Job Description

About the opportunity

Wavelo is an emerging leader in the SaaS space. We have the tech, the talent, and a history of innovation in the industry. Our two outstanding product offerings are ISOS (Internet Service Operating System) and MONOS (Mobile Network Operating System). These products connect and orchestrate subscriber management, provisioning of fiber and wireless internet (WISP) and mobile network service, rates and usage monitoring, customer support, network performance and field operations. At Wavelo, the orchestration between the various tools is handled via event-driven architecture. This offers the advantages of traditional OSS/BSS software - it is faster, easier to modify and expand, allows for plug-and-play with other best-of-class software, and handles scale at lower cost better than traditional architecture.

Are you looking to join a tightly-knit Agile startup environment?

As a Software Support Engineer, you'll be joining a multi-disciplinary team, working to deliver efficient results and exceed customer expectations. You will act as the main technical point of contact for our client(s), to resolve their needs and issues. For each issue, you will complete a comprehensive analysis to find opportunities to implement solutions. You will be responsible for identifying and validating critical issues alongside the Development and Engineering teams. Further, this role is responsible for creating, developing, and gathering support requirements to provide exceptional service to our clients by bridging the gap between customers and the team at Wavelo.

This is necessary to understand a customer’s issue, develop potential workarounds, and work with the organization to log defects and communicate software releases. Software Support Engineers need to be able to work in several testing environments, and to work in multifaceted customer environments.

If this sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you!

• Collaborate with our engineers and developers to participate in debugging, API integration, root cause analysis.
