You resolve technical challenges, support releases, contribute to structural improvements and strengthen customer service environments through engineering expertise, automation and proactive problem-solving. You look beyond the immediate fix. By recognizing patterns, reducing recurring work, improving operational standards and guiding technical decisions, you help move support from reactive problem-solving toward a more structured and predictable way of working., * Handle technical escalations, including critical incidents, recurring problems and ILIAS platform defects that require careful investigation, with specialist input available for the most complex cases. * Analyze root causes across infrastructure, applications, databases, cloud, security and network layers, and translate findings into clear actions that prevent issues from returning. * Improve service reliability by identifying technical debt, analyzing incident trends, defining preventive improvements and supporting disaster recovery validation and resilience testing. * Validate and execute complex releases, changes and implementation activities, including CAB support, deployment process improvements and release-related risk reduction through automation and standardization. * Make support more efficient by improving automation, monitoring, observability, operational tooling and Infrastructure as Code practices. * Work with Operations, Product Engineering, Support, Security, customers and technology partners during major incidents, technical customer reviews, onboarding, transition projects and key customer initiatives, including occasional travel to support ILIAS platform implementations at customer locations. You will work with a high degree of independence, with expert technical sparring and guidance available for complex escalations where needed. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
