’ve worked in startups, healthcare, or with API-first products.

  • Technical Fluency: Strong debugging skills, familiarity with logs, metrics dashboards, and REST APIs. You don’t need to be a full-stack engineer, but you should be able to speak the language.

  • Observability & Tooling Familiarity: Hands-on experience configuring or interpreting dashboards in Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch, Sentry, or similar tools.

  • Customer Empathy: You love solving problems for real users and can balance urgency with clarity.

  • Proactive Mindset: You don’t wait for tickets—you look for patterns and fix root causes before customers even know there’s a problem.

  • Ownership Mentality: You operate like a founder. You take responsibility, ask questions, and chase problems to resolution.

We know your time is valuable, and we take hiring seriously — especially for these founding roles. Our process is fast, thoughtful, and designed to give you a clear picture of what it’s like to work at Sohar.

Here’s what it looks like:
