What you will do:

- Perform health checks, monitoring and performance analysis; identify risks and recurring issues, and drive preventive actions for stability and customer experience.
- Maintain problem records and knowledge-base articles; participate in major-incident RCA and follow through on corrective and preventive actions.
- Support software updates, patches and hot fixes through impact checks, test/pre-production validation, implementation support and post-change follow-up.
- Work with Global Support, Market Area teams and Product Development Units on complex tickets, escalations and product defects.
- Analyze capacity, performance and stability; recommend improvements and present incident trends, risks and service actions in customer reviews.
- Contribute to continuous improvement, automation and best-practice sharing.
- Follow Ericsson security, compliance, quality, service-delivery, health and safety requirements, plus customer site rules.
- Join on-call/standby and 24/7 shifts, including weekends and public holidays as required and in line with business needs and local regulations.
The skills you bring:
- Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications, Computer Science, IT or equivalent; typically 3+ years in telecom operations/support, ideally charging or BSS and preferably customer support.
- Strong knowledge of Ericsson Charging or equivalent online/offline systems: OCS/IN/SDP, rating, balance management, voucher/recharge and tariff structures.
- Telecom/protocol knowledge: IP networking, Diameter, SS7/SCCP, SIGTRAN, CAMEL/INAP, HTTP/REST, SOAP and TCP/UDP.
- Hands-on Linux/UNIX, scripting (Bash, Python or Perl) and database concepts/experience (SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL or similar).
- Experience with telecom log/tracing, monitoring and ticketing tools, including OSS/NMS, alarms, KPIs, and incident/problem management.
- Experience with cloud/virtualized environments (VMware, OpenStack, Kubernetes or containers) and their impact on charging; exposure to 5G Core, digital services, and modern charging and policy concepts.
- Analytical, end-to-end troubleshooting and prioritization skills; attention to detail and ability to manage parallel issues under time pressure.
- Customer-focused communicator and collaborative teammate, able to share knowledge and work across multicultural, virtual and distributed EMEA/global teams.
