• Elevate Engineering Talent & Knowledge: Mentor and coach support team members through joint case triage, structured technical trainings, and internal documentation, accelerating technical capabilities and resolution velocity across the organization.
• Bridge Product Engineering & Customer Insights: Partner directly with Product Engineering to relay real-world system behavior, ensuring critical customer feedback, feature enhancements, and bug fixes trickle back into core product design.
• Lead Strategic Customer Communications: Facilitate high-visibility multi-participant calls during hot escalations, authoring clear, concise customer-facing communications and technical KB articles that build lasting client confidence.
WHAT YOU BRING
• End-to-end technical troubleshooting and root-cause analysis expertise across multi-vendor environments, including Linux/Windows administration, cloud architectures (AWS), REST API services, virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V), and enterprise storage protocols (NFS, S3, SMB).
• In-depth understanding of enterprise networking and systems architecture, with hands-on proficiency in core protocols (DNS, HTTP, SSL, TCP/IP) and diagnosing complex networking, replication, performance, and capacity issues.
• Exceptional customer crisis management skills, with a proven ability to lead multi-stakeholder technical calls, de-escalate high-pressure situations, and translate
