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
