Application Support Analyst

Sinara Consultants are recruiting skilled, adaptable and inquisitive Application Support Analysts to join our application support team. You will be supporting a number of our business-critical applications, providing third-line support to a variety of customers. The role requires availability outside of working hours on a rotational basis.

About the role

You will be responsible for analysing, prioritising and resolving customer support Incidents which may be application, data or system related.

The primary duties of this job comprise:

  • Analysing and prioritising Incidents reported by our customers
  • Conducting investigations to provide a solution or a short-term workaround
  • Liaising with our developers when potential software defects are identified
  • Communicating with the customer until Incident resolution

The role also includes the following additional responsibilities:

  • Pro-actively maintaining support material
  • Contributing to customer service performance reports
  • Documenting routine change requests
  • Undertaking routine data or system configuration tasks
  • Working alongside the developers undertaking application and system testing

About you

You will have at least one year’s experience working in a customer facing support role in an IT environment. Although your academic qualifications are not critically important, you will be dealing with technically able colleagues who set high standards. We are not looking for any specific certification but you will need to demonstrate some relevant experience.

Your essential skills

The qualities we are looking for include:

  • A general understanding of Microsoft Windows infrastructure is essential, including Web Service technologies
  • A good understanding of SQL Server databases
  • The ability to construct relatively complex SQL queries
  • An enthusiasm for getting the job done without compromising accuracy or quality
  • The ability to learn quickly those concepts with which you are unfamiliar
  • A fine attention to detail
  • Good verbal and written communication
  • Effective time management and organisational skills

Your desirable skills

Knowledge of financial trading and market data would be useful, as would general understanding of Linux and AWS, but this is not essential.

Your attributes

You may have a software development, system or database administration background but will be keen to move to an application support role with a broader knowledge base. Our specialist applications are varied and you will need to acquire a general understanding of the underlying business processes and data structures.

Working hours

Full-time, 37.5 hours per week. We are currently working on a flexible hybrid workplace basis.
