- Own escalated tickets from 1st line support that require deeper technical investigation across Service Centre, REA, and RCA.
- Write and run SQL Server queries against production and test databases to investigate data integrity issues, configuration problems, and reported bugs.
- Read and step through our VB.NET, C#, .NET Framework, and .NET codebase to understand root cause and distinguish genuine defects from configuration or user error.
- Reproduce complex, intermittent, or environment-specific issues across ASP.NET WebForms, MVC, and newer Vue.js/SPA components of the application.
- Troubleshoot SOAP and REST API integration issues raised by customers connecting third-party or ERP systems to our platform.
- Investigate issues at the infrastructure level across Windows Server, IIS, and SQL Server configuration in both Azure-hosted and on-premise customer environments.
- Monitor and respond to production alerts via Site24x7, carrying out first-level infrastructure diagnostics ahead of escalation to platform and engineering teams.
- Log well-evidenced defects into Jira with clear reproduction steps, logs, and impact assessment, and track them through to resolution and release.
Requirements
- Proven experience in a 2nd line, technical support, or application support role, ideally supporting a complex B2B or enterprise software product.
- Strong working knowledge of SQL Server, including confidence writing non-trivial queries with joins and aggregations to investigate data and configuration issues.
- Ability to read and reason about C# and/or VB.NET code to identify root cause, even without day-to-day development responsibility.
- Practical understanding of ASP.NET applications, including WebForms and/or MVC, and how they are deployed under IIS.
- Comfortable working with Windows Server environments and troubleshooting application, IIS, and OS-level issues.
- Experience with API troubleshooting, including inspecting SOAP or REST requests and responses to isolate integration issues.
- Strong analytical and diagnostic skills, with the ability to work methodically from symptom to root cause on ambiguous or intermittent issues.
