What?

A regular day in the life of a Technical Account Manager at Twilio would consist of working on the cases raised by specific customer's assigned to you and looking at ways to prevent future occurrences of such issues, while maintaining high customer relationships and helping them be successful using Twilio. 

Some examples include: examining packet capture data and engaging one of our carriers to resolve a one-way audio issue in Germany, providing advice to a customer whose web server is not responding to HTTP requests from Twilio, and calling a customer to discuss the design of a function for transferring calls between agents in a call center. 

As a TAM you will help customers understand the finer points of Twilio capabilities and influence them to implement best practices. 

Use your strong technical and diplomatic skills to address customer issues and provide customer feedback to Twilio’s Product and Engineering teams.

Work with our customers' and partners' developers, architects, and support personnel to resolve complex problems with potentially very costly and far-reaching consequences.

Collaborate with your teammates and the Twilio Product and Engineering teams via Slack as well as filing JIRAs to report reproducible bugs.

Understanding customer trends, analysing patterns, driving betterments and reporting what you observe to the management team in order to better improve our support process is a key part of the role.  

If you are excited about not only teaching others ‘how to fish’ but also how to fish at scale then this role is for you.
