- Communicate complex technical topics clearly.
- Remain effective in high-pressure customer situations.
- Collaborate well across teams, cultures, and geographies.
- Enjoy sharing knowledge and helping others succeed.

Working in our Global Support Network Team
Our GSN operates through a follow-the-sun support model, providing expert support to customers worldwide. The role therefore requires some flexibility in working hours and may include participation in on-call rotations, weekend coverage, and occasional after-hours support.
Why join us?
This is more than a traditional support role. You will combine deep technical troubleshooting, Kubernetes and cloud technologies, preventative monitoring solutions, customer engagement, and continuous improvement in an environment where reliability really matters.
You will help us solve today's most challenging customer problems while developing the capabilities to detect issues earlier, prevent incidents, and continuously improve the way we support our customers.
