Job description

What Youll Do

Technical & Customer Support

• Act as the primary point of contact for customer-facing technical issues related to our SaaS platform, including data connectivity, report errors, performance concerns, access problems, data inconsistencies, software bugs, and integration challenges.
• Understand and empathize with the challenges ThoughtSpot users face, offering tailored solutions to improve their experience.
• Provide timely, accurate, and clear updates to customers, consistently meeting SLAs and driving issues through to full resolution via tickets and calls.
• Translate complex technical issues into clear, concise updates for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Create and maintain knowledge-base articles to empower customer self-service and improve support efficiency.

System Reliability & Monitoring

• Maintain, monitor, and troubleshoot ThoughtSpot cloud infrastructure using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, and Splunk.
• Monitor system health and performance through metrics, logs, and dashboards to detect and prevent issues proactively.
• Implement and leverage AI/ML-driven solutions for proactive observability, predictive anomaly detection, and intelligent alerting to enhance service reliability and reduce Mean Time to Resolution MTTR.
• Understand and apply NetOps and SecOps principles for cloud and on-premise deployments.
• Develop and implement automation and best practices to streamline operations and strengthen system reliability.
• Optimize SRE workflows with AI tools to boost operational effectiveness.

Incident Management & Continuous Improvement

• Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident reviews, and conduct thorough root cause analyses to drive continuous improvement.
• Work cross-functionally with Engineering to define and implement tools that enhance debuggability, supportability, availability, scalability, and performance.
• Be an expert in both cloud and on-premise infrastructure by developing automation and best practices.

What Youll Bring

• B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent relevant experience.
• Proven experience troubleshooting complex Linux systems and managing virtualization and cloud platforms (VMware, AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Hands-on experience with monitoring tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, or Splunk.
• Demonstrated experience and a keen interest in leveraging AI/ML principles to address SRE challenges - including AIOps, predictive maintenance, and intelligent automation.
• Prior experience in enterprise customer support, including on-call rotations and incident management, with the ability to lead root cause analyses.
• Strong problem-solving and algorithmic thinking with a solid understanding of system internals.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to work independently and cross-functionally in fast-paced environments.
• Familiarity with scripting and programming languages such as Python, Go, Bash, or Java.
• Exposure to infrastructure and service monitoring frameworks with the ability to analyze data to ensure high availability.

Good to Have

• Experience partnering with Engineering to design and implement mission-critical tooling and automation that advances system debuggability, high availability, elastic scalability, and performance.
• Experience with alerting strategies and monitoring system tuning to minimize alert fatigue and optimize Mean Time to Acknowledge MTTA.
• Familiarity with C/C++ or other low-level systems languages.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You have a balanced mix of technical expertise in cloud operations and a proven record of handling support incidents and end-user queries. This sets you apart from candidates with purely systems or cloud engineering backgrounds. You move fluidly between deep technical investigation and customer-facing communication - equally at home diagnosing a complex infrastructure issue and presenting findings clearly to an enterprise stakeholder.

Spotters are expected to demonstrate AI literacy and workflow integration to include the ability to:

• Comfortably and confidently integrate artificial intelligence into their daily workflow to increase productivity and quality.
• Hands-on experience to leverage AI tools (industry-leading LLMs) to increase productivity, automate routine tasks, and improve work quality.
• Speak to the experience of using AI for research, content creation, and document summarization while maintaining ownership of judgment and final decisions.
• Write effective prompts to get the most accurate and creative results from AI tools.
