Overview

Do you want to work on cutting-edge projects with the world’s best IT engineers? Do you wish you could control which projects to work on and choose your own pay rate? Are you interested in the future of work and how the cloud will form teams? If so - this is the role for you.

Our clients rely on our Network for two main areas, Software Development and Cloud Services. In some cases, they need help building great new products, in others they want our expertise in migrating, maintaining, and optimizing their cloud solutions.

At Gigster, whether working with entrepreneurs to realize ‘the next great vision’ or with Fortune 500 companies to deliver a big product launch, we build really cool enterprise software on cutting-edge technology.

We are seeking SRE Support Engineers based in Europe to work on an exciting project with one of our largest clients. 

You would work on United Kingdom Time office hours, so if it makes sense to you, please continue reading our job description!
 
Successful candidates can provide a wide range of services from “white glove” onboarding to creating informational posts on the community support platform, and everything in between. Additionally, SRE Support Engineers will actively participate in developing the support tools and process, so we are looking for someone with the maturity to understand what it takes to scale in services.

    • Your expertise and discretion will be required to think outside the box and resolve highly complex issues creatively and effectively.
    • Work hours are from 8 AM to 5 PM United Kingdom time, Monday to Friday. While there is no on-call, if there’s any maintenance during the weekend you will need to be available, and then you'll get time off to compensate for that.
