What You’ll Be Doing
- Troubleshooting and resolving technical support requests created by our customers spanning a growing range of developer-centric products, including managed applications, static sites, and content delivery solutions
- Contributing to internal documentation that provides your team with the resources they need to perform in their role and external documentation that allows our customers to self-serve
- Engaging customers and responding to technical questions received through our community Q&A forum
- Representing the voice of support, speaking on behalf of our customers through direct engagement with our product and engineering teams
What We’ll Expect From You
- Experience deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting NodeJS, Python, and PHP applications in production
- Knowledge of the CI/CD pipeline and GitHub repositories, actions, and deployment workflows
- Growth mindset, with an unrelenting focus on improving your knowledge and skill set
- Highly self-motivated with the ability to work independently and collaboratively with a high degree of autonomy in a remote work environment

- Bonus: Experience troubleshooting one or more database engines: MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB
Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean
- We value development. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that is always challenging ourselves to continuously grow. We maintain a growth mindset in everything we do and invest deeply in employee development through formalized mentorship, LinkedIn Learning tracks, and other internal programs. We also provide all employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education.
- We care about your physical, financial and mental well-being. We offer a monthly gym reimbursement to support your physical health, and a monthly commute allowance to make your trips to and from work easier.
- We support our remote employee experience. While we have great office spaces in NYC, Cambridge, Palo Alto and Bangalore, we’re very distributed—we use a number of communication tools to connect across the company—and all remote employees have the opportunity to visit our offices and meet their teams face-to-face at team offsites. We also have an annual company offsite, Shark Week, to get quality in-person time with the entire company at least once a year.
- We value diversity and inclusivity. We are an equal opportunity employer and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
