I'd love a service that puts me in touch (for a fee) with an engineer/someone above level 1-2 support from Google/Amazon/huge corps

When dealing with companies that are above a certain size, it takes days or weeks to get to someone that can fix issues, but if you're lucky and you have a friend that knows someone who works there he can expedite your ticket. This service would work like that, a friend that puts you in touch with people hired at big corps.

I'm aware this service would have a number of potential issues, such as how to get employees on the platform without annoying their employers, or how to prevent abuse/bribes, but if somebody find a way..

That seems like a nice idea to develop as a side hustle. Not sure if it would be so much of an issue, as websites like https://www.teamblind.com exist. I'm more worried about the user acquisition tbh
If you're in the UK, there's at least one ISP that is XKCD compliant:
