• Analyzing: Use log analysis, system tools, and other sophisticated debugging methods to analyze problems and develop solutions to meet customer needs.

• Interfacing to the engineering and product teams: Interact directly with engineering to resolve escalated issues or provide feedback on common customer problems to the product teams. This may include reproducing issues, verifying fixes, testing of workarounds. Work together to provide solutions to the customer.

• Communications: Maintain clear, concise, and positive communication for all escalated issues in a timely and efficient manner including follow-ups with customers, team members, and engineers.

• Documentation: Develop and maintain detailed collections of appropriate reference materials, including documentation, knowledge base articles and how-to guides, which translate complex product information into simple, polished, and engaging content.
