About the Role
We are seeking a Support Desk Engineer to be the primary owner of Foundry platform support at Nscale. This role involves resolving technical issues, addressing user inquiries, and ensuring confident operation of the Foundry platform across the organization.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the first point of triage for all Foundry support requests, fielding questions, categorizing issues by complexity and impact, and taking ownership of resolution from initial contact through to close.
- Investigate and resolve Foundry issues independently wherever possible, applying deep knowledge of Spark, data pipelines, and platform architecture to diagnose root causes quickly and accurately.
- Escalate issues requiring deeper domain expertise to the right internal specialists, providing clear context and reproducing steps for fast resolution.
- Build and maintain documentation, runbooks, and FAQs to enable user self-service and reduce repeat queries.
- Develop and manage monitoring and reporting systems to track support volumes, resolution times, and recurring failure patterns, using data to drive proactive improvements.
- Identify systemic issues surfaced through support requests and collaborate with development teams to address root causes.
- Contribute to onboarding and training materials to enhance Foundry proficiency across the user base.
Requirements
- 2+ years of relevant experience working with Foundry or comparable data platforms, with an understanding of how business workflows map to technical platform structures.
- Hands-on experience troubleshooting Spark jobs, data pipelines, or data-processing issues, with the ability to investigate problems at the platform, pipeline, and data level.
- Structured, investigative problem-solving skills and the judgement to prioritise issues by complexity, urgency, and business impact.
- Exposure to support processes such as triage, escalation, resolution tracking, and recurring-issue analysis.
- Strong written communication skills, with experience creating clear documentation, runbooks, FAQs, or support workflows.
- Confidence working with both technical and non-technical users, translating ambiguous issues into clear next steps and escalating effectively to development teams or Palantir support when needed.
