You will work directly with Datadog’s Premier Customer base, and will be immersed in a fast-paced environment where you will be challenged, but will also immediately witness your contributions to Datadog and to our customers.

• Participate in routine health check meetings with Premier Customers
• Work from a Datadog office 3 - 5 days per week

Who You Are:

• Experienced in multi-channel technical support at a SaaS company (2+ years of related experience)
• A tinkerer with some programming experience and a basic knowledge of Linux
• Self-motivated, detail-attentive, and have a desire for continuous learning

• A decision maker but know when the decision should be escalated
• Have been in a Premium/Enterprise technical support role previously
• Knowledgeable of current infrastructure and monitoring solutions and technologies
• Able to work a rotating schedule that requires weekend availability
