• Investigate production issues involving terminals, transactions, connectivity, and configurations using Kibana or similar log analysis tools; document findings and escalated unresolved issues.
• Learn Paymentus-specific schema configurations and vault settings, and perform approved changes under established procedures and access controls.
• Maintain implementation checklists, runbooks, device records, and troubleshooting procedures.
• Build shared technical knowledge with existing EMV specialists and provide coverage for implementations and production support.
