Job Training Program

The Zscaler Focal Support (FS) team is built around the proven concept of a small group (pod) of support engineers that are very technically competent and familiar with both the technology deployed by a customer and the people maintaining it. As a Focal Support Engineer you will earn the trust of your customers and deliver a superior support experience, being well positioned to respond faster and more effectively to any technical issues that might arise for customers under your care. A pod works in partnership with the assigned Technical Account Managers (TAMs) and account teams for a small number of customers to provide a personalized, high touch and extremely knowledgeable response to technical questions and problems. As an FS engineer, you will know your customer's history and will understand why certain features are being used and avoid recommendations that don't work in their environment or align with their roadmap. Unlike a regular front line support engineer, an FS engineer's ratings will bias on team performance over individual performance. Of course, individual performance is still important and providing deliverables like team technical training, on-call coverage and high CSAT scores will be part of an individual's annual review process. However the performance of the team represents the most important metrics and each FS engineer contributes to this in a very meaningful way. The pod is focused on continuously building customer trust in our product for mission critical infrastructure. You will be a valuable member of a high performance team delivering technical solutions to some of the largest enterprises in the world!
