Role Summary
We are seeking Support Engineer role for a 24/7 Incident Management (IM) operations program
supporting a key player in the automotive industry's connected car space. This role will primarily
focus on monitoring the system health using different data monitoring tools such as Datadog,
Grafana, MaxGauge, Elastic, Dynatrace. Once an anomaly or unusual pattern is observed,
escalate it to the respective teams, initiate an incident bridge, driving the bridge, taking incident
timeline, facilitate the teams to bring an ongoing incident to closure and ensuring adherence to
contractual SLAs. The IM Support Engineer will orchestrate end-to-end incident handling—from
anomaly detection to bridge initiation, stakeholder communications, resolution, and post-
incident governance—with a strong background in Telematics and Connected Vehicle systems
(including Remote Services).
Key Responsibilities
Monitor the health and availability of production systems supporting the Connected Car /
Telematics ecosystem.
Proactively monitor application, infrastructure, API, database, and service health using tools
such as:
Datadog
Grafana
MaxGauge
Application and system logs
Organization-specific monitoring and observability tools
Identify abnormal system behavior, performance degradation, errors, latency, service
failures, and potential outages.
Analyze dashboards, alerts, metrics, logs, and application behavior to identify the initial
scope and impact of incidents.
Perform proactive monitoring to identify issues before they impact customers.

service reviews with trend analysis and action plans.
Collaborate with Product/Engineering to influence reliability roadmaps (resiliency patterns,
observability, capacity, release safeguards).
