The Junior Product Support Engineer helps keep Trade Nation’s client-facing platforms stable, reliable, and performing well. Working closely with and reporting to the Product Support Engineer, this role supports production monitoring, issue triage, and incident response — acting as a first point of contact for platform issues during Asia-Pacific hours.

Based in Kuala Lumpur, the role extends platform support coverage across APAC time zones, complementing the UK team and improving out-of-hours responsiveness. This is a junior-level position, fully supported, with a clear path to grow into a full Product Support Engineer as platform knowledge and autonomy develop.
