• Work with our tech support teams to diagnose operational issues and help our customers to achieve their goals with our product
• Take an active role in a friendly, supportive team that encourages you and the entire company to grow as individuals, professionals, and teams

What we're looking for:

• A collaborative mindset backed by excellent communication skills and a desire to help us make great decisions in an empathetic and respectful way
• Experience working with customers and applying a deep understanding of their needs to produce timely solutions to their real-world problems
• A solid understanding of how to create front-end web applications that are both accessible and performant
• Comfort working in UNIX environments and applying modern collaborative development practices

• Experience using Node.js to deploy and scale server and serverless services
• Experience in working with RDB systems, preferably PostgresQL
• Experience working with email creation is nice to have
• Experience working within a distributed company is preferred
