About the Role
Technical Customer Support is our customers’ “hotline.” It is the department that has revolutionized the way we think about technical support: one-on-one, hands-on, and accountable from first contact to resolution — leaving customers with a positive impression and giving our developers and testers invaluable feedback from the field. Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) lets our customers verify the recoverability of their backups, recover instantly, and test upgrades in an isolated environment before moving to production. As a Technical Support Engineer, you are a trusted advisor to fellow IT professionals, using broad and in-depth troubleshooting skills and product knowledge to solve challenging technical issues across backup, virtualization, storage, networking, Windows, and Linux environments.

- Troubleshooting & Technical Analysis: Perform structured troubleshooting and log file analysis across common customer environments; troubleshoot both in Veeam and in third-party components from Microsoft and VMware; correct issues as break/fix scenarios and educate the customer; reproduce customer issues in lab environments when needed.
