As a Senior Technical Operations Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of technology and client success. You will play a highly visible, client-facing role, acting as a trusted technical advisor to enterprise customers while ensuring the reliability, performance, and scalability of mission-critical SaaS services, including messaging, voice, chatbots, and platform integrations.

This role requires strong communication skills, technical depth, and the ability to confidently lead technical discussions with clients in high-impact environments.

• Leading client-facing meetings, including incident reviews, technical deep dives, integration workshops, and performance discussions.

• Translating complex technical concepts into clear, business-aligned explanations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Owning customer incidents end-to-end, providing structured updates, transparent communication, and executive-level summaries when required.

• Conducting Root Cause Analysis (RCA) sessions with clients and present findings, corrective actions, and preventive measures.

• Building strong client relationships through proactive communication and technical advisory support.

• Leading incident response efforts for mission-critical SaaS services.

• Troubleshooting complex issues across messaging, APIs, backend systems, and third-party integrations.

• Ensuring service reliability, performance, and SLA adherence.

• Designing and implementing automated health checks and alerting mechanisms for critical services.

• Contributing to continuous service improvement initiatives based on incident trends and client feedback.

• Ensuring strong service observability using tools such as OpenSearch, Grafana, and related monitoring platforms.

• Implementing telemetry, metrics, logs, and tracing strategies to provide actionable insights into platform and client service health.

• Analyzing operational data to identify risks, performance bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities.

• Developing and maintaining scripts (Python, Bash, etc.) to automate operational and support processes.

• Improving internal operational workflows and tooling to enhance efficiency and reduce incident recurrence.

• Collaborating closely with Engineering and Product teams to improve service quality and operational capabilities.

• Leading small to mid-sized technical operations projects, ensuring clear scope definition, cross-functional alignment, and timely delivery.

• Driving operational improvements that directly enhance client experience and service stability.
