About Aktos
Aktos is a seed-stage vertical SaaS company building the modern operating system for the debt-collection industry. We help collection agencies modernize operations, payments, and compliance with a focused, engineering-driven product.
The role (TL;DR)
We’re hiring a hands-on
Support Engineer
focused on backend production support and incident response — not a feature engineer. You’ll own triage, fixes, and data/scripted remediations for production issues, debug the Python/Django backend and Postgres, and work directly with customers and internal teams to resolve escalations quickly and safely.
What you’ll do
Triage and resolve production incidents and customer escalations (tickets, email, phone).
Debug backend issues in Python/Django and inspect/modify DB state safely (Postgres).
Write, test, and run one-off and reusable Python scripts and SQL for remediation, migrations, or repairs.
Investigate logs, traces, and metrics to perform root-cause analysis and implement short/medium-term mitigations.
Coordinate with Engineering to scope fixes, deliver reproducible bug reports, and verify releases.
Deploy hot-fixes or run deployment tasks when required (following established processes).
Maintain runbooks, postmortems, and KB articles to reduce recurrence and MTTR.
Support data migrations and onboarding tasks that require backend fixes.
Communicate status clearly to customers and internal stakeholders during incidents.
Must-have qualifications
4–6 years
production experience working with
Python
and
Django
(or equivalent Python web frameworks).
Product-oriented — this isn’t just a coding role; you must be comfortable in a direct customer support function.
Strong SQL skills and production experience with
PostgreSQL
.
Comfortable debugging server-side code, reading logs, and tracing requests across services.
Familiarity with Git workflows and basic CI/CD concepts.
Excellent written and verbal communication — customer-facing and able to explain technical issues clearly.
Strong attention to safety and compliance when changing production data.
Nice-to-have
Experience with SaaS/vertical software (FinTech/payments a plus).
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS) and observability tools (Sentry, Datadog, ELK).
Prior support or SRE experience (on-call rotations, incident response).
Experience with data migration tools and techniques.
Basic frontend familiarity (React) to collaborate with product and QA.
Soft skills
Calm under pressure and methodical in triage.
Customer-oriented and pragmatic — focused on safe, fast outcomes.
Curious with a desire to prevent repeat incidents through automation and documentation.
Relentless problem solver who “gets to the bottom” of issues.
Compensation
$60,000–$80,000 USD base

Onboarding Specialist (Remote — Global)
About Aktos
Aktos builds software for debt collection agencies — modern, all-in-one tools that help agencies manage accounts, communicate with debtors, and get paid faster. We’re a fast-growing startup building the next generation of collection technology.
Role overview
We’re hiring an
Onboarding Specialist
to own complex, multi-month customer implementations from kickoff to go-live. This role is project-management heavy: you’ll derisk programs, coordinate stakeholders across functions, manage timelines and dependencies, and ensure clients successfully adopt Aktos.
What you’ll do
Own 3+ month onboarding programs end-to-end — create and run project plans, track milestones, and remove blockers to keep implementations on time
Lead stakeholder management — map sponsors, align cross-functional stakeholders, run steering calls, and negotiate scope/timing tradeoffs
Proactively derisk implementations — maintain risk registers, define gating criteria, escalate appropriately, and keep executive stakeholders informed
Diagnose technical and product blockers — analyze data mismatches, product configuration gaps, integration issues, and propose pragmatic fixes
Collaborate with product & engineering — surface recurring issues, document patterns, and recommend product improvements to reduce future onboarding effort
Standardize and scale onboarding — create playbooks, runbooks, templates, and internal documentation to speed up future implementations
Communicate clearly with clients — set expectations, guide them through setup, and resolve questions efficiently
(Bonus) Perform light technical work — data imports, SQL lookups, API checks, test configurations, and validation of integrations
Who this role is for (Ideal backgrounds)
We’re explicitly looking for people who have
led long, complex onboarding programs (3+ months)
where project management, stakeholder management, and derisking were the day-to-day work. Typical backgrounds we love include:
Implementation/Professional Services at an
enterprise SaaS
vendor (ERP, CRM, HRIS, billing/collections) — titles like
Implementation Manager
,
Senior Onboarding Specialist
,
Professional Services Consultant
, or
Technical Project Manager (Onboarding)
Customer Success/Onboarding leads at companies that deliver
3–6 month
deployments (examples: NetSuite, Salesforce, Workday, Oracle NetSuite, Zendesk/Support Enterprise, HubSpot Enterprise)
Project managers or consultants who managed customer rollouts at payroll/benefits, billing platforms, or other regulated vertical SaaS with complex integrations and data migrations
People from consulting practices or systems integrators who ran scoping, SOWs, and cross-functional delivery for multi-stakeholder clients
If you’ve had titles like
Implementation Manager, Professional Services Manager, Customer Onboarding Manager, Technical Project Manager — Implementation, or Senior Onboarding Specialist
and you’ve driven multi-month, enterprise-style implementations, you’ll fit well.
What you’ll need
1–3 years experience in SaaS onboarding, implementation, or project management —
must
include ownership of 3+ month onboarding programs or equivalent enterprise engagements
Strong project management and stakeholder management skills — project plans, risk registers, gating, escalation, and executive reporting
Basic SQL and Excel skills (able to run lookups and validate data); comfort with light technical troubleshooting
Strong written and spoken English communication
Excellent organization and attention to detail
Comfortable working across time zones in a fast-paced startup
Bonus: experience with customer data migrations, APIs, Postman, Zapier or other workflow automation tools
Compensation
Competitive salary based on experience: $40K–$60K USD / year (some flexibility for exceptional candidates)

Make a measurable impact on customer success and product quality
Learn SaaS operations, data systems, and product development firsthand
Long-term growth opportunity as we scale our customer success and product orgs
