- Lead technical troubleshooting calls with support engineers, internal operations teams, and other stakeholders.
- Provide evidence, logs, screenshots, and configuration details needed to move support cases toward resolution.
- Evaluate reports of potential security control bypasses and distinguish genuine exposure from expected product behavior.

- Monitor frequent product updates and understand how new or modified features affect the enterprise environment.
- Operate independently and take ownership of investigations to allow product and engineering resources to remain focused on feature delivery.
