Why This Job Is Exciting

You will support Innovatrics’ biometric software running in production environments, with a primary focus on a long-term partner project in Kuala Lumpur and additional global customer support outside on-call rotations. You’ll be the first technical point of contact for incidents and requests, working with a structured support process and backing from HQ Bratislava & APAC team.

In your first month, you’ll
  • Learn the supported solution, customer context, and how our L1/L2/L3 support model works
  • Shadow ticket handling, environment checks, and incident troubleshooting in real production setups
  • Get onboarded into our tooling and documentation (Freshdesk, Jira, Confluence, monitoring/log platforms)
As you settle into the role, you’ll
  • Own customer tickets end-to-end: triage, investigation, updates, and resolution within SLA
  • Troubleshoot using logs, system behavior, and structured reproduction; escalate to L2/L3 when needed
  • Coordinate with HQ and local stakeholders during incidents (Support team, System Engineers, Solution Managers, ...)
Within your first year, you’ll
  • Resolve standard incidents independently and consistently according to the support process
  • Contribute to knowledge base and ticket hygiene (clear steps, root cause notes, reproducible findings)
  • Support stability: help minimize downtime through proactive checks, clean escalations, and follow-through
What You’ll Be Responsible For
  • Ticket ownership: analyze incidents, request missing info, reproduce issues, propose resolution steps
  • Customer communication: keep tickets up to date, communicate progress clearly via portal/email/calls
  • Operational support: monitoring, coordinating patches/changes in customer environments, and supporting troubleshooting sessions
  • Escalations & collaboration: involve System Engineers / Solution Managers / Engineering when needed, track progress
  • On-call participation: willingness to join scheduled 24/7 on-call rotations (project-dependent)
How Support Works at Innovatrics
  • L1: Support team (you) — triage, investigation, customer comms, ticket ownership (career level T1-T2 - Junior)
  • L2: System Engineers & Solution Managers — deeper troubleshooting, deployments, complex analysis
  • L3: Engineering — product-level fixes and advanced technical resolution
