As a Support Engineer, you are responsible for providing world-class post-sales technical leadership to our client base.

Finally, as part of the Customer Engineering organization, you will have the opportunity to work directly with our Product Management, Engineering, Customer Success, and Marketing teams to share your knowledge and experiences, and will act as the Voice of the Customer to help drive improvements that will ensure our customers’ success with CircleCI.
You will be the main point of contact for technical questions and requests for assistance that our customers register in our support ticketing system. You will work with the rest of the Support team to build out and cultivate our support operations, and help to establish a customer community to enhance the experience of our customers. For this job you will need to have a strong technical capability along with a strong self-starting, dedicated mentality and the ability to maintain empathy for customers. You’re going to be dealing with very technical users and complex issues, but you’re also tasked with creating excitement and loyalty in the customers you interact with.
We are looking for someone to work somewhere between 7:00 UTC - 19:00 UTC.
