Technical Support Engineer

Quicknode is a cloud-based infrastructure company that powers the blockchain ecosystem.

Our mission is to be the indispensable utility that empowers companies and innovators globally to build next-generation, Web3 enabled businesses & applications using blockchain technology. Quicknode is backed by some of the world's best investors including Tiger Global, Y Combinator, SoftBank, and the Seven Seven Six Fund. The Quicknode team has over 110 people maintaining high performance global data infrastructure for amazing customers serving billions of requests daily.

We are a global remote company with offices in Fort Lauderdale, FL and Lisbon, Portugal.

As a Technical Support Engineer, you will be working on everything from answering simple support requests from potential customers about our service to setting up a local proxy to debug outgoing Web3 requests. You will be responsible for ensuring that we provide resolutions to customers quickly and when that is not possible, translate customer hardships into actionable items for our developer team to fix. Our network is servicing more than 10 billion requests per month, so you will be crucial in debugging the core issues customers are having with the use of custom software, off-the-shelf tooling, and more. You won’t be alone because we expect every Engineer to spend time on customer support, on a rotating basis, to understand our customers better.

We’re looking for a self-starter, who is communication-focused with a deep sense of ownership and a team mentality to collaborate on achieving high-quality customer experience. We’re looking for an individual who does not need constant supervision to track issues, reproduce customer issues, etc. You can expect to meet on a daily basis to go over customer issues, task progress and design solutions.
