  • Own the Zendesk ticket queue during US hours; triage, respond within SLA, resolve or escalate, and document tickets
  • Handle established incident types independently using runbooks
  • Serve as first US contact for bank client technical queries
  • Cover the queue during the Lead’s complex incidents, escalations, or tooling work
  • Investigate GCP Cloud Logging errors and trace requests across microservice boundaries using correlation IDs
  • Write MySQL SELECT queries against production read replicas to investigate transactions, card data, accounts, and settlements
  • Escalate structured incident handoffs with logs reviewed, queries run, and hypotheses formed
  • Join the Lead immediately on P1/P0 incidents and contribute to investigations
  • Check GCP monitoring dashboards and Zendesk alert channels at shift start
  • Track incidents across shifts and ensure clean handoffs
  • Identify alert noise or misconfigured thresholds
  • Communicate clear, professional, jargon-free incident updates to banking client operations teams
  • Follow up on resolved tickets and explain fixes in plain language
  • Document investigated issues and improve runbook entries
  • Build and share a personal MySQL query library

Requirements:

  • 2–4 years in application support, technical support, IT operations, or a closely related role
  • Solid SQL, including SELECT queries with JOINs, subqueries, and WHERE clauses
  • Experience with at least one cloud log platform such as GCP Cloud Logging, CloudWatch, Splunk, Kibana, or Datadog
  • Familiarity with microservice concepts and tracing requests across services
  • REST API literacy, including HTTP status codes and reading API responses
  • Methodical troubleshooting and documentation
  • Clear written communication for client-facing updates
  • Change-control discipline; no production data modification without explicit authorization
  • Candidates should be located in India
  • Availability for 8–10-hour shifts during US business hours, preferably Eastern or Central time
  • Nice to have: GCP-specific experience, Zendesk familiarity, basic Python or Bash scripting, regulated/compliance-sensitive environment experience, and exposure to commercial card or payments concepts

Benefits:

  • 100% Remote Working Option
  • ~2-hour overlap with India team at start of US day for handoff, standups, and incidents in flight
  • Professional growth support in Python/Bash scripting from the Lead
