Mission - Why the Job Exists

The Customer Support Engineer exists to help customs brokerage customers keep critical U.S. import operations moving by resolving complex application, integration, infrastructure, and ACE/ABI issues quickly and accurately. This role combines deep customs brokerage knowledge with technical troubleshooting expertise to distinguish software defects from configuration, data, connectivity, integration,



or regulatory issues and provide customers with clear, reliable resolutions when shipment clearance and filing deadlines are at risk.

What Success Looks Like & what you'll do:

- Resolve complex customs brokerage support issues accurately and efficiently by identifying whether problems originate in OneView, customer configuration, brokerage data, integrations, infrastructure, VPN connectivity, or CBP/ACE messaging.
- Protect customers from shipment and regulatory disruption by prioritizing production incidents based on filing deadlines, cargo-clearance impact, number of users affected, severity, and availability of a workaround.
- Improve first-time resolution and escalation quality by reproducing issues, gathering complete technical and brokerage evidence, documenting root cause, identifying workarounds, and escalating confirmed defects with actionable context.
- Provide expert support across the full U.S. customs entry lifecycle, including entry preparation, ACE/ABI transmission, cargo release, entry summary, duty payment, rejects, corrections, post-entry activity, PGA requirements, and related brokerage workflows.
- Strengthen customer confidence and adoption by translating technical findings into clear brokerage language for licensed customs brokers, entry writers, compliance teams, importers, and other operational users.




- Reduce recurring support issues by creating and improving diagnostic procedures, support documentation, training materials, and knowledge-base content covering common entry, transmission, integration, and connectivity problems.
- Improve cross-functional problem resolution by working effectively with brokerage specialists, Product, Development, Infrastructure, customers, external providers, and other technical teams on time-sensitive production issues.
- Maintain reliable production support coverage by managing cases according to business and regulatory impact and participating in scheduled after-hours or on-call support when customs clearance or filing deadlines may be affected.

What we are looking for:

- 3+ years of hands-on experience in U.S. customs brokerage operations, customs brokerage software support, or implementation of a Customs House Broker application.
- Robust working knowledge of the complete U.S. customs entry lifecycle, including shipment and document intake, entry preparation, HTS classification, country of origin, customs valuation, ACE/ABI transmission, special tariff programs, cargo release, entry summary, duty payment, rejects, corrections, and post-entry activity.
- Ability to interpret and troubleshoot CBP and ACE/ABI validation errors, rejects, status messages, and incomplete or inconsistent entry data.
- Experience with Partner Government Agency requirements and PGA message-set data. Experience supporting agencies such as FDA, USDA/APHIS, EPA, DOT/NHTSA, FCC, or Fish and Wildlife is an asset.
- Working knowledge of ISF, entry summaries, statements, ACH duty payments, liquidation, reconciliation, protests, Post Summary Corrections, and AD/CVD entries.
