Pure Escalation Engineers (EE) work on the most complex, and challenging customer issues. This team is the last step in Support before an issue is escalated to Development. The EE is responsible for reviewing tickets, and advising the technical support engineers on further steps for resolution. If necessary, the EE will take over the ticket, and work directly with the customer.

The goal of this position is to minimize the number of tickets which are escalated to Development.

This position is ideal for a support professional with strong interpersonal skills, and a desire to work in a fast-paced, high-performing, entrepreneurial culture. The ideal candidate must be willing to accept the unpredictable nature of daily work in a rapidly growing business.
