There is also an opportunity to create technical content, mentor colleagues, and share knowledge with customers and the wider community.
This is an ideal environment for a curious, self-driven engineer who enjoys working with databases, distributed systems, cloud technologies, and rapidly evolving products.
You’ll play a direct role in delivering exceptional technical support while helping shape scalable support practices in a high-growth, remote-first environment.

• Collaborate with Engineering, Product Management, Support Services, and Go-to-Market teams to identify customer needs and help define product improvements.
• Develop reusable technical solutions and educational resources through documentation, knowledge bases, blogs, webinars, meetups, and training.
• Contribute to user and open-source communities by sharing knowledge, best practices, and practical solutions.
• Mentor and support colleagues by sharing technical expertise and contributing to team learning.
• Help improve internal support processes, workflows, and practices as the organization continues to scale.
• Participate in the scheduling and on-call coverage required to provide high-quality global support.

Requirements:

• Previous experience in a customer-facing technical role such as Support Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Consultant, Database Administrator, Site Reliability Engineer, Software Engineer, or Systems Engineer.
• Strong technical breadth and depth in database technologies, OLAP, cloud-native SaaS, distributed systems, or closely related domains.
• Hands-on experience with an OLAP database, DBaaS platform, or comparable technology; direct experience with the relevant platform is a strong advantage.
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex technical issues and communicate solutions clearly.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with customers, partners, and colleagues.
• Fluent English and the ability to collaborate effectively in a globally distributed, remote environment.
• Availability aligned with the scheduling requirements of a global 24/7 support organization.
• Reliable internet connectivity and the ability to work independently in a fully remote setting.
• A collaborative, empathetic, customer-focused mindset with a strong sense of ownership and urgency.
• Curiosity, self-motivation, and a willingness to continuously learn and develop technically.
• Experience with open-source technologies, communities, or contributions is a plus.
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP is an advantage.
• Familiarity with data-pipeline technologies such as Kafka, Kinesis, Spark, RabbitMQ, or similar tools is beneficial.
