Support Engineer

As a Support Engineer, you will be the superhero we need to solve challenging, highly technical problems that face our customers and front-line colleagues. To solve these issues, you must have a knack for troubleshooting a variety of problems (application, OS, network, databases, security, etc.), identifying root causes, and finding the best solution or workaround.

You will also be escalating issues and submitting enhancement requests on behalf of customers to our product team and developers, serving as the gateway between the customer base and internal teams. This requires being able to see the forest between the trees. This also requires being able to understand and translate technical jargon to business users and relay real-world expectations and problems back to the development team. You are the point of interaction between customer and company, and the insight you glean from this relationship will be invaluable in ensuring customer and company success.
