The Role 

As a Senior Customer Success Engineer (Sr. CSE), your role drives customer satisfaction and success. Your solid relationship-building skills and extensive expertise enable you to establish trust and rapport with customers, ensuring their needs are met and exceeded.

One of your key strengths lies in your ability to effectively assess and analyze customer problems.

This allows you to provide timely and efficient solutions, minimizing potential downtime or disruption for our customers.

In addition to your technical proficiency, you excel in communication. You serve as the primary point of contact during incidents as a bridge between the customer and the rest of the team. Your ability to lead technical calls and collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as Product & Engineering and Implementation teams, empowers you to advocate for process and platform improvements that benefit both the customer and the company.

Furthermore, you possess natural mentoring and leadership abilities. You guide and develop other Customer Success Engineers, sharing your platform knowledge and expertise to enhance their skills and performance. Your dedication to providing training and documentation for team members ensures that knowledge is shared and easily accessible, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

As a Senior Customer Success Engineer, your high-level performance consistently demonstrates an understanding of success metrics. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and excel with minimal direction and oversight. Your ability to handle on-call emergency tickets, resolve complex Drupal, WordPress and platform-related questions, and participate in the Customer Success Engineer on-call rotation showcase your dedication and commitment to customer success.
