About the Role

Technical Customer Support is our customers’ “hotline.” It is the department that has revolutionized the way we think about technical support: one-on-one, hands-on, and accountable from first contact to resolution — leaving customers with a positive impression and giving our developers and testers invaluable feedback from the field.
