About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer-Support with a strong blend of data and software engineering skills. You will be responsible for supporting production environments, troubleshooting customer deployments, and implementing proactive monitoring and operational improvements.

• Work closely with customer teams to understand production incidents, reproduce issues, and implement reliable fixes or workarounds.
• Analyze data failures, system errors, and unexpected behaviours across API integrations, custom code, and third-party data sources.
• Maintain and improve the reliability and performance of existing data pipelines by proactively identifying bottlenecks, configuration mismatches, or usage anomalies.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to escalate platform issues, suggest improvements, and contribute to long-term resolutions.

Advanced and Enterprise-Level Support

• Serve as the technical point of contact for customer support cases, particularly complex and high-priority issues.
• Perform in-depth troubleshooting and diagnostics, including custom code reviews and third-party data source integrations.
• Engage in regular case reviews, root cause analyses, and progress updates aligned with customer SLAs.
• Participate in on-call rotations to ensure 24/7 coverage and rapid response to critical issues.
• Implement and manage proactive monitoring and alerting systems to detect and address issues before they escalate.

Customer Enablement & Knowledge Sharing

• Create clear documentation, “how-to” guides, and knowledge base articles to accelerate issue resolution and reduce repeat tickets.
• Work closely with internal product and engineering teams to relay customer feedback and prioritize product improvements.

Skills And Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related fields.
• 3+ years in a data-intensive, customer-facing role with experience in technical support in a SaaS or Data platform environment, ideally in a Tier 2/3 or engineering-focused support function.
• Strong programming skills in Python and SQL; experience working with REST APIs.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, GCP), Kubernetes, and CI/CD tools.
• Experience maintaining production-grade data pipelines and workflows in live customer environments.
• Knowledge of industrial data systems or domains such as Oil & Gas, Power, or Manufacturing is a plus.
• Experience with tools like Grafana, Power BI, or GraphQL is a bonus.
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent English communication skills and a customer-centric mindset.

What We Offer
