About The Position

Feathr's SaaS platform is a critical component of the value we deliver to our clients. Feathr's Product Support Engineer will help us grow and maintain the technical components that allow us to meet the advertising, marketing, and web analytics needs of our diverse customer base. A Product Support Engineer at Feathr has a demonstrated interest and proficiency in web development. You will work under the direction of the Director of Product on backend and frontend technical challenges. Engineers at Feathr own their code from planning to maintenance to retirement - you will work with internal and external stakeholders to develop requirements and design technical solutions, collaborate with your engineering colleagues to implement those solutions, deploy and monitor your changes in production and address issues as they are identified. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys the technical side of things and also likes explaining a technical subject to a non-technical audience. You will need the ability both to investigate technical problems and communicate them to others. When someone has a challenge, they come to us. This is a technical position working closely with both our Support and Engineering Teams to solve technical issues. This role requires the creativity and skills to implement both immediate triage and longer-term solutions.
