• Process Improvement: Contribute to retros and continuous improvement initiatives to optimise support workflows, reduce resolution times, and strengthen service quality.
• Proactive Monitoring & On-Call Support: Provide on-call support via PagerDuty when required and proactively monitor incidents to minimise downtime and customer impact.
