Application Support Specialist (Kuala Lumpur)

Application Support Specialist

Location Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (On-site)
Team Professional Services

Why This Job Is Exciting

You will support Innovatrics’ biometric software running in production environments, with a primary focus on a long-term partner project in Kuala Lumpur and additional global customer support outside on-call rotations. You’ll be the first technical point of contact for incidents and requests, working with a structured support process and backing from HQ Bratislava & APAC team.

In your first month, you’ll

• Learn the supported solution, customer context, and how our L1/L2/L3 support model works
• Shadow ticket handling, environment checks, and incident troubleshooting in real production setups
• Get onboarded into our tooling and documentation (Freshdesk, Jira, Confluence, monitoring/log platforms)

As you settle into the role, you’ll

• Own customer tickets end-to-end: triage, investigation, updates, and resolution within SLA
• Troubleshoot using logs, system behavior, and structured reproduction; escalate to L2/L3 when needed
• Coordinate with HQ and local stakeholders during incidents (Support team, System Engineers, Solution Managers, ...)

Within your first year, you’ll

• Resolve standard incidents independently and consistently according to the support process
• Contribute to knowledge base and ticket hygiene (clear steps, root cause notes, reproducible findings)
• Support stability: help minimize downtime through proactive checks, clean escalations, and follow-through

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Ticket ownership: analyze incidents, request missing info, reproduce issues, propose resolution steps
• Customer communication: keep tickets up to date, communicate progress clearly via portal/email/calls
• Operational support: monitoring, coordinating patches/changes in customer environments, and supporting troubleshooting sessions
• Escalations & collaboration: involve System Engineers / Solution Managers / Engineering when needed, track progress
• On-call participation: willingness to join scheduled 24/7 on-call rotations (project-dependent)

How Support Works at Innovatrics

• L1: Support team (you) — triage, investigation, customer comms, ticket ownership (career level T1-T2 - Junior)
• L2: System Engineers & Solution Managers — deeper troubleshooting, deployments, complex analysis
• L3: Engineering — product-level fixes and advanced technical resolution

You’ll have HQ Bratislava points of contact during onboarding and close cooperation as the APAC team scales.

What We’re Looking For

Languages

• English (professional spoken and written)
• Malay is a plus

Skills & mindset

• Strong ownership, structured troubleshooting, and attention to detail
• Comfortable communicating with customers under time pressure (SLA-driven)

• Linux administration experience in production environments
• Kubernetes fundamentals – ability to work with pods/services, collect and analyze logs, perform basic troubleshooting
• Ability to read logs and identify likely triggers and root causes

Nice-to-have

• Helm (basic usage or understanding)
• Databases: PostgreSQL / MSSQL / Oracle (connectivity checks, basic queries)
• Networking fundamentals (DNS, ports, firewalls, connectivity troubleshooting)
• Monitoring & logging tools: Grafana, ELK (or similar)
• Messaging services exposure
• Scripting / automation basics (Bash, Python, or similar)

On-call & availability

This role includes participation in scheduled 24/7 on-call rotations (project-dependent). During on-call periods, candidates must be able to reach the customer site within approximately one hour if required. Accommodation close to the site may be provided when necessary.
