Is this role right for you?

In this role, you will:
  • Monitoring & Alert Response:
    Monitor dashboards and alerts (Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, Databricks, and platform tooling), validate signal vs. noise, and take first-response actions according to SOPs.
  • Incident Triage & Escalation:
    Triage incidents by collecting logs/metrics, identifying likely impact, documenting findings, executing approved remediation steps, and escalating to on-call leads or SMEs with clear context.
  • SOP-Driven Maintenance:
    Perform routine maintenance tasks from predefined runbooks (e.g., operational checks, certificate/secret rotations as directed, housekeeping activities, basic platform validation, scheduled jobs health checks).
  • Ticket Handling & Request Fulfillment:
    Work intake from service queues, follow standard procedures for common requests (access requests, connectivity validation, workspace onboarding steps), and ensure requests are completed and communicated within agreed SLAs.
  • Operational Communications:
    Provide timely and accurate updates during incidents and maintenance activities, including status, next steps, and handoffs, using established communication channels and templates.
  • Reliability & Continuous Improvement:
    Identify recurring issues and operational pain points, suggest improvements to alerts/runbooks, and contribute to post-incident actions (e.g., updating SOPs, adding monitoring coverage).
  • Documentation & Knowledge Management:
    Maintain clear operational documentation, ensure runbooks are current, and capture lessons learned to improve onboarding and reduce time-to-resolve.
  • After-Hours Support (Rotation):
    Participate in after-hours/on-call rotations and perform approved response actions, escalating when required to meet service reliability targets.
  • Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed in this role? We'd love to work with you if you have:

  • 2 years of experience in IT operations, production support, or a similar support role.
  • Foundational knowledge of cloud concepts (Azure preferred): identity/access basics, networking fundamentals, and how to navigate cloud portals and logs.
  • Comfort monitoring alerts/dashboards and troubleshooting using logs and metrics (Azure Monitor/Log Analytics or similar tools).
  • Exposure to data platforms (Databricks, Spark, SQL warehouses, or similar) is an asset; ability to learn quickly is essential.
  • Basic scripting ability (Python, Bash, or Power Shell) to run operational checks or automate simple repetitive tasks.
  • Familiarity with ITIL-style incident and change processes (ticketing, triage, documentation, and handoffs) is an asset.
  • Strong communication and customer support mindset: able to provide clear updates, follow SOPs precisely, and escalate effectively.
  • Willingness to participate in after-hours/on-call rotations as required.
  • Degree/college diploma in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field is preferred (or equivalent practical experience).
