Senior Support Engineer - East Coast

You are a Sr. Support Engineer that thrives on technical challenges and providing top-of-the-line technical Customer Support, with a focus on helping customers accomplish their goals. An exceptional work ethic is second nature to you, and you welcome a certain level of ambiguity. You enjoy figuring things out and take great pride in reaching creative solutions.

You are well-rounded in written and verbal communication, yet quick and efficient with your time — applying ruthless prioritization to focus on the most impactful issues first. Documentation gaps don’t scare you, and you are always seeking to improve your own experience and that of your customers. First and foremost, you want to leave things in better shape than you found them.
