  • Support the integration and maintenance of internal and third-party APIs, including monitoring API uptime, response times, and error rates, and escalating anomalies to the relevant teams.
  • Coordinate with the NOC Manager on system monitoring, uptime, incident response, and escalation procedures across all markets.
  • Maintain NOC runbooks and incident documentation, contributing to post-incident reviews and continuous improvement processes.
  • Participate in on-call rotations for critical system and application incidents as required.
  • Liaise with in-country IT and operations teams across markets to support issue resolution and ensure consistent service delivery.
