Job description

Machinify builds the AI operating system for healthcare payment intelligence, combining the minds of industry experts with the power of technology. US healthcare wastes billions of dollars a year inside the claims payment workflow, and Machinify has built a platform to fix that, backed by more than 40 years of payment integrity expertise and a product suite spanning the full claims lifecycle from pre-pay through post-pay. Today, 85+ customers rely on us, including 18 of the top 20 US health plans, covering more than 270 million member lives across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid. We process over 3 petabytes of claims data and return more than $6 billion in savings and recoveries to our customers every year, with 99% customer retention.

About the Role

This role sits within Production Support (Operations), part of one L1/L2 support organization covering Production Applications.

Level 1 is the front door of Production Support. You triage what comes in, resolve what the runbook covers, and hand off the rest to L2 with a clear diagnosis. You don't need to design systems. You do need to read logs, run SQL, follow a runbook precisely, and tell when something is outside it. This is a first-response and monitoring role. It supports off-hours coverage for US teams (initial triage and response), so the first line of defense is never asleep.

What You Will Own

• Work the L1 queue (helpdesk tickets and the App Production Support Jira board). Acknowledge, categorize, set priority, and respond within SLA.
• Watch dashboards and alerts (FireHydrant, Grafana). Triage by severity and open or join an incident when the runbook says to.
• Resolve common requests using runbooks: access and permission changes, letter portal tickets, stuck or failed jobs, reruns, and routine data lookups with SQL.
• Run approved scripts and API calls (SQL, curl, or Claude-assisted) from the runbook, and record what you did.
• Escalate to L2 with a clean handoff: what is broken, who is affected, evidence (logs, IDs, screenshots), steps already tried, and priority.
• Keep tickets current and tell requesters what's happening. No ticket sits without an owner or an update.
• Write down fixes you learn as runbook updates and KB articles. Flag repeat issues that should be automated.
• Take part in the on-call rotation, including nights, weekends, and US-overlap shifts.
• Cross-train on additional platforms so coverage doesn't depend on one person.

How L1 and L2 Divide the Work

L1 — Production Support Engineer I (This Role)

• Works from: existing runbooks and the knowledge base.
• Hands off when: the runbook doesn't cover it or two attempts fail. Escalates to L2.
• Owns: diagnosis, non-runbook fixes, configuration and data corrections, root cause.
• Works from: logs, code, config, and queries. Writes the runbooks L1 uses.
• Hands off when: it is a code defect or needs a code or schema change. Escalates to L3 (Engineering) with a linked bug.

Qualifications

Required

• 1-3 years in production support, help desk, NOC, data operations, or a similar technical operations role.
• Data analysis: can write basic SQL queries to look up a record, check state, and compare results. Can review and understand existing reports.
• Comfortable in a terminal. Can follow a runbook that uses scripts, curl or API calls, and log lookups. Willing to learn what you haven't used.
• Clear written English for tickets, incident updates, and handoffs.
• Methodical and calm under pressure. Follows the process, documents what you did, and knows when to elevate rather than guess.
• Willing to work rotational on-call and off-hours shifts.

Preferred

• Experience with helpdesk and ticketing tools (such as Jira) and incident tools (FireHydrant, PagerDuty).
• Basic Python or shell scripting.
• Monitoring or log tools (Grafana, Loki, ELK, CloudWatch).
• Familiarity with SQL Server, Postgres, or AWS basics.
• US healthcare payer data or claims workflows (837/835, audit, payment integrity, letters).
• Hands-on use of AI assistants (Claude) to run and check routine tasks.
