How you’ll make an impact:



  • Own Level 2 incidents from diagnosis through resolution and root cause analysis. Business‑critical services recover quickly and repeat issues are reduced.

  • Troubleshoot issues across Salesforce, MuleSoft APIs, GoAnywhere MFT workflows and Genesys contact flows. Cross‑platform failures are understood and resolved with clear technical evidence.

  • Use logs, transaction traces, API payloads and Sumo Logic dashboards to investigate failures and performance issues. The team can identify root causes across application, integration and data layers.

  • Manage incidents, problems, changes, defects and technical backlog items through ITSM tooling and Azure DevOps. Work is prioritised by business impact and progressed in line with service expectations.

  • Monitor platform health, integrations, batch jobs, APIs and contact centre services, identifying recurring risks and opportunities to automate. Services become more resilient, observable and efficient to support.

  • Act as a subject matter expert, creating runbooks, sharing knowledge and coaching colleagues. Capability grows across the team and single points of failure are reduced.
