You’ll work at the intersection of Kubernetes, containers, and low-level Linux troubleshooting, engaging directly with engineers to resolve issues that often require deep system understanding. This is not generic L1/L2 support, it’s high-trust technical engineering work with some of the most innovative developers in the industry. Key Responsibilities Platform & Customer Support Support internal customers using the compute platform through: High-touch white-glove onboarding Slack/community forum and ticketing system responses Deep technical troubleshooting Act as the first line of engineering support for Kubernetes- and container-related issues. Technical Investigation & Resolution Troubleshoot, isolate, and resolve issues across: Kubernetes workloads, scheduling, services, networking, RBAC Docker containers, images, builds, and runtime environments Linux servers, systemd behavior, filesystem issues, resource constraints Networking (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls) Linux & Networking Deep-Dive Investigate issues inside Linux systems using tools such as: tcpdump, ss, strace, traceroute, dig, journalctl, top, htop Documentation & Communication Write clear, concise technical tickets, incident summaries, and runbooks. Create knowledge base articles and contribute to ongoing documentation improvements. Participate in postmortems and drive follow-up actions. Cross-Team Collaboration Work with SRE, Platform, and Engineering teams to escalate issues, identify platform bugs, and propose improvements. Provide high-quality, structured feedback based on trends in support interactions. Operational Excellence Uphold a strong emphasis on detail, organization, independence, and quality. Contribute to building tools, scripts, and processes that improve support efficiency.

Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and structured debugging ability. Comfortable working independently with distributed teams. Preferred Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or similar engineering discipline. Experience supporting private cloud or internal platform engineering teams. Familiarity with Spark, Kafka, or distributed systems. Why This Role Is Exciting You will support systems used by every developer at a global company.
