THE ROLE
As a Senior Escalation Engineer, you will champion customer success by resolving the industry's most complex technical challenges.

Lead High-Stakes Resolutions: Resolve complex, multi-dimensional technical escalations involving hardware, software, and environmental factors, ensuring professional and concise communication during critical "hot" incidents.
Bridge the Engineering Gap: Collaborate directly with Engineering teams to triage defects, share field insights, and ensure technical knowledge trickles down to the broader support organization.
Cultivate Technical Excellence: Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) by creating internal and customer-facing technical documentation (FAQs/KBs) and delivering specialized training to mentor and grow the talent of the support team.
Own the Customer Experience: Proactively manage multiple high-severity projects simultaneously, representing Everpure externally while advocating for customer needs internally to influence product reliability.
Drive Operational Readiness: Participate in on-call rotations, including weekends and holidays as required, to provide seamless global support for our mission-critical storage solutions.
WHAT YOU BRING
Experience: Minimum four years experience in a customer-facing or technical support role.
Advanced Technical Troubleshooting: Expert-level ability to diagnose and resolve issues across complex multi-platform environments, including deep knowledge of Operating Systems (Linux/Windows), Networking protocols (DNS, TCP, FC, iSCSI), and Storage Area Networks (SAN/NAS).
Domain Expertise: Specialized proficiency in Active Cluster and core technologies such as Performance, asynchronous replication, and Purity software, with the ability to triage and escalate issues to Engineering with precision.
Strategic Communication: Proven track record of leading large, multi-participant customer calls and managing executive-level escalations with a focus on empathy, clarity, and technical authority.
Collaborative Leadership: Demonstrated ability to build strong cross-departmental networks and a passion for teaching others, transitioning complex technical concepts into actionable team knowledge.
