The Position

MetaDefender Managed File Transfer (MFT) is the next generation of OPSWAT's file transfer solution, built for scale and security, with OPSWAT's threat prevention technology built into every file flow.

We're looking for a mid-level Sustaining Engineer to join the MFT engineering team and act as the technical bridge between our customers and our developers. Reporting to the MFT Engineering Manager, you'll be the first engineer on customer-escalated bugs and technical questions: diagnosing issues, fixing what you can directly, and routing the rest to the right place. You'll keep the core dev team focused on building the product instead of firefighting every live customer issue.

What You Will Be Doing

Own the triage of customer-escalated bugs and technical questions.

Spot when a reported issue is really an enhancement request, and route it accordingly instead of building a one-off fix.

Join ad hoc customer calls with Customer Experience, Sales, and Solution Engineers to troubleshoot live issues.

Diagnose escalated issues, implement C# fixes, and ship them through standard PR review.

Write and run targeted MSSQL scripts for one-off customer fixes when needed.

Build and maintain a knowledge base for recurring issues.

Develop AI tools to improve escalation handling and troubleshooting.

Participate in weekend on-call support when needed.

What We Need From You

Mid-level experience — comfortable owning a live customer issue independently.

Solid C# skills: enough to read, debug, and safely patch an existing codebase under time pressure.

Comfortable writing and running MSSQL scripts against production-adjacent data.

Working knowledge of infrastructure, enough to reason about where a customer issue lives in the stack.

Strong spoken and written English — you'll be in front of customers regularly.

Why You'll Love Working Here

A stable, growing international company with an established customer base across 50+ countries.

Direct ownership: your fixes reach real customers fast, with no long release queue for the small stuff.

Professional development through training, mentoring, and real opportunities for advancement.
