Role
Who you are
- You can troubleshoot and explain complex networking issues including concepts like HTTP(S), DNS, SSL, firewalls, and proxies
- You are proficient with command line interface (CLI) tools, such as nslookup, whois, curl, ping, traceroute, and git
- You are a user and creator of the web, specifically HTML, JavaScript, and React, and you can explain browser and server caching. You are very familiar with browser-based debugging of caching and other issues using the developer tools
- You have experience developing and/or troubleshooting AWS lambda functions
- You are familiar with composable web architecture and the ecosystem, including familiarity with caching layers such as Akamai, Cloudflare, and Cloudfront, and/or software like varnish
- You have some experience using frameworks such as GatsbyJS and NextJS
- You know how to analyze a HAR file
- In case you have some Ruby (reading more than writing) and/or Go experience, it would be a great bonus
- You understand that how you deliver a message and communicate with customers is often more important than what you are actually telling them
- In our increasingly digital age, and with the rise of AI tools, it’s extremely important that when interacting with customers, you provide not only fast and accurate support but do so in a way that is kind, empathetic, and human
- We are here to help guide, advise, and support. Especially when it comes to our Enterprise customers, we are here to be their partners. Someone they can turn to when things go wrong. Our job is not just to provide the right answer or fix the problem - it’s to be supportive and helpful. In doing this, you’ll strengthen relationships and trust, ensuring that our customers feel confident that building on Netlify is the best solution for their business
- You provide solutions as quickly as possible. We aim to unblock customers as quickly as we can. However, we also take the time to ensure that we fully understand their issue and address all of their concerns
- You can let your personality shine. We are each unique humans with our own personalities and not robots. We have fun with customers and use natural language while still remaining professional
What the job involves
- A successful candidate enjoys helping people succeed with web technology, isn’t afraid to help improve our practices and our product, and loves to learn.
- We are looking for a new team member to help us with that mission and provide technical support to our developer customers. We are looking for that person to work remotely from and during North America time zones, Monday through Friday
- You’ll be supporting Enterprise accounts primarily. We strive to provide a white-glove service to these VIP customers. Since most of our support is conducted via email, excellent customer-centric written communication skills are a must. Most of our support is conducted over email via Zendesk, in our public Support Forums, in Slack, and regularly over video calls. Much of our team collaboration is in Slack
- You'll be advising people on connecting systems outside of our scope (databases, remote websites, DNS providers) to our service, as well as helping debug site building software like yarn, npm, and webpack
- Therefore, experience with network administration, system administration, and web development are extremely relevant to this role
- While you will definitely learn more about these technologies as you work here, it is preferred that you arrive with an understanding of them
- To ensure your success on our team, your colleagues will work with you extensively as you develop familiarity with our systems and processes
- We have thorough onboarding materials to help you learn all of the product areas, and you'll be working with customers from week 1
- By the time you've worked here for 3 months, you'll be familiar with all product areas (and gaining expertise in your chosen focus areas), and you'll be working to improve the training for the next hire
- You’ll work with customers of all levels on topics spanning many areas of our services
- Netlify is constantly releasing new features, so you won't run out of things to learn!
Application process
- A resume or short listing of your job history & skills (link to a LinkedIn profile would be fine). We appreciate a cover letter explaining why you would enjoy working in this role at Netlify to get to know you a bit better, though this is not required and will not impact your application
Our take
Servers have been essential to web development since the rise of the internet, but advancements in online infrastructure are causing them to become antiquated. This has resulted in a demand for an alternative to servers that is easier to deploy and scale on today’s web.
Netlify provides a platform that takes care of back end infrastructure for front end developers. The technology uses a new server architecture named Jamstack which migrates development functionality to a web browser. As a result, websites can be rendered directly through API microservices instead of calling servers.
Netlify aims to cut costs and save time by removing the necessity for a server within a client’s stack. The company has more than 4 million developers, and continues to focus on scaling its enterprise customers which stands at over 475 and currently includes Google, Facebook and Unilever.
