Summary Generated by Built In

At DNSFilter we are making workplaces more secure through protective DNS and advanced content filtering—and we need your help! We’ve come a long way over the past few years. In 2021 we had a successful $30 million Series A funding round, in 2022 we became the fastest DNS security tool on the planet and acquired the privacy-focused VPN Guardian, and in 2023 we extended our Series A by $15M and added more global points of presence to our anycast network! 

As we continue our product-fueled growth by adding new features and broadening our solution to meet the needs of the global market, it's clear there's a missing piece. That's where you come in!

We are looking for a self-driven Tier 2 Technical Support Engineer located in Australia to support our customers in the APAC region. This person will dig deep to unearth the root cause of technical issues and not just address the symptoms. While we expect you to have broad technical knowledge, having solid competency with networking, routing, DNS, and TCP/IP protocols is a must. 

We recognize that people come with a wealth of experience and talent beyond just the technical requirements of a job. If you feel like this job is for you, please apply. We believe diversity of experience and skills, including transferable skills, combined with passion is a key to innovation and excellence; therefore we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply to our positions!

  • Use your initiative to proactively find ways to improve the customer experience.
  • Escalate tickets to the Technical Team Lead or Development as needed.
  • Act as a point of escalation for Tier-1 Support Engineers needing assistance with advanced issues in tickets.
  • Engage in a collaborative environment to provide feedback, suggestions, and support to colleagues.
  • Working hours - 7 PM to 4 AM EST
  • Join in on 24/7 on-call rotations

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in a SaaS Technical Support role.
  • 2+ years of experience as an MSP Support Engineer.
  • Technical competence in networking, routing, DNS, and TCP/IP protocols.
  • Proven experience in a technical support role, focusing on DNS filtering or network security products.
  • Excellent customer service skills with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical users.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently under pressure to resolve customer issues swiftly.
  • Ability to take initiative and adapt to changing priorities and technologies in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to join a 24/7 on-call rotation, including working hours from 7 PM to 4 AM EST to support our APAC customers.
  • Experience with ticketing systems and customer relationship management (CRM) tools.
  • Experience providing technical support to enterprise customers.
  • Experience working remotely.
  • Familiarity with roaming clients, Remote Management and Monitoring (RMM) tools, Hyper-V, Azure, Active Directory, and/or virtualization.
