Technical Support Manager
Theta Data • Remote • Mid-Level
Theta Data is a pioneering data company specializing in low-latency APIs for delivering high-speed options and stocks data. Our mission is to empower users with real-time, actionable information to make well-informed decisions in dynamic financial markets. With a focus on speed and broad data coverage, Theta Data stands at the forefront of the options data industry by providing essential tools and insights. We are dedicated to equipping professionals with the resources needed to excel in a competitive landscape.
We’re a small, nimble team growing quickly. Our platform handles billions of database requests daily, and we’re just getting started. The complexity of our data problems is real: tick-level options data is among the most intricate financial data to store, index, and serve at scale. We take engineering seriously.
We're hiring a Manager of Technical Support to lead our customer-facing support function and personally own relationships with our most important commercial accounts. This is a dual-track leadership role: you will manage and develop a team of Technical Support Engineers while also serving as the senior point of contact for key commercial clients.
Our customers are quantitative researchers, developers, and traders who ask technically sophisticated questions about financial data, APIs, and data integrity. You need to be technical enough to set the standard for your team, review and improve their work, and step in on the hardest problems, while also being the trusted partner that commercial clients call when it matters most.
You will be responsible for the quality and consistency of the support experience across all customers, the career growth of your engineers, and the health of Theta Data's commercial client base. We believe the most important feature is the one the customer already paid for. We want a leader who will hold the team to that promise, and model it personally.
