We are seeking an AWS Production Support Engineer with 2–5 years of production/application support experience to provide 24x7 operational support for applications running in an AWS environment.
The ideal candidate will have strong troubleshooting and incident-management skills, hands-on experience investigating application and infrastructure alerts, and the ability to perform initial triage using AWS services, Splunk, OpenTelemetry, and application logs.
This role requires someone who is proactive, self-motivated, comfortable working in a production environment, and able to quickly determine whether an issue is isolated or part of a broader outage.
Key Responsibilities

  • Provide 24x7 production support for applications operating in an AWS environment.
  • Monitor production alerts and investigate application or infrastructure incidents.
  • Perform initial troubleshooting and triage using AWS, Splunk, OpenTelemetry, and application/system logs.
  • Investigate batch and scheduled job failures, gather relevant information, and identify potential causes.
  • Determine the severity and impact of production issues and escalate to appropriate SMEs or engineering teams when required.
  • Troubleshoot application performance, availability, and operational issues.
  • Support production deployments and releases.
  • Execute and monitor basic CI/CD jobs and deployment processes.
  • Review logs and monitoring data to determine whether an issue is isolated or part of a larger production outage.
  • Work closely with development, infrastructure, cloud, and support teams during incident resolution.
  • Maintain and continuously improve operational documentation and knowledge articles.
  • Identify opportunities to improve production-support processes and operational efficiency.
Required Qualifications
  • 2–5 years of Production Support / Application Support experience.
  • Experience supporting applications in a 24x7 production environment.
  • Working knowledge of AWS and the ability to navigate AWS services for troubleshooting and investigation.
  • Hands-on experience with Splunk for log analysis and troubleshooting.
  • Strong experience with incident investigation, initial triage, troubleshooting, and escalation.
  • Experience investigating application alerts, system logs, and production failures.
  • Experience supporting and troubleshooting batch jobs / scheduled jobs.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to determine whether an issue is isolated or part of a broader outage.
  • Ability to work independently and escalate appropriately when deeper technical expertise is required.
  • Strong communication skills and a proactive, self-learning mindset.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills
  • OpenTelemetry
  • AutoSys
  • Apache
  • RMJ
  • CI/CD
  • Production release support
  • Application debugging
  • Monitoring and observability tools
  • Knowledge-base / operational documentation experience
Work Schedule
This position supports a 24x7 production environment and requires flexibility to work rotating 12-hour shifts.
Typical schedule:
3.5 days on / 3.5 days off, including a Sunday–Wednesday rotation, depending on production-support coverage requirements.
Candidates must be comfortable working flexible schedules as required to support production operations.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The successful candidate will be a hands-on production-support professional who:
  • Enjoys troubleshooting production issues.
  • Can investigate alerts independently before escalating.
  • Is comfortable working with ambiguity during operational incidents.
  • Learns new applications and technologies quickly.
  • Understands incident severity and escalation procedures.
  • Can work effectively under pressure during production outages.
  • Continuously looks for ways to improve support processes and documentation.
Interview Focus Areas
Candidates should be prepared to discuss:
  • A production incident they handled and their troubleshooting approach.
  • How they investigate issues using AWS logs or Splunk.
  • Steps taken when a batch or scheduled job fails.
  • How they determine when an issue should be escalated.
  • Experience supporting a 24x7 production environment.
  • Examples of operational-process or documentation improvements they have implemented.
