closed vacancy Support Engineer - remote

We are looking for an engineer with a “find a way or make a way”attitude who has a passion for ensuring products “just work”for customers. The mission of Support Engineering is to be the primary point of contact between Customer Happiness and the Product Engineering organization and to triage and resolve front-line technical issues. The ideal candidate will be someone with a keen sense of customer satisfaction. This individual should be able to troubleshoot and root cause issues reported by customers in the field and take appropriate action to either resolve the issues or gather enough information to help the team in getting those issues resolved.

Our environment is typical of a start-up:

• We work in small teams, fast-paced, we all get a lot done by everyone wearing many hats.
• We are serious about optimizing our time and staying focused on the most important goals and outcomes.
• We are a remote team and are completely on board with 100% remote work, meaning we focus on overcommunication to ensure we can stay in sync despite our physical distance.
• We coordinate using a kanban board, hold a daily standup, and mostly communicate via ad hoc video calls and Slack.
• We’re building lots of new things, but also maintaining a significant business. We are mindful of the balance and need to monitor and pay down tech debt and also innovate with exciting greenfield projects.

We’re a hybrid stack

• Our “NextGen”technology is written in .Net Core, NodeJS and React and lives on GKE/Google Cloud Platform. Our “Legacy”platform is AngularJS (aka Angular 1) and ASP.NET.
• We’re looking for senior talent to contribute to our NextGen but who is also capable, when required, to roll up their sleeves and dive into legacy.
