📋 Description

• Oversee the entire ticket lifecycle from initial triage to verified production deployment. • Ensure all incoming escalations are immediately assigned to an owner with zero gaps in response times. • Enforce a structured assessment of every issue to verify reproducibility, severity, workarounds, and whether it is a true defect or a feature gap. • Organize and optimize the rolling, staggered schedule for engineers rotating into the squad from feature teams. • Ensure rotating engineers maintain full ownership of their assigned tickets until resolved, even after their rotation cycle ends. • Guide the rotating team through deep-dive debugging of the Actian Data Intelligence Platform. • Lead the engineering response during critical, high-severity platform outages to drive rapid resolution. • Act as the primary link between Engineering, Support, Customer Success, and Product teams, joining customer calls when high-level technical input is needed. • Track and report on key operational metrics (Response Time, Qualification Time, Ready State) to eliminate bottlenecks. • Track fixes through the CI/CD pipeline to confirm they are successfully deployed live to production.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong background in Software Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Tier 3 Support Engineering, ideally working with complex SaaS architectures, data platforms, or distributed systems. • Exceptional proactive behavior. You do not wait for things to happen; you anticipate bottlenecks, push through complexity, and exhibit a relentless sense of accountability. • Proven experience managing high-pressure situations, production outages, and critical enterprise customer escalations with calm, decisive, and communicative leadership. • Deep expertise in issue tracking workflows (Jira), version control development panels (GitHub), CI/CD pipelines, and modern monitoring tools. • Exceptional verbal and written English communication skills. Ability to translate deeply technical anomalies into clear business impact for both internal executives and enterprise clients. • Savvy on using AI for detecting and triaging incidents.

🏖️ Benefits

• The chance to be part of an innovative, fast-growing company making a significant impact in the data management space. • Collaboration with a passionate and diverse team. • Competitive salary and benefits package. • Flexible work arrangements (remote or hybrid). • Opportunities for professional growth and development.
