• Collaborate with internal teams, MNO partners, and vendors to escalate complex issues, provide logs, traces, and collaborate on fixes for signalling or session-related problems.
• Monitor and respond to network alarms and issues during your shift, following standard operating procedures to initiate troubleshooting or escalation.
• Participate in on-call rotations to provide 24/7 support for critical issues, ensuring fast response and minimal service impact.
• Document resolutions and technical knowledge gained during troubleshooting activities, contributing to a growing knowledge base for the wider team.

Requirements

• Foundational knowledge of telecommunications networks (e.g., SS7, Diameter, VoLTE, LTE, 3G, 4G, IMS) is essential, with a strong desire to develop deeper expertise in these areas.
• Experience or familiarity with basic troubleshooting of network issues such as attach failures, data session setups, and performance inconsistencies is a plus.
• Familiarity with network monitoring tools such as Wireshark, tcpdump, or other packet analysis tools.
• Strong interest in learning and developing troubleshooting skills for signalling protocols, network performance, and roaming issues.
• Ability to work in a rotating 24/7 shift environment and participate in on-call rotations as part of a global team.
• Ability to work unsupervised, effectively prioritise tasks, and take ownership of task completion and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Excellent communication skills to work effectively with internal and external stakeholders, including vendors and MNOs.
• A collaborative attitude with a willingness to ask questions, learn from more experienced colleagues, and contribute to team discussions.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to follow guidance and develop independent troubleshooting abilities over time.
• Organisational skills to document work clearly, maintain records, and contribute to a growing knowledge base.
• A curious nature, demonstrating a passion for understanding how systems work, finding long-term solutions to recurring problems and the determination to keep investigating until the underlying issue is uncovered.

Desired Experience and Qualifications

• A degree in Telecommunications, Network Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is preferred, but not essential.
• Some exposure to network monitoring and troubleshooting tools (e.g., Zabbix, SolarWinds, or similar) is a plus.
• Prior experience in a technical support, network operations, or telecommunications environment is beneficial.
