Project description

As a Solutions Engineer, you will be the superhero we need to solving challenging, highly technical problems that face our clients and front-line colleagues. To solve these issues, you must be proactive, have a knack for troubleshooting a variety of problems (application, OS, network, databases, security, etc.), identifying root cause/s, and finding the ultimate solution or workaround.

You will also be escalating issues and submitting enhancement requests on behalf of clients to the developers, serving as the gateway between the client-base and the development team. This requires being able to see the forest between the trees. This also requires being able to understand and translate technical jargon to business users and relay real-world expectations and problems back to the development team. You are the point of interaction between client and company, and the insight you glean from this relationship will be invaluable in ensuring client and company success.
