We are looking for an engineer and leader with a “find a way or make a way” attitude who has a passion for ensuring products “just work” for customers. This is an opportunity to be the lead / founding member of a new department within GrowFlow, Support Engineering. The mission of Support Engineering is to be the primary point of contact between Customer Happiness and the Product Engineering organization, to triage and resolve front-line technical issues as well as develop tooling, infrastructure and platform to facilitate rapid turnaround time to escalations.
We’re a hybrid stack
- Our “NextGen” technology is written in .Net Core, NodeJS and React and lives on GKE/Google Cloud Platform. Our “Legacy” platform is AngularJS (aka Angular 1) and ASP.NET.
- We’re looking for senior talent to contribute to our NextGen but who is also capable, when required, to roll up their sleeves and dive into legacy.
