About FlexManager

FlexManager is a large-scale compliance, assets, workforce and safety management SaaS platform used by global brands. It is a custom-built PHP monolith of approximately 149 pluggable business modules (HR, work orders, equipment, incidents, audits, training, finance and more), running on MySQL/MariaDB, with a versioned V8 REST API serving native iOS and Android apps and third-party integrations.

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Level 3 Technical Support Specialist to act as the final escalation point for complex technical issues across the platform. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can read our codebase and database directly, reproduce and isolate defects, and fix them directly rather than simply handing a symptom over to the development team.

Because we run a custom framework (not Laravel, Symfony or any off-the-shelf stack), the value here is in learning our world - the module structure, the ORM, the API layer and the patch pipeline - and becoming the person who knows where things live and why they break. The role carries real ownership and direct exposure to product, engineering and customers.

Hours of work: Monday to Friday 10 am to 6pm.

Key Responsibilities

● Act as the highest tier of technical escalation for complex, unresolved customer issues across a multi-tenant SaaS platform

● Diagnose and resolve issues spanning the PHP application, the MySQL/MariaDB database, the REST API and external integrations (SSO/SAML, email delivery, mobile sync)

● Read application and error logs, API request/response traces and notification pipelines to pinpoint failures

● Reproduce and isolate bugs, then implement the fix within the correct module rather than handing over a symptom for developers to solve

● Distinguish product bugs from customer configuration, permissions/ACL scoping, or module-option issues before escalating

● Own and manage complex tickets through to resolution, including per-customer patches applied through our release workflow

● Escalate to developers only where a genuine architecture-level change is required

● Identify recurring issues and recommend product or process improvements

● Maintain technical documentation and knowledge base articles that reflect how the platform actually behaves

● Monitor system performance and assist with incident management across customer instances

● Contribute to testing and validation of releases and patches using our in-house test framework

Required Skills & Experience

● Minimum 5 years in a technical support, application support or similar hands-on technical role

● Proven experience handling Level 3 / escalated issues end to end, including implementing the fix

● Strong SQL - able to write and interpret non-trivial queries against MySQL/MariaDB to investigate data, not just read pre-built reports

● Comfortable reading and writing code to trace and resolve behaviour directly - specifically PHP; you must be able to follow a code path and fix it, not just diagnose what a screen or endpoint is doing

● Experience with application logs, REST APIs and system integrations (authentication, webhooks, third-party services)

● Familiarity with multi-tenant SaaS platforms and enterprise software environments

● Excellent problem-solving and root-cause analysis - methodical isolation over guesswork

● Experience using ticketing and support platforms

● Ability to work independently and take ownership in a small team

Desirable Attributes

● Experience talking directly with customers

● Experience mentoring or coaching junior technical staff

● Familiarity with compliance, workforce or safety management software (our problem domain)

● Exposure to PHP and JavaScript; scripting ability for investigation and one-off data checks

● Exposure to mobile app support

● Experience working directly with development teams in an agile environment, including validating patches and releases before rollout

Education

● College degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field required

● PRINCE2 or similar project management certification (desirable)
