- We ship before we're 100% certain. We write things down because we have two offices and memory is lossy. We debate loudly and move without resentment. We treat the customer's real problem as more important than an elegant internal process. If you've spent time waiting for permission to try something obvious — you'll notice the difference here immediately.
When something goes wrong in production overnight, you are the person leading the response.
EviSmart is looking for a Global Continuity Lead to own incident response and platform continuity during our night operations.
This is not a role where you simply monitor dashboards, create a ticket, and wait for Engineering.
You will be the lead incident response person on shift. You are expected to investigate first, understand what is happening, determine the safest way to restore operations, bring in the right technical people when necessary, and remain accountable for the incident until the platform is stable.
Our platform supports 2,000+ dental labs, so an issue in production can quickly become a real business problem for our customers. The goal is simple: keep cases moving and minimize disruption.
You will be responsible for the health and continuity of the platform during your coverage.
- Lead the response to production incidents during the night shift
- Continuously monitor platform health and act on warning signs before they become customer-impacting problems
- Personally perform first-line investigation using logs, dashboards, monitoring tools, diagnostic commands and available system access
- Determine the impact and likely source of an issue before escalating
- Look for safe workarounds or restoration options when a permanent fix is not immediately available
- Decide when an issue can be handled at your level and when Engineering, DevOps or another specialist needs to be brought in
- Command the incident even after technical teams become involved: keep people aligned, decisions moving and communication clear
- Keep Application Support and other stakeholders informed during active incidents
- Document incidents, root causes, workarounds and follow-up actions
- Make sure recurring issues don't simply become accepted problems
- Provide a complete handoff to the daytime team with nothing dropped overnight
- Develop one Application Support teammate into a reliable backup who can eventually handle routine night triage independently
The role's ownership of monitoring, incident command, proactive customer communication, post-mortems and backup development is explicit in the operating playbook.
This is not a traditional Service Delivery Manager or ITIL governance position.
It is also not a pure DevOps or Software Engineering role.
You don't need to be the person who writes the permanent code fix for every problem. But you do need enough technical depth to investigate intelligently before asking someone else to solve it.
If your normal incident process is: Alert → Create ticket → Escalate → Wait this probably isn't the right role.
We're looking for someone whose instinct is closer to:
Detect → Investigate → Isolate → Restore or Work Around → Escalate Intelligently → Command Through Resolution → Prevent Recurrence
- Senior Application Support Engineer, L2/L3 Application Support Engineer, Production Support Engineer, Application Operations Engineer, Technical Operations Engineer, Platform Support Engineer, or similar.
- Has personally supported live production applications
- Can investigate an unfamiliar production problem without immediately needing someone to tell you what to check
- Is comfortable working with logs, dashboards, APIs, databases and monitoring/observability tools
- Understands enough infrastructure and application behavior to distinguish between likely application, database, API/connectivity and infrastructure problems
- Thinks about business continuity, not only technical resolution
- Can make sensible decisions with incomplete information
- Knows when a workaround is safer and faster than waiting for the perfect fix
- Stays calm when customers are affected and several teams are involved
- Communicates clearly during incidents without creating noise
- Can challenge or direct technical teams when an incident needs movement
- Notices patterns and asks why the same problem keeps happening
- Doesn't need constant hand-holding
- Is comfortable being accountable when they are the most senior incident-response person available
It's 2 AM. A production issue is preventing a customer from processing cases. The permanent fix requires an engineer who isn't immediately available.
We're looking for someone who doesn't stop at "I'll"
We want someone who starts asking:
- What's actually broken?
- What's the business impact?
- What changed?
- What can I verify myself?
- Can I safely restore the previous working state?
- Is there another way to keep the customer's operation moving?
- Who genuinely needs to be involved?
- What can we do now instead of waiting until morning?
That's the mindset we're hiring for.
Your first 90 days are designed to progressively prove that we can trust you with the night.
Learn the platform and prove you can troubleshoot real issues and identify the correct workaround without being walked through every step.
Independently monitor the platform, recognize warning signals and own selected production tickets through resolution.
Independently command night incidents from detection through restoration, handle more complex issues, proactively identify problems and effectively delegate to your trained backup.
Ultimately, success means 99% platform health during night operations, incidents declared quickly, complete post-mortems, no dropped night-to-day handoffs, and a backup capable of independently handling night triage.
- Strong hands-on experience in Application Support, Production Support, SaaS Operations or a similar production environment
- Experience supporting systems in a 24/7 or on-call environment
- Real production incident troubleshooting experience
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, Splunk, Kibana, Azure Monitor or similar
- Working knowledge of logs, APIs, SQL/databases, cloud environments and basic diagnostic tools
- Experience with incident response, root-cause analysis and production releases
- Strong judgment around escalation, risk and business continuity
- The ability to communicate confidently with both technical teams and business stakeholders
Deep DevOps expertise is not required. What matters is that you can investigate intelligently, understand what you're seeing, take the safest action available at your level, and know when specialist intervention is genuinely necessary.
This is a permanent night-shift role.
This is also an Individual Contributor role, not a traditional people-management position. You will act as the functional point person during night coverage and will help develop a designated backup, but you will not be joining to manage a large team.
The responsibility is significant because you are the person we need to trust when the daytime team isn't around.
If you're already strong in Application or Production Support and you're looking for an opportunity where you're given more ownership, more decision-making authority and the chance to become the person trusted to lead production incidents, we'd like to hear from you.
Work setup: FULL ONSITE, Monday to Friday
