Focus: Application Support / BAU / Troubleshooting
Overview
- We are seeking a Systems Analyst to support business-as-usual (BAU) operations, acting as a critical bridge between application support and BAU delivery teams.
- This role is ideal for someone who can analyze issues independently, read and interpret code, and collaborate closely with developers to resolve complex production issues.
- This is not a heavily business-facing role, but requires occasional interaction with stakeholders. The primary focus is on support, troubleshooting, and keeping systems running ("keeping the lights on").
- This role is focused on support and technical analysis-not pure development or pure business analysis
- Ideal candidate is a "technical systems analyst" or "support-focused BA" who can read code
- Must be comfortable diving deep into backend issues and databases
- Will primarily interface with development and support teams, not business stakeholders
- Critical to have strong communication skills due to cross-team collaboration
Key Responsibilities
- Provide Level III application support across custom enterprise applications
- Perform deep-dive troubleshooting and root cause analysis on production issues
- Analyze issues escalated from support teams and package findings for development teams
- Act as a bridge between application support and BAU delivery/development teams
- Conduct independent analysis before engaging developers ("analyze before hand-off")
- Read and interpret code to diagnose issues (no hands-on development required)
- Partner with developers to walk through code and resolve defects collaboratively
- Work against a backlog of incidents, defects, and enhancement requests
- Support application enhancements and continuous improvement efforts
- Perform backend / database troubleshooting with a strong SQL focus
- Identify manual processes and recommend automation opportunities
- Support incident management and ITSM processes (ServiceNow or equivalent tools)
- Assist with strategic/architectural thinking to reduce recurring issues and improve system stability
Required Qualifications
- Strong experience in application support and BAU environments
- Proven ability to read and understand code for troubleshooting purposes
- Strong SQL skills (querying, analysis, backend troubleshooting)
- Experience with ITSM tools (ServiceNow or similar)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities with the ability to work independently
- Experience handling support escalations and working across support development teams
