<p><h4>About Open</h4> <p>Open.cx is the AI-native customer support platform built for enterprises that cannot afford slow, expensive, or mediocre support. We automate over 80% of interactions for companies like MoneyGram, Mollie, TicketSwap, and More.com handling voice, email, and web at massive scale with AI that thinks fast and feels human.</p> <p>We are backed by Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, X by Unifonic. We recently raised $7M+ and are accelerating from a startup into a global scale-up. Our customers replace entire stacks of legacy tools, cut support costs by up to 12×, and deliver dramatically better experiences to their own customers.</p> <p>We are a small, high-output team that ships fast, works directly with customers, and genuinely cares about the product we are building.</p> <h4>The role</h4> <p>We are hiring a Customer Engineer to serve as the direct technical bridge between our enterprise customers and the Open.cx product. This is a hands-on engineering role with heavy customer exposure — not pure support, and not pure internal development.</p> <p>You will respond quickly to customer queries via Slack or video calls, lead onboarding and implementation, debug complex issues including third-party integrations, and ship fixes or enhancements directly in our Node.js + TypeScript codebase. Prompt engineering is a significant part of the role; you will help customers get the most out of our AI agents' capabilities every day.</p> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <li>Primary technical point of contact: respond fast to customer queries, join video calls, and own resolution end-to-end.</li> <li>Lead technical onboarding: guide enterprise customers through setup, configuration, and integration with tools like Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot, and others.</li> <li>Debug & troubleshoot: diagnose and resolve complex issues in live customer environments.</li> <li>Ship code: implement fixes, integration enhancements, and small features directly in the Node.js + TypeScript codebase.</li> <li>Collaborate with product engineering: share customer context, escalate systemic problems, and help prioritise what the team builds next.</li> <li>Develop platform expertise: build deep knowledge of our AI agents and prompt engineering so you can effectively advise customers on optimising their support operations.</li> <li>Document & scale knowledge: document recurring issues, solutions, and integration patterns to strengthen internal knowledge and customer resources.</li> <h4>Requirements</h4> <h4>What we're looking for</h4> <li>2-3+ years of experience. Strong software engineering experience with Node.js and TypeScript; you will be writing and shipping production code.</li> <li>Hands-on experience with AI agents and prompt engineering (Open.cx is AI-native; this is core to the role).</li> <li>Previous customer-facing technical work: onboarding, debugging integrations, or similar in a SaaS environment.</li> <li>Good understanding of (or fast ability to learn) helpdesk APIs: Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot, etc.</li> <li>Excellent English communication: clear writing and confident speaking on video calls with enterprise stakeholders.</li> <li>Ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving startup: speed, customer impact, and getting things done.</li> <li>Able to work with customers across US, EU, MENA, and GCC time zones.</li> <h4>Benefits</h4> <h4>What we offer</h4> <li>YC-backed with real traction: we are in-market, growing, and trusted by enterprise names you know.</li> <li>Outsized career trajectory: early team members grow into leadership as we scale globally.</li> <li>Real ownership: your work will be seen, felt, and talked about company-wide.</li> <li>High-trust team: no politics, no bureaucracy; we move fast and support each other.</li> <li>Competitive compensation: top-of-market salary plus equity and full benefits.</li></p><p></p>

<p><h4>Description<\/h4>\n<p>Aspire Software is looking for an AI engineer to join our team in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.<\/p>\n<h4>About the job<\/h4>\n<h4>How we work with AI<\/h4>\n<p>AI is a teammate, not a magic wand. We expect you to use it daily for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and code review \u2014 and to be honest about its limits. Verify, don't trust blindly.<\/p>\n<p>Velocity matters. This is a one-developer project supporting a real HR team. We ship multiple changes per day and iterate based on direct user feedback. We do not do month-long rewrites.<\/p>\n<p>You own the judgment. Architecture, security, and data-correctness decisions are yours. AI tools accelerate execution; they don't replace thinking about edge cases (a single bad salary record can blow up a $50M number \u2014 ask me how I know).<\/p>\n<p>You'll work directly with the user. No PM, no ticket queue. Conversations happen in Teams or a short weekly sync. Bring context, ask before assuming, push back when needed.<\/p>\n<h4>What you'll do<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Refactor the frontend into a modular, component-based architecture (React \/ Vue \/ Svelte \u2014 your call, with reasoning). Preserve all existing functionality and visual design.<\/li>\n<li>Move data off disk to a real database (Postgres or our existing Supabase) with proper migrations and a query layer.<\/li>\n<li>Harden security. Replace the current token-based auth with proper session management, add MFA for admins, add audit logging for sensitive views, pen-test the upload endpoints.<\/li>\n<li>Set up CI\/CD. GitHub Actions for linting, type-check, automated tests, preview deployments. Today every change goes straight to production.<\/li>\n<li>Add observability. Error tracking (Sentry or similar), basic uptime\/performance monitoring, structured server logs.<\/li>\n<li>Document the data pipeline. From BambooHR weekly export ? CSV upload ? application state. Today this lives in scattered Python and JS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Requirements<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>5+ years full-stack: modern JS\/TS frontend framework, Node.js, Postgres, REST\/JSON APIs.<\/li>\n<li>Strong opinions on incremental refactoring over rewrites. We can't afford a 6-month \"stop the world\" rebuild.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with auth (OAuth\/SSO, RBAC), security best practices, and threat modeling.<\/li>\n<li>DevOps fluency: CI\/CD pipelines, environment management, monitoring\/alerting.<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable with charting libraries (Chart.js, D3, or similar).<\/li>\n<li>AI fluency. Daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) \u2014 comfortable shipping production code with AI in the loop, while exercising independent judgment on architecture and security. Bonus if you've built features that call LLM APIs directly (the existing Roster chatbot and the planned HR-Jira automation agent will benefit).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Nice to have<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>HR or workforce-analytics domain experience.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with Render, Supabase, or BambooHR's API.<\/li>\n<li>Python (for the weekly export pipeline).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Success looks like, after 6 months<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Frontend split into a maintainable codebase with tests.<\/li>\n<li>Page-load and tab-switch times measurably faster (target: <1s for first meaningful paint).<\/li>\n<li>All data persisted in the database with migrations and backups.<\/li>\n<li>Auth, audit, and monitoring in place; no production incidents from missing observability.<\/li>\n<li>Same HR team using it, no regressions, plus a documented runbook for future contributors.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/p><p><\/p>

Make least privilege a default, not an aspiration.</li> <li>Coordinate third-party penetration tests and own the remediation work that comes out of them.</li> <li>Keep Vanta accurate and useful, not a check-the-box exercise.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Internal IT</strong></p> <ul> <li>Own the day-to-day IT experience for the team - laptops, accounts, onboarding, offboarding, MFA, SSO, and the small things that compound into a good or bad working environment.</li> <li>Manage endpoint hygiene - device management, antivirus or EDR, patching, and a sane response to lost or compromised devices.</li> <li>Be the practical point person for vendor management on the IT side - licensing, renewals, and consolidation opportunities.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Working with agentic AI</strong></p> <ul> <li>Embrace and actively use agentic AI tools in your own work - infrastructure changes, pipeline maintenance, incident response, log analysis, and IT operations.</li> <li>Build agentic workflows that automate repetitive DevOps and IT work - alert triage, runbook execution, access provisioning, vulnerability triage, and routine support requests.</li> <li>Partner with the CTO and the broader Manos Group on cross-portfolio AI initiatives, and share what works back into the group.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <p><strong>Experience</strong></p> <ul> <li>5+ years in a hands-on DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering role, with at least 2 years as the senior or lead DevOps person on a meaningful production environment.</li> <li>Direct, hands-on AWS experience across the services in scope - EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS (SQL Server and MySQL), ElastiCache, SQS, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch. Multi-region experience is a plus.</li> <li>Strong Terraform background. You have written and maintained real IaC, not just inherited it.</li> <li>GitHub Actions experience at depth - reusable workflows, matrix builds, environments, OIDC to cloud, and the kind of pipeline design that scales beyond a single team.</li> <li>Practical security background. You have led or materially contributed to PCI DSS, SOC 2, or equivalent remediation work, and you can read a SAST or dependency report and prioritise it sensibly.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Technical range</strong></p> <ul> <li>Fluent in Linux, networking fundamentals, and at least one scripting language used in anger (Python or shell, Node.js or PowerShell a bonus).</li> <li>Container experience - Docker, ECS, image hygiene, and an opinion about base images and patching.</li> <li>Database operations background sufficient to support engineering on MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Redis - backups, restores, performance triage, and migration support.
