When something is broken, do you want to figure out why?

When you figure out why, do you explain the process to your friends?

Join our growing support team to level up on cutting-edge technology, Golang, SaaS operations, and

to collaborate with our wide range of customers and partners.

As a Support Engineer, you'll respond to support questions from our range of customers, collaborate

with the developers and product teams on characterizing, reproducing, and fixing issues, host

webinars, and work with our open-source community on GitHub and elsewhere. You will be a key

part of our 24/7 support presence by partnering with our on-prem customers and SaaS users. You'll

be supporting users at Fortune 50 enterprises, fledgling startups, established startups, academic

researchers, and government projects. Our customers come from many fields, including industrial

automation, high frequency trading, consumer retail, online gaming, and energy management.

We're looking for candidates who value continual improvement, building tools, and venturing into the

unknown. The Support team is a good home for people who leave things better than they found

them. We are people who say "I'll learn!" rather than "I don't know." You'll need to be open to

experimenting, which means that sometimes you will fail. (That's okay -- every mistake is also a

lesson.) You'll need the persistence to find a solution without a flowchart laying out the entire

process. You'll need the maturity and experience to work without direct oversight much of the day

and with colleagues distributed around the globe. Being empathic, supportive, and self-aware are

key to your success.
