You will investigate technical issues, analyze logs, identify root causes, and work closely with Engineering and Product teams to resolve complex problems.
You will also contribute to customer success by translating technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical audiences.
The position offers exposure to multimodel data technologies, cloud-native infrastructure, and the evolving foundations of enterprise AI.
This remote opportunity is suited to a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys technical ownership, customer interaction, and working at the intersection of data and AI.
Provide advanced technical support for database, AI, cloud, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-related customer issues.
Diagnose complex technical problems by analyzing logs, system behavior, configurations, networking conditions, and other available evidence.
Investigate database performance and reliability issues involving data modeling, query optimization, indexing, replication, clustering, backups, and performance tuning.
Troubleshoot Kubernetes environments, including AKS, EKS, OpenShift, Helm deployments, ingress controllers, service endpoints, and cluster administration workflows.
Analyze infrastructure and networking issues involving load balancers, timeouts, DNS, storage, connectivity, and service endpoints.
Support environments using AWS, Azure, on-premises infrastructure, Linux, Docker, and related cloud-native technologies.
Work with storage technologies such as EBS, gp3, MinIO, and S3-compatible storage.
Apply knowledge of LLMs, embeddings, vector search, RAG, prompt engineering, and AI APIs when diagnosing or supporting AI-enabled applications.
Use REST APIs, JSON, authentication mechanisms, and scripting with Python, Bash, or similar tools to investigate and resolve issues.
Read and understand application code to assist with technical troubleshooting and identify potential product defects.
Collaborate with Engineering, Product, QA, and Customer Success teams to escalate issues, communicate findings, and drive effective resolutions.
Document solutions, troubleshooting procedures, and technical findings to strengthen internal knowledge bases and improve future support efficiency.
Build customer trust through clear communication, thoughtful expectation management, and a structured approach to understanding the underlying issue before troubleshooting.
5+ years of professional experience in Support Engineering or a closely related technical support role.
At least 3 years of hands-on experience working with databases, preferably including ArangoDB, Neo4j, or comparable database technologies.
Strong understanding of database fundamentals, including data modeling, query optimization, indexing, clustering, replication, backups, and performance tuning.
Strong Kubernetes experience, including platforms such as AKS, EKS, or OpenShift, along with Helm.
