What you build and where it takes you should be unrestricted by the capabilities of your database. We created CockroachDB as the planet's most highly evolved, cloud-native, distributed SQL database. Making scale so simple you don't even have to think about it. Making data so resilient it becomes impossible to destroy. Making delivery so seamless, your apps run anywhere. Join us on our mission to build a different breed of database—one born in the cloud and built from the ground up to help companies of any size scale fast, survive disaster, and thrive everywhere.
We're looking for a Senior Technical Support Engineer to help us make CockroachDB easy for our customers. You’ll be joining a team and organization where you will be challenged, but also will witness your contributions to Cockroach Labs. While this is a remote role, you must be based in the Western to Central US region and willing to work the hours of PST-timezone.
In your first 30 days, you will have developed enough expertise to begin assisting users directly. During this time, you will familiarize yourself with CockroachDB, our customers, and our company. We will provide a self-guided onboarding platform that contains reading material and hands-on material to familiarize yourself with the responsibilities of the role.
After 3 months, you'll be fully integrated into the team and will be familiar with the various systems we use. You'll be able to manage most issues from customers and will be able to contribute to improving the scope and quality of our offerings. As our team and your expertise grow, you’ll begin mentoring and training new members of the team, developing and updating training and documentation to ensure that knowledge is not lost.
