- Contribute to knowledge base articles and support tools to enhance self-service capabilities for customers.
- Continuously learn new technologies and expand your understanding of Yugabyte’s ecosystem.
- Participate in a global on-call rotation, providing after-hours and weekend support when assigned.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong technical foundation in at least one of the following: databases, distributed systems, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), Linux/Unix administration, or programming/scripting (Python, Bash, Java, etc.).
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to learn new systems quickly.
- Strong communication skills — both written and verbal — to interact effectively with technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proactive, customer-first mindset, with patience and persistence when resolving issues.
- Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment while collaborating across global teams.
- Willingness to work Central Time Zone business hours.
Nice to Have (but not required)

- Familiarity with open-source software and community-driven projects.
- Knowledge of PostgreSQL or other relational databases.
Why Join Us?
- Work on cutting-edge database technology used by top enterprises worldwide.
- Collaborative, growth-oriented team culture that values learning and innovation.
