  • Troubleshoot front-end, back-end and integration failures.

Production Problem Solver

  • Support Incident, Problem and Change Management processes.
  • Handle major incidents and escalations when things get serious.
  • Track SLAs and help ensure production services remain reliable.
  • Work with Level 3 development and infrastructure teams when deeper technical intervention is required.

  • Troubleshoot authentication technologies such as SSO, LDAP and Active Directory.
  • Assist with releases, deployments and production changes.
  • Where required, perform code debugging, code fixes and deeper root-cause analysis.

Keep Things Under Control

  • Create and maintain standard operating procedures, runbooks and technical documentation.
  • Work according to ITIL and operational best practices.
  • Contribute to operational excellence initiatives.
  • Identify recurring problems and help reduce incidents before they happen.

Benefits

  • Global enterprise technology environments
  • Modern cloud platforms and infrastructure
  • Observability and monitoring technologies
  • Agile ways of working
  • Dynamic international collaboration
  • Remote and on-site flexibility
  • Modern, cutting-edge IT solutions
