Our customers are primarily developers and operations engineers that work in companies that leverage cutting edge software development technologies, tools and processes. We are looking for a support engineer who enjoys helping customers be successful, is comfortable with the command line, and thrives in figuring out complex technical issues.
The support team is equally passionate about helping customers as we are about the product. Our role is essential to the company, not only because happy customers keep using the product, but also because we communicate customer concerns to the product and engineering organizations and thereby ensure continued success.

Work closely with engineering and product teams to share what we learn from our customers but also to learn about new feature developments.
