ABOUT US

At Quanika, we build software platforms for security and operational management. Our technology is flexible, scalable, and straightforward to integrate into real-world environments. We focus on delivering robust access control, visitor management, and operational products, and making sure they are successfully adopted across a wide range of projects.

As we continue to grow across the UAE and wider region, we are looking for talented individuals who want to be part of a focused, ambitious company delivering enterprise-class security management solutions.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a technically strong Technical Support Engineer to join our Dubai team.

Day-to-day, you will take ownership of support issues from first contact through to resolution, working across software, database, networking, and integration layers to identify root causes and resolve problems efficiently. You will also spend time on-site supporting customers, commissioning systems alongside system integrators, conducting health checks, and assisting with proof-of-concept activities.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys troubleshooting complex systems, takes ownership of customer issues, and is comfortable balancing both office-based and field-based responsibilities.

• Support customers through software upgrades, migrations, configuration changes, and platform expansions.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation, troubleshooting guides, knowledge base articles, and known issue records.
• Escalate software defects and complex technical issues to the development team with clear diagnostics, logs, and supporting evidence.
• Work closely with delivery, pre-sales, and development teams to ensure technical knowledge and customer requirements are effectively communicated throughout the project lifecycle.
• Assist in developing and improving internal support procedures, standards, and best practices as the company grows.
• Maintain a high level of technical knowledge across the Quanika product portfolio and associated technologies.
