The Role

We are seeking Application Support Engineers to act as the bridge between our internal customers, stakeholders, and product teams. You will listen to and understand reported issues, log and track them as incident tickets in Jira, analyse them to establish impact and probable cause, and work closely with product owners to identify the underlying issue and drive it to resolution. The ideal candidate combines sharp analytical thinking with clear, empathetic communication and a strong sense of ownership over every incident until closure.

Key Responsibilities

• Issue Intake : Engage with internal customers and stakeholders to understand reported issues, ask the right clarifying questions, and capture complete, accurate details including steps to reproduce.
• Incident Ticketing : Create and maintain well-structured incident tickets in Jira with appropriate priority, severity, business impact, and supporting evidence such as screenshots and logs.
• Issue Analysis : Analyse application behaviour, data, and logs to triage issues - distinguishing user errors, data or configuration problems, and genuine product defects.
• Product Owner Collaboration : Work closely with product owners and engineering teams to identify the underlying issue, agree on ownership, and follow through to resolution.
• Communication & Follow-up : Keep reporters and stakeholders informed with timely, clear status updates; manage expectations and escalate as per defined SLAs.
• Trend & Knowledge Management : Identify recurring issues and patterns, maintain runbooks and known-issue documentation, and recommend permanent fixes to reduce repeat incidents.
• Process Adherence : Follow incident management workflows, prioritisation guidelines, and escalation procedures, and contribute to their continuous improvement.
