The problems you will solve are deep, complex, and essential to keeping a global-scale organization moving. Role Overview The Observability & Tools Support Engineer provides high-impact technical support for customers of a large technology company’s internal IaaS platform, with a focus on monitoring, alerting, telemetry, and operational tooling. This role spans a wide range of support—from white-glove onboarding and end-to-end customer enablement, to deep technical troubleshooting across Linux, networking, and observability systems (especially Prometheus and AlertManager). You will also contribute to improving the support function itself: strengthening tooling, documentation, workflows, and feedback loops so the service scales. Success depends on excellent troubleshooting, strong written communication, comfort working with highly technical customers, and the maturity to identify patterns and drive operational improvements beyond individual ticket resolution. Business Outcome Become a trusted frontline expert for the customer’s observability ecosystem and operational tooling - delivering fast, accurate support across Slack and tickets, improving monitoring reliability, and reducing incident impact through better triage, troubleshooting, onboarding, and knowledge capture.

Provide clear, structured guidance to highly technical customers - Maintain strong attention to detail while managing multiple interactions in parallel 2) Deep-Dive Troubleshooting & Incident Support - Troubleshoot, isolate, and resolve monitoring and alerting issues (especially Prometheus + AlertManager) - Troubleshoot complex Linux and networking issues (TCP/IP fundamentals required) - Support OpenTelemetry, tracing, and telemetry pipelines, including investigation of gaps in signals and instrumentation - Drive incidents to resolution in partnership with Engineering/SRE teams 3) Documentation & Knowledge Development - Build and maintain customer-facing and internal knowledge base articles - Create informational posts for the community support platform - Turn repeated issues into reusable guides, checklists, and onboarding playbooks 4) Trend Analysis & Feedback to Engineering - Analyze and categorize customer interaction trends - Provide accurate, meaningful feedback to Engineering and SRE orgs to improve product/tooling - Identify “top offenders” and propose practical fixes (tooling, docs, process, product) 5) Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement - Participate in post-mortem reviews and drive follow-through on improvements - Contribute meaningfully to team objectives and goals (process, tooling, and service scaling) - Bring creativity and discretion to resolve highly complex issues “outside the box” High-Quality Work - what top performance looks like Frontline Support - Moves smoothly from triage to deeper analysis without losing the customer - Communicates clearly and confidently with technical users - Maintains clean follow-ups and thread hygiene even with high context switching Troubleshooting -
