Application Development Analyst

Depending on experience, the selected candidate may join SAN at the Business Applications Analyst or Senior Business Applications Analyst level, with the Senior level taking greater ownership of complex solutions, technical strategy, and cross-functional initiatives.

The ideal candidate is someone who likes a good systems puzzle: resourceful, collaborative, and energized by problems that don’t come with an instruction manual. SAN operates within a complex, established enterprise technology environment, where the answer isn’t always a new application or an out-of-the-box solution. Sometimes it means getting under the hood of an existing system, understanding how information moves between platforms, and finding a creative way forward.

This is an opportunity to work alongside like-minded problem solvers who aren’t afraid to pull out a piece of paper, map out a challenge together, question what isn’t working, and keep at it until they find a solution.

• Lead Application Solutions: Serve as a technology partner across the Airport Authority, helping teams solve business challenges and improve how enterprise applications support their work.
