## Description

The Application Support Analyst serves as a critical bridge between our end users and the development team. You'll own the investigative lifecycle of application issues - from initial triage through root cause analysis - across our ecommerce website, proprietary ERP system, and content management platform. This is not a traditional help desk role; it requires curiosity, analytical thinking, and the confidence to dig deep into logs, data, source code, and to meet with users to understand the issues and find answers.

What You'll Do

 * Receive, triage, and prioritize incoming application support cases from internal users and the help desk
 * Investigate reported issues by reviewing application and server logs, querying databases, and attempting to replicate problems in a controlled environment
 * Assess the validity and severity of reported issues and document findings clearly for the development team
 * Collaborate directly with end users to gather context, clarify requirements, and explore whether an alternative workflow or solution might resolve the underlying need. The role would require occasional meetings with end users via Teams or in-person at the Rush City headquarters
 * Partner with developers to communicate well-documented, reproducible bug reports and business impact
 * Identify patterns in recurring issues and recommend process or system improvements
 * Assist with QA and regression testing and validation following application updates or deployments
 * Maintain clear, organized documentation of known issues, workarounds, and resolutions
