## Description

We're looking for an Application Support Specialist who is not just technically sharp but also curious about how things work and why they matter to the business. Our support team sits at the crossroads of IT Operations and Software Development, acting as detectives of production issues in both client-facing and internal applications.
This is not your typical button-pushing support role - you'll deep-dive into application behavior, investigate source code, and connect the dots between technical symptoms and business impact. If you're someone who enjoys solving puzzles, automating repetitive tasks, and wants the freedom to propose and implement ideas, we'd love to hear from you.
What tasks can you expect with us?

 * Own and resolve technical incidents by investigating logs, application code, and business flows
 * Prioritize issues based on business impact and collaborate with developers when deeper fixes are needed
 * Use SQL and Java to explore, reproduce, and resolve application behaviors
 * Act as a communication bridge between IT, Development, and Business teams
 * Spot trends, detect recurring issues, and proactively prevent future incidents
 * Participate in small-scale automation or optimization projects where you will have the freedom to explore new approaches
