📋 Description

• The Engineering team manages and supports technical operations across The Last Mile organization, including internal tooling and our Platform as a Service (PaaS), which operates in correctional facilities across the country. • An associate Support Engineer's daily engagements range from triaging requests for support from remote facilities to proactive monitoring of our PaaS infrastructure and escalating critical conditions. • This is a highly collaborative role, with the opportunity to engage with an extremely broad range of systems and technologies. • The Associate Support Engineer is the first point of contact for both our partners and internal users. • This role is responsible for the content and tone of communication with our audiences and is pivotal in our ability to support our operations. • Our support desk operates a sprint-based on-call rotation, which allows our team members to cycle between being the owner of inbound events, the first point of escalation, and the secondary responder as needed. • The secondary responder period allows team members to work on process or system improvements within support and engage in broader Engineering team projects as capacity allows. • This role is responsible for the triage and timely resolution of inbound events, as well as escalating conditions that cannot be resolved directly. • The support team collaboratively owns a considerable segment of the user experience across our audiences at The Last Mile. • Provide first responder support to partners and team members via Slack, e-mail, and internal tickets. • Prioritize efforts, support escalations, and drive resolutions promptly. • Monitor platform infrastructure and respond to alerts. • Manage internal and external communication for incident response, keeping stakeholders and partners informed. • Support user onboarding and offboarding.
