So, what’s the role all about?
We're looking for a sharp, resourceful engineer to take on our toughest production problems on a cloud-based enterprise platform — a system of interconnected services running on Azure that ingests data from external sources. You'll be the person who diagnoses what others can't, gets to root cause fast, and ships a resolution customers can rely on.
This isn't a monitoring seat. It's closer to a forward-deployed role: you'll work directly with customers and product teams, understand how they actually use the platform, and solve real problems end to end. We're not looking for a superhero who claims to know everything — we want someone smart, curious, and driven, with a track record of building automations that make their own work, and their team's, faster and more reliable. If you reach for a script or an AI tool before doing the same task by hand a third time, you'll fit right in.
How will you make an impact?
- Own complex production incidents on our Azure-based platform — investigate, diagnose to root cause, and drive resolution across the services and external data integrations involved.
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with customers and R&D as a forward-deployed problem-solver: understand the real-world use case, reproduce the issue, and deliver a fix or workaround that sticks.
- Diagnose issues across the full stack — application telemetry and logs, REST APIs, database queries, and data-ingestion pipelines from external sources.
- Build automations — scripts, tools, and workflows — that eliminate repetitive work, speed up diagnosis, and stop incidents from recurring.
- Use and build with AI: apply AI-powered tools to accelerate troubleshooting, and bring hands-on knowledge of how AI solutions are developed to create smarter support tooling.
- Turn every hard-won fix into reusable knowledge — runbooks, KB articles, and SOPs the whole team can lean on.
- Escalate cleanly to Tier 4 / R&D when needed, with the diagnostic groundwork already done.
- Meet defined SLAs and KPIs, and participate in 24x7 rotational shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Have you got what it takes?
- 3–5 years diagnosing and resolving production issues in a cloud (ideally Azure) enterprise environment.
- Proven expertise troubleshooting live applications end to end: reading telemetry and logs (Application Insights, Kibana, Grafana, Azure Monitor), debugging REST APIs (Postman), and writing SQL to investigate data and establish root cause.
- A builder's instinct — concrete examples of automations you've created to make support work faster, more consistent, or less manual (Shell, PowerShell, Python, or similar).
- Working knowledge of AI development, not just AI usage — you understand how solutions built with AI and LLMs come together and can apply that to support tooling.
- Solid grasp of cloud-native web applications, microservices, and how data flows between integrated services and external sources.
- Comfort across Windows/Linux/Unix and the command line, and experience with ITSM tools such as ServiceNow, Jira, or Zendesk.
- Strong communication and a genuine go-getter mindset — you take ownership, chase problems down, and don't wait to be told.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (B.E/B.Tech/BS).
- Willingness to work in a 24x7 rotational support model.
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience with Azure AI Services, Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot, or building on enterprise AI/LLM platforms.
- Containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
- ITIL Foundation certification or working knowledge of ITIL processes.
