Customer Support Engineer

Customer Support Engineers will have experience actively diagnosing and debugging customer tickets and will be technically curious; digging deep to find the answer to a tricky problem. CSEs will be good communicators and will be able to handle customers in both positive and negative situations. They must be able to fully drive customers through the debugging process in confident control. 

Fastly’s goal of creating the best set of tools for people who scale the internet is rooted in great support. It's a core value, and something that shapes our culture. Fastly is looking for passionate support engineers to continue our high standard of support, as well as scale and improve our support systems as we grow.

The ideal candidate should be a master of written voice, and have the technical curiosity and experience necessary to understand Fastly’s product from end to end. They’ll be working with our marketing, engineering, and sales teams on behalf of our customer base, so a passion for customer advocacy is essential. Also, no two support tickets at Fastly are alike, so support engineers will be dealing with a wide range of complex and rewarding problems on a daily basis. 

What You'll Do

• Manage customer CDN configurations over email and chat
• Communicate customer needs and requirements with the engineering, product and sales teams
• Contribute to our customer facing documentation when necessary
• Contribute to the processes and policies that scale our support organization as we grow

Work Hours: This position will require you to be available during core business hours.

• Recommended minimum of 2+ years of experience in customer support or sysadmin role
• Strong written communication skills and experience supporting customers via email, chat, ticketing system or phone
• Demonstrated understanding of one or more programming languages
• Demonstrated understanding of *nix environment
• Ability to debug connections using cURL, traceroute, nc or other network diagnostic tools

Work Location(s) & Travel Requirements

This position may require travel as required by your role or requested by your manager.

Salary

The estimated salary range for this position is $71,350 to $104,920.

Starting salary may vary based on permissible, non-discriminatory factors such as experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
