About the Opportunity:  

Toppan Merrill has an exciting opportunity for a Production Support Software Engineer to join our growing Technology team.  We are looking for a Software Engineer with a strong analytical mindset to join our team and play a crucial role in investigating and resolving critical production issues in our SaaS platform. This platform consists of multiple applications and services built with Angular, Material UI, Python, Node.js, .NET, MongoDB, and MSSQL.  

You will work as part of an existing squad, contributing to feature development and enhancements while also being the go-to person for diagnosing and troubleshooting complex production issues when they arise. Rather than just 'support,' this role is about problem-solving, debugging, and making an impact on the stability and performance of our platform.  

Job Responsibilities:  

• Investigate, document, and resolve critical production issues, collaborating with developers, QA, DevOps, and product teams.  

• Analyze logs, debug code, and trace requests across our distributed system to identify root causes.  

• Improve system reliability by identifying patterns and proposing long-term fixes to prevent recurring issues.  

• Develop tools and automation to speed up debugging and incident resolution.  

• Contribute to development tasks, including bug fixes, optimizations, and new features.  

• Enhance observability and monitoring, ensuring we proactively detect and respond to issues before they escalate.  

• Communicate effectively with internal stakeholders to provide timely updates and resolutions.  

About You:  

• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills in complex systems.  

• Experience with Angular, Python (required), Node.js, MSSQL, and MongoDB

• Experience with FastAPI, Flask or Django

• Knowledge of logs analysis, monitoring tools, and distributed tracing (e.g., ELK, Datadog, Prometheus, or similar).  

• Understanding of REST APIs, microservices architecture, and asynchronous processing.  

• Ability to write scripts or tools to automate investigative workflows.  

• Experience working with cloud-based environments (Azure) with Kubernetes is a plus.  

• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset—you're the kind of person who enjoys digging deep to find the root cause.  

• Comfortable collaborating in a fast-paced, agile development environment.  

We understand that your skills deserve recognition. That's why we offer a competitive pay scale ranging from $110,000 to $120,000 annually, based on experience and expertise. We believe in compensating our dedicated team members fairly for their hard work and commitment. Please note that actual salaries may vary within, above, or below this range based on factors such as education, training, experience, professional achievement, business needs, and location.
