The Customer Engineering team at KOMOJU is quite unique - it’s not about promoting our product or managing customer complaints. We do any engineering work that helps us better serve our customers. This involves debugging, contributing to code development, creating an internal knowledge base, writing customer communications, collecting feedback on procedures, and updating internal systems.
The primary responsibility of the Full-stack Customer Engineer is to promptly resolve customer-reported issues in collaboration with the Customer Success team. As part of your regular duties, you will monitor our internal systems and promptly respond to any requests for technical assistance. In response to the request, you will engage in comprehensive engineering activities such as analysing logs, replicating customer-reported issues, debugging, implementing solutions, modifying our codebase, and enhancing our offerings.
The ideal candidates for us are those who excel in a dynamic environment and are consistently seeking ways to enhance the customer experience. We are seeking an individual who is self-motivated and versatile, with a passion for problem-solving and technical research, a willingness to engage in engineering tasks to solve problems directly, and a talent for making quick, well-informed decisions under pressure.
