What You Will Do

Investigation & Bug Management

  • Independently investigate escalated, non-playbook incidents using application logs, distributed traces, database queries, and source code — investigation goes all the way down to the code level when needed

  • Replicate production issues end-to-end and produce a clear, structured root cause document — covering the trigger, failure mechanism, blast radius, and business impact

  • Craft a well-reasoned solution recommendation based on the identified root cause and failure pattern — not just a workaround or a follow-up; a proposed fix direction that delivery teams can act on

  • Raise and document bugs with the precision and completeness that development teams need to move immediately — reproduction steps, log evidence, code-level findings, impact scope, and recommended solution approach

  • Work actively with delivery teams (Dev, QA, architects) to drive the proposed solution to production; own the closure loop — not just the escalation

Incident Response

  • Serve as the technical SME for incidents affecting your assigned services

  • Engage immediately during major incidents — correlate signals across observability platforms, perform log analysis, drive parallel investigation tracks, and execute workarounds within SLA

  • Participate in war room calls; contribute structured, evidence-based troubleshooting

AIOps & Observability

  • Use AIOps Observability platforms for deep-dive investigation — correlate APM traces, infrastructure metrics, log data, and anomaly signals to isolate root cause faster and with more precision

  • Identify gaps in service observability — missing monitors, unmapped services, incomplete trace coverage — and raise actionable recommendations to improve investigation capability across assigned services

  • Understand how alerts flow from observability tools into the incident pipeline; distinguish signal from noise during active incidents

Runbook & Knowledge Management

  • Own runbook and KB article coverage for all assigned services — current, accurate, and executable by L1

  • Produce post-incident documentation (impact, RCA, mitigation, updated runbook) after every major incident

  • Conduct knowledge transfer sessions to the L1 Technical Service Desk for newly documented playbooks

Automation & Tools Development

  • Identify and build automation solutions that reduce ticket volume and cut handling time

  • Develop tools using Python and scripting; contribute to internal automation platforms

Service Transition

  • Own the L2 side of Operational Readiness for new or enhanced products — participate in training, shadowing, and reverse-shadowing with development tribes

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent

  • At least 7 years in IT application support, SRE, DevOps, software development, or a related technical operations role

  • At least 3 years in a senior L2, L3, or equivalent production support role in a high-traffic, distributed, cloud-native environment

  • Demonstrated experience working independently — owning services, making technical decisions, and interfacing directly with senior engineers, architects, and business stakeholders without supervisory oversight

  • Hands-on experience with Unix/Linux, relational databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL), Kubernetes, and an ITSM platform

  • Demonstrated ability to read and navigate application source code to the level required for root cause analysis and solution formulation — prior software development, SRE, or DevOps experience is strongly preferred
