Customer Support Engineer

Many companies pay lip-service to “Customer Success”. Working closely with users, you’ll see the difference the features you championed have on millions of people developing on Salesforce, and how they apply DevOps best practices to their development and release process. The Customer Success team is responsible for creating lasting relationships with our customers and ensuring they see a high level of success with Gearset.

As a customer support engineer, you will be delighting users technically while they adopt Gearset. We believe in a highly consultative approach, deeply understanding our users and their challenges to deliver exceptional customer support, training and satisfaction. Our approach to support is friendly, personal, and fun, and we prioritise engaging in dynamic conversations without relying on predetermined scripts, while maintaining state-of-the-art AI tooling and documentation to help customers self-serve where possible.
