Junior Technical Support Engineer (US market)

About us

Talkie builds AI Agents for healthcare. Our agents handle patient–clinic communication end-to-end - voice calls, web chat, and SMS - so patients get 24/7 access to care and busy practices never miss a conversation. Every month, our AI Agents handle close to a million real patient conversations across the US and Poland. Trusted by primary care, specialty practices, and hospitals.

The Role

We're looking for a Junior Technical Support Engineer to keep our AI Agents connected to the real world - the phone systems, networks, and clinical software our US customers already run. This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the point where our technology meets each clinic's infrastructure.

At the center of the job is telecom integration: getting patient calls to flow cleanly from a clinic's existing phone number into our AI Agent and back out to the right person. In practice that's almost always call forwarding - occasionally SIP trunking - and it means coordinating with clinic staff, their IT people, and external telecom vendors until calls route perfectly. Around that core, you'll also own the support queue and troubleshoot API integrations with clinical systems (EHR) and LLM issues between Talkie and our customers.

This is not a "sit quietly and read documentation" role. You'll be on calls and emails with US clients and vendors, chasing down what's blocking an integration, and closing the loop. Every clinic you bring live is a clinic whose patients can now reach care around the clock - so precision, follow-through, and clear communication matter as much as technical skill.

What You'll Do

• Own telecom integrations for our US clients. For each new clinic, confirm the phone provider (RingCentral, Weave, Dialpad, Vonage, Comcast, Verizon, or an IT/MSP partner), plan how patient calls will be forwarded to Talkie, and drive the setup to completion - either by configuring call forwarding yourself with admin access the client shares, or by coordinating a technical call with the client's IT person or telecom vendor.

• Verify that call routing actually works end-to-end before you close a task - patient number → AI Agent → the right transfer destination (department, on-call, voicemail) - and troubleshoot anything that doesn't.

• Manage, update, and prioritize the support queue and backlog, keeping every ticket moving and nothing falling through the cracks.

• Diagnose and resolve technical issues to restore service, and resolve tickets independently where you can.

• Troubleshoot API integrations with clinical systems (EHR) between Talkie and clinics, working with the right internal team to unblock them.

• Coordinate across Talkie's teams to resolve tickets - organizing the work, keeping communication flowing, and gathering the data others need to help.

• Verify resolutions with the end users who reported the issue, then close the loop and the task.

• Proactively collect client feedback on the problems they run into, and communicate incidents and outages to clients following our established process.

• Improve the support process itself - propose and implement changes based on data and feedback so integrations get faster and smoother over time.

• Handle technical offboarding - data cleanup, deletion, and related work when a contract ends or changes.

What will you achieve with us?

• Bring US clinics live faster and more reliably - every integration you finish means real patients can reach their doctor 24/7.

• Become the person who understands, end-to-end, how a patient call travels from a clinic's phone system into an AI Agent and back - across dozens of different provider setups.

• Turn a support queue into a well-run process, spotting the patterns that let us prevent problems instead of just fixing them.

• Grow into a genuine integrations specialist across telecom and APIs in a regulated, real-world healthcare environment.

Job requirements

This is a young, fast-moving field and a role you can grow into. We care less about years of experience and more about how you think, learn, and work.

Must have

• Technical troubleshooting ability - solid hands-on skills and some experience diagnosing, monitoring, and resolving technical issues, with the patience to work a problem until it's actually fixed.

• Telecom & IVR fundamentals - you understand the basics of telecommunications infrastructure and how IVR / call routing works, and you're eager to go deep on SIP trunking and call forwarding.

• Interest in system integrations via API - you want to grow in this area and are comfortable reasoning about how two systems talk to each other.

• Communication & collaboration - a problem-solving mindset, easy to work with, assertive when needed, and clear in writing and on calls. You translate cleanly between technical and non-technical people.

• Proactivity - you spot problems before you're asked, flag them, and come with a proposed fix. When something's broken, you say so and you act.

• Fast learner, positive attitude - comfortable in a dynamic environment where no two days look the same.

• English - C1+ English, strong written communication. Our clients and their vendors are in the US.

• Shifted hours - This role requires shifted hours to align with the US market: 2pm - 10pm, with a possibility of Friday hours being 12pm - 8pm.

Nice to have

• SIP trunking / call forwarding - hands-on exposure to configuring call routing on platforms like RingCentral, Dialpad, Weave, or similar.

• API integrations - experience working with REST APIs, reading API docs, and debugging integration issues.

• Healthcare background - prior work in healthcare, health-tech, or another regulated industry where accuracy and privacy are non-negotiable.

• Support tooling - experience with ticketing/queue tools (e.g., ClickUp, Jira, Zendesk) and a knack for keeping a backlog tidy.

• Genuine curiosity - you enjoy figuring out how things work and show up with ideas for doing them better.

Your goals in this role

Short term - first 3 months

• Learn how Talkie's call flow works end-to-end - how patient calls are forwarded into our AI Agents and transferred onward - and get comfortable with the most common US phone providers.

• Take ownership of a set of active client telecom integrations and drive them to "calls confirmed working."

• Get up to speed on our tooling and ways of working (ClickUp, internal platforms, our support and escalation process).

• Start resolving support tickets independently, including first API and VPN troubleshooting with guidance from the team.

Longer term - first 12 months

• Own telecom integrations end-to-end across our US onboarding pipeline, from provider identification to verified call routing.

• Become the team's go-to person for call-forwarding setups and the quirks of each major provider.

• Handle API (EHR) integration tickets confidently, escalating only what genuinely needs it.

• Improve the support and integration process itself - spot recurring blockers, propose fixes, and help us onboard clients faster with fewer surprises.

What we offer

• Competitive pay with your choice of employment contract or B2B contract.

• A role with real purpose - we're changing how patients access healthcare in the US and Poland.

• Flexible working arrangements - remote, office, or hybrid.

• Work equipment for both home and office (including a comfy chair).

• Benefits: private medical care, Multisport card, annual offsite, and a training budget.

• A structured onboarding to help you find your feet, plus mentoring and support as you get into the world of AI and conversation design.

• Working with cutting-edge AI technology on a product that's genuinely useful to real people.
