Job Description

As the world works and lives faster, FIS is leading the way.  Our fintech solutions touch nearly every market, company and person on the planet. Our teams are inclusive and diverse. Our colleagues work together and celebrate together. If you want to advance the world of fintech, we’d like to ask you: Are you FIS?

About the team:

We are the FIS Embedded Finance team, and our mission is to enable developers across all verticals to imagine, create and monetize financial products to profoundly transform the way the entire financial industry consumes services. Today, it's difficult for many businesses to build the financial products they imagine. Whether that's launching a new credit or debit card, a savings account, a lending business, or anything else — there are barriers in the way, that require excessive time and effort. We make it trivially easy for businesses to compliantly offer financial products, and innovate on their key differentiators rather than spend all their time building and maintaining financial infrastructure.

About the role:

As a pivotal member of our engineering team, the Technical Escalation Engineer is dedicated to investigating and resolving complex technical issues within our SaaS or customer-facing software environments. This role demands a blend of technical prowess and customer-facing skills, aiming to address and mitigate escalations efficiently. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with their lead to enhance our escalation processes and improve customer satisfaction.

On-call: As first line of engineering escalation, participate in an on-call rotation and respond within defined SLAs to incoming pages or tickets.

Technical Investigation: Perform detailed investigations of escalated technical issues, employing a range of tools and techniques including scripting, SQL queries, operational configuration adjustments, and creating monitoring solutions.

Problem Resolution: Develop and implement effective solutions to complex technical problems, ensuring resolutions meet customer needs and company standards.

Collaboration: Work alongside Customer Support, Engineering, and other teams to ensure a coordinated approach to resolving escalations, fostering a culture of teamwork and mutual support.

Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the refinement of escalation processes and practices, identifying opportunities for improvement and innovation within the team's operations.

Documentation: Maintain thorough documentation of investigations, resolutions, and any follow-up actions to ensure a clear record and facilitate knowledge sharing within the team.

Customer Communication: Communicate effectively with clients and customers, providing clear updates and ensuring a positive experience through the escalation process.

What you will need:

At a minimum, a Bachelor's degree or equivalent education, or equivalent work experience.

Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Strong skills in scripting languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript), SQL, and operational configuration.

Knowledge of monitoring tools and software debugging techniques.

Analytical Skills: Excellent problem-solving abilities, with a keen analytical mindset adept at diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues.

Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills, capable of effectively articulating technical details to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Adaptability: Ability to adapt to a rapidly changing environment and manage simultaneous projects with varying priorities.

Added bonus if you have

Typical qualifications for the role are 2+ years of relevant professional experience or equivalent advanced education.

Experience in a technical support or engineering role within a SaaS or customer-facing software environment.

Experience in building mission critical tools for internal users with scripting, SQL, low code, or no code technologies like Retool.
