• Provide technical support to developers using Backstage
• Triage and address new requests, issues, and customer concerns
• Develop a deep understanding of customer concerns, share insights when metrics and anecdotes may differ
• Analyze trends in support asks, update FAQs/learning materials
• Identify points of friction in the adoption and integration experience of Backstage
• Collaborate with marketing and business development to support building sales collateral

Who you are

• You have an understanding of how developers work and collaborate within an enterprise environment as well as extensive experience with modern web development and infrastructure

• Experienced in platform diagnosis and trouble-shooting
• Excellent communicator with strong focus on customer needs
• Having worked in tech consulting and/or customer management
• Experience working with/contributing to backstage.io is a bonus

Where you’ll be

• Working hours? This role sits within a distributed team, operating across the Central European and Eastern time zones, so we optimize for having most of our group activities in the overlapping hours and work asynchronously for the rest of the day
• Prefer an office to work from home instead? Not a problem! We have plenty of options for your working preferences. Find more information about our Work From Anywhere options here.
