• Troubleshooting REST API issues by verifying authentication, tokens, headers, methods, request bodies, response codes, and capturing reproducible examples.
• Reproducing web player issues (JavaScript/TypeScript) using browser developer tools, including Console and Network, segment and buffer inspection, and configuration verification.
• Validating live streaming symptoms by checking RTMP ingest status, encoder health, segment availability, and common playback failure patterns (HLS/DASH).
• Reading service logs in Docker and Kubernetes, checking pod and service health, correlating application and gateway logs, and gathering artifacts to S3 or equivalent storage.
• Performing first-line checks on common network and proxy causes (HTTP/HTTPS, TLS, CORS, Nginx or similar).
• Working in Zendesk or similar systems by prioritizing VIP customers, honoring SLAs, and maintaining clear, structured ticket notes.

• Solid Linux command-line skills, including the ability to read logs from Docker and Kubernetes and perform basic health checks.
• Handson browser troubleshooting, including reproducing issues, reading Console and Network traces, and verifying player configuration.
• Discipline around escalation: knowing when to involve L3 and how to package context for fast resolution.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms, primarily GCP, with additional exposure to AWS, Azure, Akamai, or Oracle Cloud.
• Experience with ticketing and collaboration tools such as Zendesk, Jira, and standard incident runbooks and checklists.
• Strong understanding of REST fundamentals (HTTP methods, headers, response codes) and hands-on experience with API clients.
• Exposure to live streaming workflows, RTMP ingest, HLS and DASH, and common playback error patterns.
• Proficiency in browser diagnostics using Chrome DevTools to inspect network traffic, buffering, segments, and error messages.
• Ability to analyze proxy and web servers such as Nginx or HAProxy for CORS and header validation.
• Experience exporting logs and artifacts to object storage buckets (for example, S3).
• Customer communication, including setting expectations, summarizing next steps, and providing regular, meaningful updates.
• Maintaining structured ticket hygiene by capturing environment, reproduction steps, logs, hypothesis, and mitigation or fix.
• Efficient collaboration with L3 engineers by escalating with a minimal, self-contained bundle of evidence.
• Level of English – from Upper-Intermediate and above.

Nice-to-haves:

• Familiarity with GCP as a default platform plus AWS or Azure at the level of reading instance metrics and logs.
• Basic understanding of Java and Spring Boot logs to interpret server-side behavior, with awareness of native encoders as black boxes.
