The Support Engineer role is a key member of the post-sales team working closely with engineering, sales, customer success, and directly with customers. This person is a technical expert able to assess and resolve setup issues, bugs, or any other technical challenges customers may face (e.g. scripting challenges, data exports). This role is a crucial part of the customer satisfaction function on the team. The ideal person loves to figure out why something is not working and can clearly articulate the best way to resolve – sometimes creatively.
We’re a remote-first company with team members in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and more.
