We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.
The Role
Skytap, recently acquired by Kyndryl, as Product/SaaS based company is searching for a talented and passionate Support Engineer to join our growing Customer Success team. Our Support Team is uniquely respected by our customers as well as our Engineering and Product Management Teams for being collaborative, knowledgeable, and going above and beyond to make our customers successful.
Skytap Cloud modernizes the infrastructure, processes, and architecture of traditional enterprise applications. Our service enables enterprises to migrate their core applications to the cloud unchanged—from the operating system to unique networking topologies. Once in Skytap Cloud, our customers improve business agility by parallel processing development and testing, modernizing the technology and processes used to create and enhance their most valuable applications. Hundreds of enterprise customers use Skytap Cloud to accelerate release cycles, deliver new features faster, release higher quality software, and optimize IT costs.
The role of Support Engineer is critical for Kyndryl, consisting of front-line customer support and helping triage difficult customer issues. This position is primarily responsible for supporting existing customers to ensure their continued success with Kyndryl. We do whatever it takes to make that happen: this includes fielding cases by email, phone call, and screen sharing. While our primary role is post-sales customer success, we also work with the pre-sales teams to onboard new customers, and get them settled into our amazing, unique product.
Case topics range greatly in variety: any Operating System that can be virtualized and run in VMware or IBM Power platform can run in Skytap Cloud. The onus is on us to not only prove that an issue a customer may be experiencing is not related to a Kyndryl problem, but to also go above and beyond to ensure that issue is resolved. Thus, you may be a Linux expert today, and a Windows expert tomorrow. The possibilities are truly endless!
The role provides a wide variety of challenges, new and exciting things to learn and problems to solve every day!
