Job Description

About The Job Support Engineer

Were building a new 24/7 support engineering function and need technical experts who can debug complex cloud and Kubernetes issues. This is NOT traditional L1 support - youll work directly with our compute platform, requiring deep technical skills similar to a senior system admin.

Location: Remote

Start date: ASAP

Languages: English (required)

Hours: Must be available during APAC business hours for 24/7 coverage

About The Role

We are looking for someone who thrives on technical challenges, loves debugging complex systems, and can quickly understand how distributed platforms work. You should be the person who can take a vague customer complaint ("it doesnt work") and systematically narrow it down to the exact Kubernetes pod, configuration issue, or infrastructure problem.

This is an opportunity to work with cutting-edge compute platform technology while building out an entirely new function for the company.

Receive and investigate customer-reported issues with compute platform
Debug and troubleshoot complex Kubernetes environments (primarily self-hosted)
Master log analysis and issue reproduction
Navigate entire compute platform to identify root causes
Provide detailed technical findings to engineering teams
Work independently with full cluster access
Document issues and solutions for knowledge base
Escalate critical issues with comprehensive technical context

What Were Looking For

5+ years in technical support engineering, SRE, or platform engineering
Expert-level Kubernetes troubleshooting and debugging skills
Deep understanding of containerized applications and orchestration
Proficiency with cloud platforms (self-hosted Kubernetes focus)
Strong log analysis and debugging methodology
Ability to quickly learn complex distributed systems
Excellent problem-solving skills under pressure
Strong written communication for documentation
Self-motivated and able to work independently

Bonus Points

Coding ability (not required but helpful)
Experience with compute platforms or similar systems
Background in customer-facing technical roles
AWS/GCP/Azure certifications
Experience with monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)
Previous work in startup or fast-paced environments

Why This Role Will Pivot Your Career

This is NOT traditional support - youre essentially debugging like sys admin in the compute team
Full access to production Kubernetes clusters
Work directly with complex cloud infrastructure
Requires technical depth similar to platform engineers
No coding required, but must understand technical systems deeply
New role for the company - opportunity to shape the function
