- As part of the Support organization, you will be directly interfacing with our largest customers and their most difficult problems. There will almost certainly be sweat. But don’t worry – you’ll have time to prepare before you take on your first escalation
- The limits of your understanding will constantly be pushed, and you’ll be challenged to grow.
Underlying it all is the fuel that drives our team: customer obsession. We keep mission-critical deployments online, recover from high-pressure incidents with grace and humility, become trusted advisors, and work so closely with our customers that they would swear we were part of their team

- Lead high-visibility customer escalations and incidents, coordinating Engineering, Product, Support Operations, and other stakeholders

and retrospectives that improve team capability and consistency
