Customer Support Engineer - US West
The Fastly Edge Cloud Platform powers the best of the internet, and our Customer Support Engineering (CSE) team plays a pivotal role within our Customer Experience organization. This position is for a Customer Support Engineer, Tier I, an entry-level role within our three-tiered team (Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III), presenting various opportunities for career advancement at Fastly.
We are looking for a technical expert to assist our customers utilizing our delivery and compute platforms. This position demands a solid grasp of internet protocols and the capability to offer guidance on code updates that influence traffic at the network edge. You will not manage general IT or security (WAF/DDoS) tickets; rather, you will be the definitive authority on VCL logic, serverless compute, and the Fastly Control Panel.
What You Will Do:
Edge troubleshooting: Analyze customer configurations and debug VCL logic and Compute (Wasm) applications, enhancing cache hit ratios and manipulating HTTP headers.
Control Panel expertise: Assist customers with the Fastly Control Panel, RBAC configurations, and custom observability dashboards.
Rapid customer support: Address technical inquiries through email, chat, and Slack, targeting a first response time (FRT) of under 30 minutes.
Customer advocacy and ongoing learning: Go beyond merely resolving tickets by educating customers on edge architecture and troubleshooting techniques. Actively pursue new mitigation strategies and triage tips, sharing your insights and enhancing our documentation.
