Overview

Our Technical Support Engineers provide enterprise-level assistance to our customers around the globe – we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality of support we can and we believe this level of steadfast commitment truly showcases the uncompromising integrity of our company.

Delivering on this commitment requires uninterrupted dedication from our Technical Support team: we are therefore looking to expand our reach by hiring a remote (telecommute) Technical Support Engineer in the European region, to be added to the existing team members in the US and Asia Pacific.

As a Technical Support Engineer you will be our customer’s advocate and be responsible for their continued enablement by becoming an evangelist for the evolving value of the Treasure Data product with customers. We will also look for your input in representing the customers’ feedback with the Product team and helping us drive and prioritize the improvements to the product. Lastly, you love helping customers! You know how satisfying  it can be to solve a challenging problem for a customer, and you know first hand how great customer support can be the difference in winning, keeping or losing a customer.

At Treasure Data, we put a great deal of emphasis on collaboration and maintaining an open working environment, regardless of location. Having great co-workers is one of the biggest determinants for enjoying your work, and we take our enjoyment of our work very seriously.

If this sounds like the kind of opportunity you’ve been looking for, then we’re going to need your resume of course, but more importantly send us a cover letter giving us a sense of why you think you are absolutely the right person for this job.
