TLDR

Work directly with enterprise customers to troubleshoot issues across cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes, influencing key AI workflows for major companies.

Unstructured is defining the standard for enterprise data transformation in the age of LLMs and generative AI. In just two years, we’ve raised over $65M from world-class investors, including Menlo Ventures, Bain Capital, Databricks, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and IBM.   Our open-source toolkit has been downloaded 52M+ times and is used by 66,000+ companies, including nearly half of the Fortune 500. We power production AI workflows across commercial and federal sectors—transforming PDFs, HTML, Word docs, images, emails, and more into AI-ready data pipelines that scale. We’re not just building tools, we’re building the backbone of generative AI and the infrastructure that unlocks intelligence across industries.   Do you enjoy debugging real production systems and solving hard infrastructure problems? At Unstructured, our customers run dedicated deployments inside their own VPCs, and when things break, you’re the person they rely on. As a Technical Support Engineer, you’ll work directly with enterprise customers to troubleshoot issues across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, and data pipelines.

    • Improve the System

  • Build runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and internal tooling

  • Identify patterns and drive improvements in reliability and supportability

    • What You Bring
  • 3+ years in Technical Support, SRE, DevOps, or similar roles supporting production systems

  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Docker

  • Proficiency in Python skills for scripting, API integration, and automation

  • Proven ability to debug production or distributed systems end-to-end

  • Comfortable working with APIs, logs, and system-level debugging tools

  • High ownership, strong troubleshooting instincts, and ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

    • Bonus Points

  • Experience supporting self-hosted or single-tenant deployments

  • Familiarity with Terraform, Pulumi or other IaC tools

  • Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana)

  • Python or scripting experience for debugging and automation

  • Exposure to data pipelines, ETL workflows, or AI/LLM systems

  • Experience working in early-stage or high-growth startups
