Support Specialist

Virtasant is a leading cloud consulting services provider. We heavily focus on lift & shift, cloud-native development, cloud cost optimization, and migration services. As a consulting company, we often face the challenge of creating an engineering team in a matter of a week or two. To do that, we have created a secondary support business that runs a talent network and provides staffing services.

• Continuous Learning: Stay up-to-date with product updates, new features, and industry best practices to provide the most accurate support to customers.
