Key skills for this role
As part of the Support organization, you will be directly interfacing with our largest customers and their most difficult problems. There will almost certainly be sweat. But don’t worry – you’ll have time to prepare before you take on your first escalation. The limits of your understanding will constantly be pushed, and you’ll be challenged to grow. Underlying it all is the fuel that drives our team: customer obsession. We keep mission-critical deployments online, recover from high-pressure incidents with grace and humility, become trusted advisors, and work so closely with our customers that they would swear we were part of their team.
These are just a few of the things you can expect to do as a Technical Services Engineer:
Become well-versed in core aspects of MongoDB
Gain deeper expertise in specialized areas of the product
Combine technical rigor with customer empathy under pressure
Advocate for our customers’ needs and shape product priorities
Turn what you learn into learning for others through knowledge articles, presentations, mentoring, and ramping
Insatiably curious. Empathetic. Customer-focused. Able to earn trust quickly and communicate clearly in difficult situations, and exercise good judgment about when to collaborate or pull in others. We are especially drawn to self-taught candidates who know how to learn quickly, navigate complex systems, and make use of the resources around them.
The ideal candidate will have experience in most of the following areas:
Strong Linux systems administration and troubleshooting skills, including performance, memory, I/O, configuration, security, networking, clustering, and storage
Skip the repetitive application forms
