### About the role

When a BigID enterprise customer hits a complex, high-impact issue in production, you’re the escalation point. As a Staff Client Support Engineer, you’ll find root causes, deliver fixes and workarounds, and advocate for customers with Engineering and Product. You’ll also raise the technical capability of our 25-person Support organization and influence product and system design.

### What you’ll do

- Work directly with customer stakeholders to diagnose and resolve complex issues in production environments.
- Analyze logs, metrics, and product code to reproduce issues and identify root causes.
- Deliver fixes, workarounds, and configuration guidance tailored to each customer’s requirements.
- Coordinate across internal and customer teams to drive multi-party issues to resolution.
- Partner with Engineering and Product Management to prioritize bugs, enhancements, and implementation improvements based on customer impact, using data and experience balanced against business constraints.
- Share deep technical knowledge through documentation, training, and mentorship across Support and with customers.
- Influence adjacent teams’ design decisions to support sound, system-wide architecture.
- You’ll cover on-call for a full weekend 2-3 times per year, scheduled in advance, with on-call pay.
### What you’ll bring

### Experience

- 7+ years in IT, including 2+ years in a customer-facing technical role, ideally implementing products in enterprise environments.
- Strong troubleshooting skills on complex software systems, with the self-direction to work hard problems through independently, starting from written and verbal descriptions from support teams, account managers, and customers.
### Technical skills

- Linux: hands-on installation, configuration, and management, including shell scripting, package managers (apt, yum), archiving tools, SSH/SFTP/SCP, NFS/SMB, and LDAP/Kerberos.
- Containers: hands-on experience deploying and operating applications with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Cloud: experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Databases: working knowledge of SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB.
- Programming: proficiency in at least one language (Python, JavaScript, C++, C#, or Java), including writing scripts or code to diagnose issues and build workarounds. Experience in more than one is a plus.
### How you work

- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical concepts to engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike.
- Comfort managing competing priorities and switching between tasks without losing quality.
### Nice to have

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related technical field (extensive relevant experience may substitute).
