ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a Platform Support Engineer to join our global 24/7 support team. You will be the front-line custodian of our customer experience, providing technical support across all areas of the Zinier platform. This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who enjoy debugging, problem-solving, and direct customer engagement, with clear pathways to grow into senior technical or customer-centric roles.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Monitor and respond to customer requests across email, chat, and phone within defined SLAs.
• Diagnose and resolve L1/L2 technical issues, including workflow misconfigurations, API failures, and data discrepancies.
• Investigate logs, trace workflow execution paths, and analyse JSON payloads to isolate breaking logic.
• Resolve simple-to-complex requests independently; escalate appropriately when required, with clear documentation of findings.
• File production deployment requests on behalf of customers, coordinating with internal teams.
• Identify gaps in knowledge-base articles and contribute new documentation to reduce repeat queries.
• Maintain Zinier's high standards for customer communication and response-time adherence.
• Engage actively in product and technical training to deepen platform knowledge.
• Participate in on-call rotations and occasional weekend support as required by shift patterns.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field with 0-2 years of experience in technical support or a related role.
• Hands-on proficiency with JavaScript, JSON, HTML, and CSS for debugging and configuration analysis.
• Familiarity with log analysis, REST APIs, and basic SQL queries.
• Knowledge of operating systems, cloud services, and multi-tier web application architecture.
• Experience with ticketing systems (e.g., Jira) and remote support tools.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage stakeholders at varying levels of technical expertise.
• Strong analytical mindset and customer-first orientation.
• Willingness to work weekends and 24/7 on-call rotations.

DESIRABLE SKILLS

• Exposure to Grafana or similar monitoring/observability tools.
• Experience with workflow-based or field-service management systems.
• Knowledge of Java, Python, or JEE frameworks.
• ITIL V3/V4 certification or equivalent foundation in service management.
• User-level familiarity with Linux environments.

WHY JOIN US

• Unique opportunity to form a front-facing layer that not only is the front-line to customer deployments, but also has the ability to work closely with Solution Architects and others to influence Product blueprints.
• Work across the full tech stack — from debugging backend services(Java, spring boot) to exploring front-end interfaces built with React and extending into mobile UI development.
• Build internal tools, fix production issues, and contribute to engineering stability, all while learning from experienced platform, product and solution engineers.
• Be part of a high-impact team that bridges engineering and customer experience, where your work helps improve both product quality and customer trust.
• Join a company that values learning, ownership, and long-term growth.
• This role is aligned to the SDE1 capability level. High performers progress to:
  • Senior Platform Support Engineer
  • Tech Lead, Platform Support
  • Team Lead, Platform Support
