As a Service Desk Engineer, you will be the first line of defence for enterprise clients operating in a 24ร—7 environment. You will handle incident tickets, coordinate escalations, and ensure that critical systems stay up and running. The role blends technical troubleshooting with strong customer communication, requiring you to triage alerts, initiate Major Incident Management when needed, and provide accurate, timely updates across multiple channels. You will also mentor junior team members, contribute to knowledgeโ€‘base articles, and help drive continuous improvement initiatives. **Key Responsibilities** 1. Log, prioritise and resolve incidents, escalating to L1/L2/L3 teams as per defined SLAs. 2. Communicate incident status and resolution steps clearly to customers via phone, email and chat. 3. Perform advanced reporting and data collection to aid rootโ€‘cause analysis. 4.

Respond to service requests with accurate information and timely execution. 8. Maintain flexible shift schedules to support roundโ€‘theโ€‘clock service desk operations. 9. Contribute to serviceโ€‘quality metrics, process documentation and continuousโ€‘improvement projects. 10. Stay updated on ITSM tools, ITIL practices, and emerging technologies relevant to the support stack. **Tech Stack & Tools**: ITIL/ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, BMC), Microsoft Office suite, basic SAP modules, Linux command line, SQL/DB monitoring tools, networking fundamentals, remote desktop utilities. **Growth Path**: Starting as a Service Desk Engineer, high performers can progress to Senior Engineer, Incident Manager, or shift into specialised roles such as SAP Support Analyst, Cloud Operations Engineer, or IT Service Management Lead. The company encourages certifications (ITIL, Microsoft, SAP) and offers learning allowances to accelerate career growth. **Why Join Protera?** The firm offers a workโ€‘fromโ€‘home setup, comprehensive medical benefits, shift and onโ€‘call allowances, and a culture that rewards learning through certifications and bounty bonuses.

Technical questions 5
Explain OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) principles with real-world examples in Incident Management. Answer
Model answer: 1. Encapsulation (data hiding via private fields/getters). 2. Abstraction (hiding implementation complexity). 3. Inheritance (code reusability). 4. Polymorphism (method overriding/overloading).
What is the time and space complexity of QuickSort vs MergeSort? Answer
Model answer: QuickSort: Average O(N log N) time, O(log N) space. Worst O(N^2). MergeSort: Guaranteed O(N log N) time, but requires O(N) auxiliary space.
Explain the difference between SQL Indexing (B-Tree vs Hash) and when not to use an index. Answer
Model answer: Indexes speed up SELECT queries via B-Trees. However, they slow down INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations because indexes must be updated on disk. Avoid on low-cardinality columns (e.g., boolean flags).
What happens under the hood when you enter a URL in a browser? Answer
Model answer: 1. DNS lookup (resolves IP). 2. TCP 3-way handshake (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK). 3. TLS negotiation for HTTPS. 4. HTTP GET request sent. 5. Server responds with HTML/CSS/JS. 6. Browser renders DOM & CSSOM tree.
What is the difference between REST and GraphQL APIs? Answer
Model answer: REST uses multiple fixed endpoints with possible over/under-fetching. GraphQL uses a single endpoint allowing clients to query exact fields in a single request.
Behavioural & HR questions 3
Why do you want to join Protera as a Service Desk Engineer?
