Why work with us?
We are a growing, “mature startup” focused on ecosystem building (i.e., we’re not a flash in the pan that’ll be gone next year). We invest in robust technology and processes that help our customers be successful running their own operations.
Our Support group is a tight-knit, scrappy team that’s fixated on helping our users succeed with our SRM platform. We value empathy, selflessness, action, transparency, clarity, process, and results. We invest in our team through get-togethers, individual and group learning, conferences, and experimenting. We believe in bringing a diversity of experiences, knowledge, viewpoints, and voices to our team as we transform into a worldwide Support organization.
How to Apply
Does the Support Engineer role seem like a good fit for you? If so, we want to hear from you!
Applying is easy. Just submit the following with your application:
- Your most current resume, including months/years of employment for each position, highlighting relevant experience
- An eye-catching cover letter (see below)
While applying is pretty easy, standing out among hundreds of candidates does take effort. You see, it’s pretty hard (and very time consuming) for us to find the truly great candidates, so we ask you to make it really obvious to us just how amazing you truly are. The easiest way to do that is to address the following questions/topics in your cover letter:
- What three skills or experiences in your professional history make you a fit for our next Support Engineer?
- Why do you enjoy working as a Support Engineer rather than other technical roles (e.g., software engineer/developer; DevOps)?
- If you have them, share examples of Support content you’ve personally created in support of an API or third-party developers (e.g., How-To videos, knowledge base articles, FAQs on using APIs). Don’t have any of your own examples? Share some examples that you think are really good and tell us why.
We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor work visas.
