Have you heard of BlueCat?
We’re one of those hidden gems that’s been disrupting the market as a key player in the rapidly growing space of Adaptive DNS. We harness the power of DNS to provide secure, centralized network infrastructure to some of the world’s biggest brands and enterprises like Facebook, Dell, and SAP so that employees can access the computing resources they need, when they need it. After years of experience, we moved into the security market, leveraging that goldmine of DNS data to help organizations protect their internal networks.
Right now you’re thinking ‘Great, so why is that interesting to me?’ Here’s why:

You will play an integral part in helping our customers avoid unplanned outages by providing proactive guidance and make recommendations for operational best practices, both at tactical and strategic levels.
In this role, a key element is ensuring the highest levels of Customer Engagement. Through regular touch points with your assigned customers, you will build deep relationships and use these relationships to drive conversations which ultimately help to assemble detailed profiles of our customers.

Communicate effectively with the BlueCat Engineering team with step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue and findings to identify root cause
