Should we encounter system functional issues, Support advocates for the customer in highlighting, pursuing, and communicating the solution path with internal teams to resolve the customer experience. Our mission is to answer our customers’ questions with ease and speed.

• Self-management, ability to maintain productivity and quality without constant direct supervision
• Hold or be studying a computer science or software engineering related degree or comparable and demonstrable knowledge of key concepts
• Specific knowledge of Salesforce, Apex, and the master-detail object model are a significant plus, though not required
