[Hiring] Middle L2 Technical Support Specialist @GR8_TECH

Role Description

This role exists to protect platform reliability and partner trust by rapidly diagnosing and resolving complex, non-standard B2B platform incidents. You’ll help us maintain low MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution) and keep engineering focused on strategic roadmap items by owning unscripted, multi-system investigations, uncovering root causes, and serving as a strict quality filter between partner support and L3 engineering.

What you’ll drive:

• Incident Investigation & Root-Cause Analysis
  • Own end-to-end investigation for non-routine B2B operational tickets involving transactional mismatches, integration drops, and configuration failures.
  • Trace distributed microservice calls across Kibana and OpenSearch using correlation identifiers (Trace-ID, Request-ID, Session-ID) to isolate failures within asynchronous event streams.
  • Inspect Grafana metrics, error spikes, and service latencies to rapidly differentiate platform-wide degradation from localized operator misconfigurations.
  • Unblock operator operations autonomously by identifying configuration fixes or workaround pathways without requiring day-to-day engineering intervention.
• API Diagnostics & Data Verification
  • Validate API endpoint behavior, payload structures, authentication tokens, and webhook/postback mechanics using Postman and cURL.
  • Query relational and distributed analytical databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Athena) to inspect real-time player states, balance ledgers, and event audit histories.
  • Reconcile state discrepancies across internal services and third-party payment, game, or sports feed providers.
• Engineering Alignment & Quality Escalations
  • Filter escalated issues thoroughly to ensure only verified, reproducible platform bugs reach L3 and Development teams.
  • Ship reproduction-ready bug tickets in Jira complete with isolated payload examples, stack traces, database snapshots, and measurable blast-radius assessments.
  • Partner with QA and L3 engineers during critical defect triage to validate patches and verify staging/production fixes.
• Operational Knowledge & Team Scaling
  • Build structured diagnostic runbooks, troubleshooting workflows, and decision trees for newly identified incident patterns.
  • Mentor L1 support specialists and Junior L2 colleagues through shadow sessions, log analysis training, and query optimization guidance.
  • Optimize support operational efficiency by identifying recurring incidents and advocating for systemic product fixes or automated alerts.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in L2 technical support, systems analysis, or application operations within the iGaming sector, supporting high-load transactional architectures.
• Advanced log analysis and distributed tracing skills in Kibana or OpenSearch, including querying stack traces and tracking requests across distributed microservices.
• Hands-on API debugging proficiency with Postman or cURL, deep understanding of HTTP status codes, JSON payload schema validation, and webhook/callback mechanics.
• Solid read-only SQL querying capability (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Athena) to navigate relational schemas, extract audit logs, and reconcile transactional states.
• Proven observability experience with monitoring stacks (e.g., Grafana) to interpret error rate anomalies, throughput shifts, and latency degradations.
• Proficiency in Jira & Jira Service Management (JSM) within multi-tier support pipelines (L1 → L2 → L3) and established SDLC workflows.
• B2 English proficiency or higher, with clear written technical communication that translates complex logs into structured bug reports.

Nice-to-Have

• Working knowledge of event-driven message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and distributed architecture design patterns.
• Basic scripting literacy (Bash, Python) for log parsing or automating routine diagnostic tasks.
• Fluency in Ukrainian or Russian.

Benefits

• Cafeteria — annual budget you allocate to: Sports, Medical, Mental health, Home office, Languages.
• Paid maternity/paternity leave + monthly childcare allowance.
• 20+ vacation days, unlimited sick leave, emergency time off.
• Remote-first + tech support + coworking compensation.
• Team events (online/offline/offsite).
• Learning culture with internal courses + growth programs.
