*Customer Support Engineer, remote/ hybrid, Melbourne Australia*
Fastly's goal of creating the best set of tools for people who scale the internet is rooted in great support. It's a core value, and something that shapes our culture.

  • Demonstrated understanding of one or more programming languages
  • Demonstrated understanding of Unix / Linux environment
  • Ability to debug network and protocol using cURL, traceroute, nc or other network diagnostic tools

  • Demonstrated self-starter, showing curiosity and motivation without being pushed
  • Japanese read/write capabilities
