About the Team

The Global Fix Experience (GFX) Team is a global team that takes full ownership of production Bug and Outages and drives them all the way to resolution in real-time. The team serves two key functions while bridging the gap between our support and engineering organizations. 1) We triage agent reports of possible bugs and outages to identify system issues by deeper investigations, reproducing the issue, and escalating them to the appropriate team to drive resolution in a timely manner. 2) We also handle incident response protocols during outages to ensure that key partners are updated as well as we provide the support needed to connect the dots.
