Role Description:
At Defense Unicorns, we build software for environments where failure isn't an option — and our customers expect support to match. As a Support Engineer, you're not reading from a script or routing tickets into a void. You're the person who actually understands what's broken, why it's broken, and how to fix it. You'll work directly with technical customers to troubleshoot complex issues across Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD pipelines — and when something needs to go to engineering, you'll hand it off with enough context that they can move fast. If you like hard problems, honest conversations, and work that actually matters, you'll fit right in.
Responsibilities:
As a primary technical contact for customer issues, you will own problems from the first report through resolution. You'll work hands-on with customer environments, partner closely with engineering and our Customer Success Team when escalations warrant it, and continuously improve the systems and documentation that make the whole support function better.
