They collaborate with L3/engineering on escalations, maintain runbooks and SOPs, and participate in an on-call for incidents.

• Perform root-cause analysis (RCA) for recurring problems and document findings, data fixes, and preventive actions.
• Write and run SQL queries (MySQL) to investigate data discrepancies, reconcile records, and support operational checks.
• Handle production support tasks such as data fixes, reprocessing/replaying failed jobs, and validating reconciliation pipelines.
• Collaborate with L3/engineering teams to escalate defects, provide reproduction steps, and validate hot fixes.
• Create runbooks, SOPs, and knowledge-base articles to strengthen L1 self-service and reduce repeat escalations.
• Participate in an on-call and respond to medium-severity incidents.
• Update, and communicate incident/issue status to L1/Partners by ticketing tools (e.g., Jira) and comms channels.
• Identify automation and monitoring gaps; propose and implement improvements to reduce manual toil.
