Our platform includes all the capabilities needed to discover, organize, and consume data without the need for time-consuming and costly migration projects. Today more than 300 leading organizations trust us to make better decisions faster.

About the role

As a Starburst Data Customer Support Engineer, you will be responsible for supporting our SEP (Starburst Enterprise Platform) and Galaxy customers that submit break/fix and other technical inquiries. You will work on a wide range of support matters including but not limited to configuration, security, integration, and cluster issues to ensure our customers can maximize their experience with Starburst products. Additionally, this role serves as a liaison to ensure that customers receive appropriate and timely service.

We're looking for highly motivated individuals with backgrounds in deploying and debugging complex systems. Background in distributed systems, Hadoop, cloud technologies, security, DBMSs, and navigating a complex Java codebase are beneficial technical skills. Equally important are strong communication skills, and the ability to function in a fast-paced dynamic environment when needed.

Trino encompasses a wide range of technologies, therefore a curiosity to learn and explore various approaches and solutions is a must, and most important is the desire and ability to learn and work cross-functionally in a highly customer-success-oriented company.

Working hours are 11am PST - 8pm PST.

As a Customer Support Engineer at Starburst you will:

  • Respond to and resolve Galaxy & SEP customer inquiries via chat, email, or call session, within specified SLA windows
  • Contribute to our customer-facing self-serve knowledge base
  • Collaborate with our pre and post-sales teams to ensure cross-functional alignment and customer satisfaction
  • Enthusiastically participate in ongoing personal learning including active participation in team training and development
  • Escalate and manage escalated issues with Engineering to ensure good outcomes for our customers

Some of the things we look for:

  • Big Data (Hadoop, Data Lakes, Spark)
  • Docker and Kubernetes
  • Cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Security - Authentication (LDAP, OAuth2.0) and Authorization technologies
  • SSL/TLS
  • Linux Skills
  • DBMS Concepts/SQL Exposure Languages: SQL, Java, Python, Bash

We are solving exceptionally complex and meaningful challenges here and as we innovate, we each have the opportunity to build our careers alongside Starbursts's growth.

We take care of our global workforce by making sure employees enjoy competitive salaries and attractive stock grants, remote-friendly work options, flexible paid time off, and more
