Responsibilities

Customer-Facing Support
Own inbound support tickets and live escalations for enterprise customers running workloads on our GPU/AI infrastructure
Triage and resolve technical issues across compute, networking, and platform layers, spanning both scheduling/orchestration problems and performance issues
Communicate clearly with technical customers under pressure - set expectations, give real status updates, close the loop
Hand off cleanly across timezones so customers never feel the seams of follow-the-sun coverage
Technical Troubleshooting & Escalation
Use monitoring and alerting tools to diagnose issues before or as customers report them
Escalate hardware, data-center, or facility-level issues to the right internal or external party (engineering, colo partners, hardware OEMs) with a clear, well-documented handoff
Serve as a first responder on incidents, working alongside engineering through to resolution
Process & Tooling
Work from and help improve runbooks, SOPs, and the knowledge base - flag gaps, don't just work around them

Genuinely care about getting the customer to a good outcome, not just closing the ticket
