From the posting
GR8_TECH builds B2B iGaming platforms for operators who play to lead.
We deliver full-cycle, high-impact tech designed to scale — from seamless integrations and expert consulting to long-term operational support. Our platform powers millions of active players and drives real business growth. Call it what it is: the iGaming Platform for Champions.
With 1000+ GR8 people across locations and time zones, we don’t just ship technology — we help operators build success stories across brands, markets, and geos.
Our ambition drives us. Our people make it real.
If you’re a challenger in spirit and a champion in action — join us.
WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS:
This role exists to protect platform reliability and partner trust by rapidly diagnosing and resolving complex, non-standard B2B platform incidents. You’ll help us maintain low MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution) and keep engineering focused on strategic roadmap items by owning unscripted, multi-system investigations, uncovering root causes, and serving as a strict quality filter between partner support and L3 engineering.
WHAT YOU’LL DRIVE:
Incident Investigation & Root-Cause Analysis
- Own end-to-end investigation for non-routine B2B operational tickets involving transactional mismatches, integration drops, and configuration failures.
- Trace distributed microservice calls across Kibana and OpenSearch using correlation identifiers (Trace-ID, Request-ID, Session-ID) to isolate failures within asynchronous event streams.
- Inspect Grafana metrics, error spikes, and service latencies to rapidly differentiate platform-wide degradation from localized operator misconfigurations.
- Unblock operator operations autonomously by identifying configuration fixes or workaround pathways without requiring day-to-day engineering intervention.
API Diagnostics & Data Verification
- Validate API endpoint behavior, payload structures, authentication tokens, and webhook/postback mechanics using Postman and cURL.
- Query relational and distributed analytical databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Athena) to inspect real-time player states, balance ledgers, and event audit histories.
- Reconcile state discrepancies across internal services and third-party payment, game, or sports feed providers.
Engineering Alignment & Quality Escalations
- Filter escalated issues thoroughly to ensure only verified, reproducible platform bugs reach L3 and Development teams.
- Ship reproduction-ready bug tickets in Jira complete with isolated payload examples, stack traces, database snapshots, and measurable blast-radius assessments.
- Partner with QA and L3 engineers during critical defect triage to validate patches and verify staging/production fixes.
Operational Knowledge & Team Scaling
- Build structured diagnostic runbooks, troubleshooting workflows, and decision trees for newly identified incident patterns.
- Mentor L1 support specialists and Junior L2 colleagues through shadow sessions, log analysis training, and query optimization guidance.
- Optimize support operational efficiency by identifying recurring incidents and advocating for systemic product fixes or automated alerts.
WHAT MAKES YOU A GR8 FIT:
Must-Have
- 3+ years in L2 technical support, systems analysis, or application operations within the iGaming sector, supporting high-load transactional architectures
- Advanced log analysis and distributed tracing skills in Kibana or OpenSearch, including querying stack traces and tracking requests across distributed microservices.
- Hands-on API debugging proficiency with Postman or cURL, deep understanding of HTTP status codes, JSON payload schema validation, and webhook/callback mechanics.
- Solid read-only SQL querying capability (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Athena) to navigate relational schemas, extract audit logs, and reconcile transactional states.
- Proven observability experience with monitoring stacks (e.g., Grafana) to interpret error rate anomalies, throughput shifts, and latency degradations.
- Proficiency in Jira & Jira Service Management (JSM) within multi-tier support pipelines (L1 → L2 → L3) and established SDLC workflows.
- B2 English proficiency or higher, with clear written technical communication that translates complex logs into structured bug reports.
Nice-to-Have
- Working knowledge of event-driven message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and distributed architecture design patterns.
- Basic scripting literacy (Bash, Python) for log parsing or automating routine diagnostic tasks.
- Fluency in Ukrainian or Russian.
