We are seeking an experienced, motivated Operations Engineer to join our growing team. This is a multiple-hats role focused on SaaS/platform operations and tier-2 support for client-facing systems.

You will partner closely with Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to proactively monitor, support, and improve critical systems. Through practical, creative problem-solving, you will strengthen reliability, accelerate time to resolution, and increase operational visibility. Day to day, you will triage and resolve client technical questions, manage vendor license administration and renewals, and produce reporting that informs operational decisions.

    • Build custom client activity dashboards and reports
    • Help define alert thresholds and escalation paths for incidents
    • Support client entitlement renewals and additions
  • Occasional Desktop Support (5%)
    • Assist business users with light-touch desktop and software support when needed (installing software, troubleshooting basic issues)
    • Coordinate with central IT for larger incidents or hardware issues
  • Ways of Working
  • Collaborate closely with Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and central IT teams
  • Proactively identify recurring issues and drive them to permanent fixes (not just workarounds)
  • Some extended availability until 8 pm ET as part of an on-call rotation/coverage plan
Required Technical Qualifications:
