You’ll handle incident triage, service restoration, monitoring, and problem management, using SQL and .NET knowledge to diagnose issues and work with L3/engineering teams on fixes.

Key Accountabilities:

• Own L2 support for MIM Sync and MIM Service in production and non-production environments.
• Triage and resolve incidents: analyse logs, identify failure points, restore service within agreed SLAs.

• Access request workflow fallouts and queue management
• Certificate/credential-related issues (where applicable)
• Use SQL Server to investigate data issues (queries, stored procedures, reconciliation, reporting extracts).
• Support and maintain .NET-based components (e.g., rules extensions, services, scheduled tasks) by reviewing logs/config and coordinating code fixes with L3.
• Execute approved changes (configuration updates, run profile changes, connection updates) following change control.
• Produce and maintain runbooks, known error database (KEDB) articles, and operational documentation.
• Drive problem management: trend recurring incidents, perform root-cause analysis with L3, and track permanent fixes.
• Coordinate with upstream/downstream teams (AD, Entra ID, HR feeds, ServiceNow) to resolve integration issues.
• Participate in on-call/major incident processes as required.
• Knowledge of LDAP integrations, file transfer protocols such as SMB, as well as TLS protocols, ciphers, encryption and other authentication technologies.
