About the role
Despite being a small company, our customers include some of the world’s largest professional services firms and we’re now supporting customers across multiple time zones. We’re looking for our first US application support engineer to support our growing customer base in North America.
The working hours overlap with our growing US team, but the successful candidate will need to be self-reliant, as there will be limited overlap with our UK engineering teams.
Our customers each have thousands of users, who are looked after by their own internal support teams for 1st line issues. However, the more complex stuff comes to us, and that’s where you come in.
What you’ll do
Review support tickets (including reviewing logs) and prepare them for software engineers to fix, when needed
Manage tickets in Freshdesk, raising comprehensive JIRA tickets to engage engineers
Resolve tickets directly when no code changes are required
Triage tickets based on various internal and external priorities
Contribute towards the creation of support docs, including user guides, videos, and other self-help resources for customers
Be an expert user of our product, able to answer all questions from customers and colleagues
Use bug report data to help the company continuously improve testing and product quality
Help to ensure support is the go-to team for anything product-related
Provide customer feedback to the product team and contribute towards shaping the product roadmap
Continuously review our processes to identify opportunities for improvement
Manage the deployment infrastructure for internal environments in Azure and be responsible for shipping releases out to customers
About you
Demonstrable experience in application support for external customers as a L2 or L3 support engineer. You must be able to translate technical back into the customer’s language without following a well-defined script.
You will be working US hours in a UK headquartered company - you will have limited overlap with a majority of the company so you will need to be independent and a self starter
Experience supporting customers in an enterprise environment, building long-term relationships with key contacts
Keen to be hands-on and actively involved in issue resolution
Passionate about technology and delighting customers
A technological generalist - able to turn your hand to just about anything
Excellent communication skills, both with customers and internal technical teams
Comfortable challenging and raising issues at any level
Analytical and methodical approach to solving problems
Knowledge of SQL - able to write and run scripts
Knowledge of JavaScript – able to amend and write conditions
Bonus points
Our software uses technology such as Vue, Json, .net - experience working with or an understanding of one or more of these is an advantage
We host our customers within Microsoft Azure, so knowledge of this cloud or a similar provider is an advantage
Experience working with software integrations - ideally using Azure Data Factory
An understanding of how large professional services firms operate (we work with global enterprise customers such as PwC, Deloitte and Grant Thornton)
Experience working with and communicating with a geographically distributed team
What you’ll get
Salary $75,000 - $95,000 dependent on experience
Generous allowance of 20 vacation days plus public holidays on top
Vacation days increasing by 1 day each year of service to a maximum of 27 days
Comprehensive healthcare plan
401k
At least $1,400 per year to spend on professional and personal development
Regular All Hands meeting for inspiration and over-communication
Monthly team events (sometimes in-person, sometimes virtual)
Volunteering time – up to 20 hours a year to participate in volunteer work
Innovation Week twice a year - a chance to experiment and work off-project
Genuinely nice, smart people to work with, who are excited about growing our company
Working Details
This is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week), working 11:00 - 19:30 (CT) from Monday to Friday.
We are looking for someone to join the team remotely in/around Austin, Texas, in order to support customers across the United States, and to facilitate occasional in-person collaboration with others within the US team.
Join the team!
Equality of opportunity is more than just a responsibility: we believe it’s a huge advantage to welcome a variety of experiences and perspectives into the team. Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background.
This is your opportunity to really influence how we get things done, and how our product helps our customers improve their working lives. We’re doing well, but there’s lots more to do in order to maintain the high bar and pace that we’ve set.
Everyone here is growing personally as the company grows, so if that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to see your application.
The deadline for applications is 9am CT, Monday 19th May.
Please note the successful candidate for this role will be subject to background checks and will have an opportunity to declare anything to us beforehand.
