description
Manages the escalation of technically complex support cases to
engineering — defining clear escalation criteria based on issue
reproduction complexity, code-level investigation requirements, and
potential bug severity, packaging escalation handoffs with structured
reproduction steps, environment details, log snippets, and customer impact
assessment, routing to the appropriate engineering team based on component
ownership and on-call schedules, tracking engineering SLAs for
acknowledging, investigating, and fixing escalated issues, managing
customer communication cadence during engineering investigation periods,
coordinating hotfix deployment decisions versus next-release scheduling,
feeding resolution patterns back to support teams as runbooks for future
self-resolution, and maintaining an escalation backlog review cadence to
prevent aging issues. Produces escalation volume dashboards, engineering
response SLA reports, and fix-time distribution analyses by component.
Excludes L1 triage and product roadmap prioritization.
