About the role
- Customers' issues are resolved faster and escalated cleaner.
- Recurring problems turn into runbooks, dashboards, and alerts, not repeat tickets.
Responsibilities
- This is a customer support role, and the hours can be unconventional.
- We move quickly and decisively to innovate internally and deliver exceptional software externally.
- The role is to support our clients and ensure a stable environment across the full lifecycle: installation, ongoing upgrades, and day-to-day operation.
- The L2 Support Engineer works alongside L1 to triage and resolve issues, and escalates unresolved defects to engineering.
- Support ongoing upgrades and day-to-day operation, keeping customer environments stable.
- Build and maintain dashboards, monitors, and runbooks so recurring issues get faster to fix: or stop recurring.
- Fluent with an APM/observability stack (Datadog or equivalent): log queries, correlating across services by request/trace IDs, reading traces, and building dashboards and alerts.
Requirements
- Comfort inspecting queue depth, backlogs, and stuck/failed jobs
- comfort triaging on each OS (process inspection, filesystem, basic networking).
- Hold several candidate causes at once, run the cheapest disconfirming check first, and never claim a root cause or fix you haven't proven.
- Required Experience
Nice to have
- SQL / PostgreSQL.
- Query operational tables to confirm what the system recorded.
- Source-control platforms.
- GitHub Enterprise Server), Azure DevOps, and/or GitLab, clone/push/pull, access tokens, app credentials, and their failure modes.

- Helm and container deploy pipelines expected.
- ArgoCD is a plus.
