Tier 1 Technical Support Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Globys, a division of Harris; is seeking a Technical Support Engineer who has genuine technical depth and investigates, diagnoses, and resolves complex customer issues at Tier 1 and Tier 2 - not someone who triages and routes.

This role is the primary technical point of contact for our international carrier customers (AT&T, Telstra, TELUS, OneNZ, and others) and demands someone who is as comfortable writing a SQL query to reproduce a data anomaly as they are walking a client through a configuration fix.

You will own tickets end-to-end. Escalation to Tier 3 engineering is reserved for confirmed code defects or infrastructure issues - not a first resort. Success is measured by your self-resolution rate, response quality, and documentation thoroughness.

THE MINDSET WE'RE HIRING FOR

This is the most important section in this job description. Read it carefully before applying.

Ask yourself: when you last hit a problem with no clear answer, what did you do? If your honest answer is "I waited for someone to tell me" or "I checked the KB and gave up" - this role isn't for you. If your answer is "I pulled every thread I could find until I figured it out" - keep reading.

AI & MODERN TOOLING - A CORE EXPECTATION

The standard we hold: An answer found through AI-assisted research that you can fully explain, validate, and stand behind is excellent work. An answer copy-pasted from an AI that you haven't verified is a liability. Know the difference.

What your impact will be:

• Serve as primary technical contact for Globys' international carrier customers - triaging, reproducing, and resolving issues at Tier 1/2 without requiring engineering escalation unless a confirmed software defect or infrastructure failure is identified
• Diagnose and resolve issues across web application layers: front-end behavior, API responses, data ingestion anomalies, configuration errors, and portal access problems
• Write and execute SQL queries against relational databases to investigate data discrepancies, validate expected behavior, and support Root Cause Analysis
• Reproduce customer-reported issues in non-production environments; develop and communicate workarounds while permanent fixes are in progress
• When no existing documentation covers an issue, dig - search technical forums, vendor documentation, related codebases, and use AI-assisted research to surface parallel patterns - then build the documentation that was missing
• Deliver clear, technically substantive Root Cause Analysis documentation for every major incident, suitable for carrier-level customers
• Create and maintain knowledge base articles, runbooks, and troubleshooting decision trees - treating documentation as a first-class deliverable, not an afterthought
• Respond to customer inquiries within SLA thresholds; provide daily written status updates on all active incidents
• Produce daily shift handoff reports and participate in cross-functional syncs with Engineering, QA, and Operations
• Identify systemic product issues through trend analysis and proactively surface them to Engineering with supporting data
• Cover on-call responsibilities for critical incidents outside standard shift hours as defined in the rotation
• Continuously improve your own technical depth - use slow periods to explore product internals, study related technologies, and close your own knowledge gaps

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

• This is not a help desk or Tier 1 call center role - you are the technical decision-maker, not a first-touch router
• This is not a role for someone who reads the knowledge base, finds no entry, and opens a ticket for someone else to handle - if it's not there, you find it another way
• This is not a role for passive AI use - copy-pasting AI outputs without understanding or verification is a performance issue, not a shortcut
• This role requires genuine curiosity and comfort with ambiguity - customer issues won't arrive with reproduction steps attached
• If your experience is primarily scripted troubleshooting or ticket forwarding, this is not the right fit

What we are looking for:

• 2-4+ years in a technical support, application support, or SaaS support role where you were resolving issues - not just routing them
• Intermediate SQL proficiency: JOINs, subqueries, aggregations, and the ability to use SQL to investigate real-world data problems independently
• Working knowledge of web application architecture: how requests flow from browser to API to database and back; familiarity with HTTP, REST APIs, JSON
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting web-based applications - inspecting network requests, reading server logs, interpreting error codes
• Demonstrated self-sufficiency: a track record of solving problems that weren't already documented, without waiting to be handed the answer
• Active, practical use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) in a professional or technical context - you know how to prompt well, validate outputs, and use AI to accelerate your thinking without replacing it
• Excellent written communication: clear incident summaries for carrier executives and precise technical handoffs for engineers, in the same day
• Ability to manage multiple active incidents simultaneously without losing quality or urgency on any of them
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a technical discipline - or equivalent demonstrated technical experience

What would make you stand out:

• Experience supporting B2B SaaS platforms, telecom billing systems, or enterprise portal solutions
• Scripting ability in at least one language (Python, PowerShell, or Bash) - bonus if you've used AI tools to help write, debug, or optimize scripts
• Exposure to ITSM tools (Jira, Zoho, ServiceNow) for ticket management and reporting
• Familiarity with API testing tools (Postman, curl) to isolate issues at the integration layer
• Experience with log analysis and monitoring tools (Splunk, PagerDuty, Elastic, or similar)
• ITIL Foundation, CompTIA Network+, or AWS Cloud Practitioner certification
• Telecom industry background - understanding of how carriers provision business customers and manage mobility/data plans

What we can offer:

• 3 weeks' vacation and 5 personal days
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits starting from your first day of employment
• Employee stock ownership and RRSP/401k matching programs
• Lifestyle rewards
• Remote work and more!
