Technical Support Engineer - Emea


The GitHub Technical Support team is looking for full-time team members located in Europe! This person will join GitHub as part of our global support team and support our customers around the world.

Responsibilities

GitHub users work 24/7, so you’ll be expected to work some weekends and holidays. And though we support flexibility to let you take care of the important things in your life, you’re expected to work during the normal working hours of your timezone.

When GitHub users have questions, they contact Support and we help them as quickly and awesomely as possible. Technical support handles a wide variety of inquiries including questions surrounding Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions, GitHub Packages, and our Ecosystem. Support also works closely with the engineering team to track down bugs and improve our documentation.

The most important characteristic of our support team is that we love helping developers. GitHub is a place for people to work better, together. Our job is to help. Support treats users the way we’d want someone to treat our friends.

Our support teammates have excellent writing chops: stellar grammar, charming written personality, and the ability to explain complicated things simply. We measure our success in swiftness, accuracy, and clarity.
