    • Log Analysis:General ability to read data logs and scan for red flags or potential root causes.

    • Critical Thinking: A logical, methodical approach to problem-solving under pressure and through ambiguity.A symptom focused approach to finding the root cause of the issue.
    • Experience: 5+ years in technical support or success role, with at least 2 years in a senior/escalation-tier role.
