About the role
- This role will be part of a team that develops software interfaces with all the major TV streaming providers, and downloads tens of thousands of movies and TV shows from US and international platforms. This team is at the heart of Nielsen’s streaming measurement strategy, and is continually updating their software to adjust to the quickly evolving streaming environment.

The Support Engineer will be responsible for troubleshooting issues, following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and escalating to the development team when necessary. The position requires basic Unix shell scripting and SQL skills, with knowledge of Python as a plus. This role requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure timely and effective issue resolution, driving operational stability and enhancing customer satisfaction.
- In this role, you will debug and attempt to resolve issues independently using SOPs.

Your goal will be to ensure efficient handling of support requests and to continuously improve SOPs for recurring issues.

Execute SOPs to troubleshoot and resolve recurring issues, ensuring adherence to documented procedures. Use basic Unix shell scripting to automate repetitive tasks and streamline support operations. Leverage basic SQL skills to query data, analyze logs, and assist in debugging issues. Escalate unresolved issues to the development team and provide clear documentation of troubleshooting steps taken. Document and maintain up-to-date SOPs, troubleshooting guides, and technical support documentation. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure issues are tracked, escalated, and resolved efficiently. Proactively identify and suggest process improvements to enhance support quality and response times.
