• Escalate smartly: Utilize the Incident Management system to promptly and report customer‑impacting incidents and anomalies. Ensure that you flag them to the relevant stakeholders or teams beyond your own, when appropriate.

• Collaborate cross‑functionally: Work with Security and Engineering teams to support safe, reliable operations. Share timely updates, follow guidance, and contribute to solutions when possible.

• Grow expertise: Learn how PPRO’s products, systems, and operations work so you can respond faster and with greater accuracy.

• Problem‑solving mindset with a learning‑first approach.
• Security awareness in operational contexts.
• Curiosity for systems, monitoring, and modern tooling.
• Strong written/spoken English communication skills.
• Collaborative attitude and adaptability.
• Willingness to join a 24/7 shift rotation covering weekends.
