ROLE 2: Tier 2 Technical Support Engineer
Location: Philadelphia, PA – 100% Onsite
Duration: Contract to Hire
What This Role Is
This is a more technically hands-on role that owns escalated issues beyond what frontline support can handle. The engineer works directly with end users, Customer Success, and engineering to diagnose and resolve application issues using logs, database queries, and system-level tools. This is real diagnostic work — not scripted troubleshooting.
Who We are Looking For
Someone technically solid and methodical who is comfortable digging into a Windows-based web application stack without being a software developer. They need strong instincts, a structured approach to investigation, and the ability to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. This person doesn’t need to write code, but they do need to get their hands dirty with SQL, logs, and system tools.
Technical Baseline
● 2+ years in technical support, application analysis, or a similar hands-on role
● Working knowledge of Windows Server environments (IIS, Windows Event Viewer, file systems, services)
● Ability to write basic SQL queries — filtering, joins, aggregations
● Experience reading application and system logs to identify root causes
● Familiarity with web application fundamentals (HTTP, client/server, browser-based interfaces)
Nice to Haves
● IIS log analysis and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
● Ticketing system experience: Jira, Zendesk, ServiceNow
● Background in regulated environments — healthcare, government, or financial services
● Monitoring tools: Dynatrace, Datadog, PagerDuty
● Basic PowerShell for diagnostics
How to Sell It
● This role has real technical depth — candidates who are bored by scripted support and want to do meaningful diagnostic work will find it engaging
● Exposure to a complex enterprise web application
● Part of a growing, maturing support function with room to make an impact
