- Lead root cause investigations across key platforms and data
- Partner with Product & Engineering to improve system stability and delivery
- Drive automation, reduce repeat issues, and improve how we operate
- Enable offshore teams and keep delivery moving at pace
About you
You’re a hands-on problem solver with a product mindset — focused on outcomes, not just fixes. You’re comfortable in complex environments, confident working with data, and always looking to improve how things work. You care about building scalable, reliable systems and delivering a better experience for users. You will also:
- Have strong experience in application support, escalations, and incident management
