Description
Environment
This team is a Technical Support organization supporting enterprise open-source and cloud-native technologies within government entities. It is a newer team currently being built out, offering an opportunity to join at the ground level with strong potential for long-term growth as the organization expands.
Team
This is not an engineering or build-focused role. The team functions as a high-level technical escalation point for customers experiencing issues with supported platforms and products. When customer engineering teams are unable to resolve complex problems, this team steps in to diagnose and drive resolution.
Customer interaction is a critical aspect of the role. Team members support customers via phone, email, and chat, ensuring issues are addressed efficiently and professionally. Candidates with a background in build or implementation engineering should be aware that this position is strictly support-focused, not responsible for designing or building environments.
Long-term, individuals who perform well may have the opportunity to transition into more traditional engineering roles within the organization, but this position itself is not a product development or engineering team.
Position Overview
The client is building out a Senior Technical Support team to support federal customers. This role serves as the first line of advanced technical support for customers using enterprise Linux, container platforms, automation tools, and cloud-native technologies.
Day-to-day responsibilities include actively working customer support queues, resolving backlog tickets, and participating in structured training programs. The client provides extensive onboarding and ongoing training, including access to a comprehensive online learning portal.
Once fully ramped up, team members will participate in an on-call/pager rotation. Core working hours follow a standard business schedule, with compensation provided for on-call coverage.
