  • Guide the team through technical-training, certificates, additional learning, and development needs
  • Drive projects or initiatives to improve team productivity, process, or procedure
  • Collaborate with internal teams and customers on high-priority escalations and act as a resource to resolve escalations from team members as necessary

Who You Are:
  • 3 years of Management Experience in Technical Support, Solutions Engineering, or a related technical customer-facing function
  • Passionate about people management and mentorship with previous experience leading a team, including managing other managers

  • A tinkerer with some programming experience and a basic knowledge of Linux
  • Able to handle a rotating pager/oncall schedule for incidents and business critical issues
  • Active contribution to open-source projects (code, bug reports, etc.) and the Engineering Community (Meetups, etc.)
  • Able to work onsite in an office location at least 3 days a week
