## Description

This is a senior Hogan IDS support and problem management role supporting deposit applications. We're looking for someone who can investigate production issues, perform root cause analysis, advise development teams, and serve as a trusted subject matter expert. This is not a hands-on application development role and not a Java-focused position. That positioning should help significantly reduce the volume of unqualified Hogan keyword-stuffed resumes Erin has been seeing.
Key Responsibilities

 * Diagnose unknown issues quickly

 * Understand system behavior across multiple applications

 * Determine what failed and why

 * Restore service rapidly

 * Document resolutions

 * Recommend preventive improvements

 * Share knowledge with junior team members
 * Act as a subject matter expert
 * Advise Change-the-Bank development teams
 * Help determine solution approaches
 * Explain complex Hogan behaviors
 * Provide guidance more often than writing code
