• Independently diagnose and resolve complex, multi-system issues across application, integration, platform, and data layers, including code-level investigation across Java back-end and JavaScript/HTML front-end applications and event flows.
• Act as a senior escalation point for incidents that exceed generalist L3 support capabilities by forming and testing hypotheses, analyzing technical evidence, and isolating root causes under production conditions.
• Partner directly with core platform engineering to reproduce complex issues, identify failing components, provide complete and reproducible technical context, and validate permanent fixes.
• Trace and analyze API and integration flows using application code, technical documentation, and flow diagrams. Build or enhance scripts, queries, and diagnostic tools as needed to improve investigation and resolution.
• Perform log-driven investigations using OpenSearch/DQL or similar technologies and leverage platform data to support incident analysis, decision-making, and technical solutions.
• Lead root-cause analysis and problem-management activities, partnering with engineering to define corrective actions and reduce issue recurrence, customer impact, and mean time to resolution (MTTR).
• Create and maintain specialist runbooks, debugging playbooks, troubleshooting guides, knowledge articles, and diagnostic tools to improve the consistency and efficiency of technical support.
• Mentor and support other technical support engineers through case reviews, technical documentation, knowledge sharing, and coaching on investigation methodologies.
• Support operational readiness for new features, functionality, integrations, markets, migrations, and platform changes by validating expected behavior, identifying operational risks, and supporting successful rollout and handover.
• Partner with Product Management, Engineering, and wider operational teams to support the delivery of new functionality across promotional tools, game engines, and core platform capabilities.
• Maintain a high level of technical ownership within assigned product domains and promote continuous improvement across the support organization.
