Level 1 – Customer Support Engineer

About the Role

LakeFusion is seeking a Customer Support Engineer (Level 1\) to provide frontline support for our Master Data Management platform, built natively on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. In this role, you will serve as the first point of contact for customers, helping resolve foundational technical issues and ensuring a smooth user experience across the platform.

You will take a hands\-on role in troubleshooting common issues related to data ingestion, pipeline configuration, access, and platform usage, while guiding customers through onboarding tasks such as connecting data sources and configuring basic workflows. This includes managing support tickets, documenting issues, and ensuring timely resolution in line with service expectations.

Working closely with Level 2 support and engineering teams, you will escalate more complex issues with clear context and contribute to improving internal documentation and support processes. You will also help identify recurring issues and provide feedback to enhance overall product reliability and usability.

This is a highly collaborative role suited for someone who thrives in a fast\-paced environment, where problem\-solving, clear communication, and delivering a strong customer experience are central to success.
