Software Engineers in Support Engineering for Dynamic Languages are responsible for diagnosing and solving complex issues in large-scale multi-tiered applications written in Node.js, PHP, and Python, in addition to Ruby and GoLang, with some C/C++ on the side. We also touch on some SAP, IIB, and CICS as well.
As experts in AppDynamics' diverse set of offerings, from traditional APM to EUM, Analytics, IoT, and Machine Learning, we ensure that every customer's experience with those offerings is extremely positive and adds deep value, improving their own customers' experiences.
When a customer runs into an issue that is determined to be in the engineering space, we are the first to respond, diving into the problem, solving the issue and working with the product engineering team to identify & fix the root cause or provide interim workaround as needed.
As an AppD Software consulting Engineer in Support Engineering you'll need to be quick on your feet, agile, resourceful, and a great problem solver. You'll need to spot patterns, recognize problems, and be tenacious in digging into issues to get to the root cause.
In addition, we are customer advocates, developing a relationship with our customers, understanding their application architectures, and also their pain, and working to ensure that we, at AppD, do what we can to alleviate that pain.
The problem space we work in is constantly evolving. You will need to be ready to dodge and roll and come up standing with each new problem. You will be constantly learning new things, about our products, about our customers products, and about the state of the art in the technology world today including the latest frameworks, cloud technologies, and architectures-du-jour.
