About the role
As a Technical Support Engineer at Wallester, you will be the technical escalation point for complex issues affecting our fintech platform.

You will work closely with Operations (L2), Engineering, and DevOps teams to diagnose problems, identify root causes, and implement durable fixes. In a regulated, high-availability fintech environment, precision, accountability, and clear communication are critical.
This role requires strong technical depth, structured thinking, and a proactive mindset focused on system reliability and operational excellence.

What will you do?
At Wallester, Technical Support Engineers are system problem-solvers and reliability drivers.
You will take full ownership of complex technical incidents — from investigation to resolution and root cause analysis — ensuring issues are not only fixed, but permanently addressed.
Specifically, you will:
Serve as the final escalation point for incidents from L2 Operations
Diagnose backend, API, database, and infrastructure-related issues using logs, traces, metrics, and request flows
Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for complex incidents and coordinate cross-team resolution
Collaborate with Engineering and DevOps to implement long-term fixes and reduce recurrence
Monitor alerts and system health proactively to detect and prevent incidents
Improve observability, logging, and alerting practices in partnership with engineering teams
Maintain and evolve runbooks, internal documentation, and troubleshooting guides
Automate repetitive investigation steps using scripts or internal tooling
Track internal SLAs and drive improvements in incident response and resolution time
Participate in post-incident reviews and contribute to operational improvements
Support audit readiness through clear documentation of processes and recurring issues
Participate in on-call rotations
We expect L3 engineers to demonstrate ownership, analytical rigor, and cross-functional leadership during high-pressure situations.
What you'll need
We're looking for engineers who are comfortable navigating distributed systems and diagnosing complex production issues.
You likely have:
3+ years of experience in technical support, SRE, backend engineering, or similar roles (5+ years typical for senior-level scope)
Strong experience troubleshooting backend and microservice-based systems
Practical experience analyzing logs, API traffic, request tracing, and service interactions
Experience identifying and resolving database-related issues (performance, slow queries, data inconsistencies)
Familiarity with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, CloudWatch, Rollbar, or similar
Strong analytical thinking and structured incident management approach
Ability to work cross-functionally in time-sensitive or high-pressure situations
Clear communication skills — able to explain complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Strong sense of ownership and ability to drive issues to resolution independently
For engineers operating at senior scope, we additionally expect:
Experience leading high-severity incident response
Proven ability to drive cross-team troubleshooting efforts
Experience mentoring other support engineers
Experience improving monitoring, alerting, and support processes
Nice to have
Prior experience supporting payment systems or fintech platforms
Understanding of card issuing platforms and APIs (Visa, Mastercard ecosystems)
Experience writing diagnostic scripts in Python, Go, or Bash
Knowledge of security and compliance standards (PCI-DSS, OWASP, ISO27001)
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
Experience working in regulated, high-availability environments
A strong sense of curiosity, precision, and operational discipline always stands out.
