About Kota
Kota is reimagining insurance and retirement benefits for the modern workforce. Through our two flagship products - Kota Platform,
the first fully integrated benefits platform, and Kota Embed, our embedded insurance solution - we're making benefits more
accessible, valued, and global.
Today, we power benefits for tens of thousands of employees at Europe's most forward-thinking companies, including Lovable,
Linear, Carwow, Tines, and Zoe. Founded in 2022, we've raised more than €20M from leading investors like EQT Ventures, Eurazeo,
Northzone, and Frontline, along with founders and executives from Workday, Personio, OpenAI, and more.
The Role
We are looking for our first dedicated Technical Support Engineer to own the operational health of Kota's embedded integrations.
As we grow, we want a specialist who sits at the intersection of product and engineering, as well as customer support. The person
will ensure our partners always have a fast, knowledgeable point of contact and that integration issues are resolved with
precision.
This is not a traditional helpdesk role. You will be a technical first responder: someone who can navigate our codebase, query our
databases, reproduce bugs, and identify root causes, proposing fixes or implementing safe, scoped changes where appropriate -
while also serving as the clearest, most responsive face our partners interact with when things go wrong. You sit at the
intersection of engineering and operations, reporting into the General Manager and working hand-in-hand with our engineering team.
What You'll Do

matter.
Who Thrives in This Role
The best people in this type of role are calm under pressure, relentlessly curious about why things break, and genuinely energised
by helping partners succeed. You should be comfortable with ambiguity - not every issue will have a playbook, and you will often
need to piece together root causes from incomplete information.
You take ownership of resolving problems end-to-end, and make good judgments about when to resolve directly vs escalate with
strong context, but you know when a problem is bigger than you and you escalate it with full context rather than vague
descriptions. You think in systems: when you fix something, you think about how to prevent the same class of problem from
recurring.
How Youʼll Be Measured
