Escalation Engineer; Tier 3

At Nerdio, our mission is to simplify the lives of IT professionals and maximize their Microsoft cloud and end user computing investments.

We support organizations of all sizes looking to deploy, manage, and cost-optimize native Microsoft technologies. We partner with Enterprises and Managed Service Providers all over the world to add value on top of their existing native Microsoft investments like Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, and Microsoft Intune.

Created in 2016, Nerdio has always taken a market-leading and collaborative approach to cloud deployment and management. In fact, our product roadmap is greatly influenced by the regular feedback we receive from having seen companies deploy AVD into production environments several thousand times using Nerdio technology.

Today, Nerdio is used in over 50 countries by more than 15,000 organizations of every size and vertical. We’re committed to delivering exceptional service and support, which starts with identifying and supporting the best staff possible.

We are a fast-moving, nimble company looking for individuals who are collaborative, empathetic, driven and who love to move at the speed of light. If you want to be part of the AVD transformation that Microsoft and Nerdio are leading, then we want to speak with you.

When the hardest problems land in Nerdio's support queue, the Escalation Engineer is who they land with. This is a Tier 3 role built for engineers who thrive on deep investigation and tracing complex customer issues to their root cause and seeing them through to resolution.

You’ll operate at the top of the support chain, partnering closely with Tier 1 and Tier 2 engineers and collaborating directly with Product and Engineering when issues demand it. Just as important as solving hard problems yourself is raising the floor for the whole team through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and making the next issue easier to close.
