Job description
At Qualtrics, we create software the world’s best brands use to deliver exceptional frontline experiences, build high-performing teams, and design products people love. But we are more than a platform—we are the creators and stewards of the Experience Management category serving over 18K clients globally. Building a category takes grit, determination, and a disdain for convention—but most of all it requires close-knit, high-functioning teams with an unwavering dedication to serving our customers.
When you join one of our teams, you’ll be part of a nimble group that’s empowered to set aggressive goals and move fast to achieve them. Strategic risks are encouraged and complex problems are solved together, by passing the microphone and iterating until the best solution comes to light. You won’t have to look to find growth opportunities—ready or not, they’ll find you. From retail to government to healthcare, we’re on a mission to bring humanity, connection, and empathy back to business. Join over 5,000 people across the globe who think that’s work worth doing.
Software Support Engineer II
Why We Have This Role
Our team is a collection of extremely passionate engineers who are riding the cutting edge of cloud computing and web scalability. We organize and sort terabytes of data and develop solutions used by millions of users every day. We design tools that make sophisticated research simple. Our teams are empowered to choose technologies that are best to solve each problem. In our collaborative culture, you find plenty of opportunities to impact our full-stack product; from Web & mobile UI to data visualization & analysis to microservices APIs to data storage & processing.
How You’ll Find Success
You turn unclear customer problems into clear steps to test and fix, without needing much direction.
You take initiative: you ask for the outcome, gather the context from logs, metrics, and code, and then get it done.
You communicate early and often, set expectations, and help others make good choices with simple, fact-based updates.
You don’t just fix issues - you stop them from happening again by spotting patterns, suggesting solid fixes, and adding alerts and runbooks.
You are hands-on with code (Java/Node/Go), SQL, and system data to find root causes and check your fixes.
You make the team faster by automating repeat work, improving CI/CD, and building simple tools and reports.
You work well with Support, Product, and Engineering across time zones, balance urgency with long-term quality, and raise the team’s skills by sharing what you learn and guiding others through hard production problems.
How You’ll Grow
You’ll grow by tackling high-impact production issues that stretch your debugging, coding, and systems skills.
You’ll learn new tools and technologies across the stack - from backend services and data pipelines to monitoring and CI/CD - and use them on real problems.
You’ll take on increasingly complex projects, moving from fixing individual issues to shaping preventative tools, alerts, and reliability practices.
You’ll broaden your influence by partnering with Support, Product, and Engineering, improving your communication and leadership, and mentoring others as you gain expertise.
Things You’ll Do
- Triage and analyze customer-reported issues across multiple services and product feature areas, investigating both immediate problems and broader patterns or needs beyond single issue scopes.
- Investigate application code and logs to identify root causes, troubleshoot complex issues, and implement fixes or provide detailed information to application engineers.
- Resolve escalated issues from more junior engineers, demonstrating an in-depth understanding of the platform and tools.
- Design, implement, and utilize tools and reports to accelerate issue resolution and improve operational efficiency.
- Cooperate closely with Engineering, Customer Success, Customer Support, and Product Management teams locally and internationally to ensure seamless communication and issue tracking.
- Identify and monitor trends in application quality and performance, implementing alerts and proactive measures to safeguard key business metrics.
- Operationalize services and product features with minimal oversight, creating sustainable processes that enable other teams to manage ongoing tasks effectively.
- Serve as a mentor and knowledge resource by teaching and guiding junior team members to build overall team capabilities.
What We’re Looking For On Your Resume
- 2-5 years of experience in similar role
- Ability to read code (like Java, Node, Go)
- Ability to read application logs
- Familiarity with one of the scripting languages (Bash, Python, Perl or other)
- Ability to write SQL queries and execute common DB operations (extracts, mass delete etc)
- Experience in diagnosing customer production issues
- Experience building and/or managing software deployment pipelines (CI/CD)
- Excellent English communication skills, written and spoken
- Analytical thinking
- Proactive approach to issues and trends
