The Role

Your Role:

As an Application Support Analyst, you will be responsible for supporting, maintaining, and troubleshooting enterprise Java and Spring Boot applications to ensure high availability, stability, performance, and service quality. You will work within an Application Managed Services (AMS) environment, managing production incidents, supporting DevOps activities, and collaborating with development, infrastructure, database, middleware, and business teams to deliver reliable application services and continuous operational improvements.

What Will You Do:

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve production incidents, defects, performance issues, API failures, connectivity problems, and service requests for enterprise Java applications.
• Investigate and resolve Java and Spring Boot issues involving JVM performance, garbage collection, memory utilization, threading, application startup failures, and runtime exceptions.
• Manage incidents, problems, changes, and service requests using ITIL-aligned processes while ensuring SLA, KPI, and service-quality commitments are achieved.
• Support CI/CD pipelines, build activities, deployments, release validation, rollback planning, configuration management, and post-deployment monitoring.
• Utilize approved AI-enabled support tools for incident triage, log analysis, root-cause investigation, operational automation, and knowledge retrieval activities.
• Perform root-cause analysis, identify recurring issues, implement permanent fixes, and drive initiatives focused on operational stability and service improvement.
• Maintain operational documentation including runbooks, troubleshooting guides, knowledge articles, known-error databases, and support procedures.
• Collaborate with L1/L2/L3 teams, developers, infrastructure, middleware, database, security, and business stakeholders to ensure effective incident resolution and service delivery.

These roles not only offer the chance to inspire and innovate, but also bring with them a sense of pride and accomplishment for having reached the pinnacle of your career in the software industry.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

• Strong hands-on experience with Java 8+, Object-Oriented Programming, Collections, Exception Handling, Debugging, Multithreading concepts, and Spring Boot applications.
• Good understanding of Spring Boot architecture, configuration management, profiles, application properties, dependency injection, Spring MVC, Spring Data, transactions, and RESTful services.
• Experience supporting enterprise Java applications, troubleshooting production issues, analyzing logs, stack traces, performance bottlenecks, and application failures.
• Knowledge of SQL, relational databases, REST APIs, JSON, HTTP/HTTPS, authentication, authorization, API testing, and integration troubleshooting.
• Experience with ITIL-based support processes, incident management, problem management, change management, SLA management, escalation management, and customer-facing support.
• Exposure to Git, CI/CD pipelines, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, deployment processes, release management, monitoring tools, and basic scripting using Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, stakeholder management, documentation, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently in production support environments.

Preferred Professional and Technical Expertise:

• Experience with Spring Boot Microservices, Spring Cloud, distributed systems, and enterprise integration architectures.
• Exposure to Azure App Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), AWS, GCP, cloud-native hosting, and modern application platforms.
• Experience supporting application modernization, migration, automated deployments, observability platforms, and DevOps transformation initiatives.
• Experience working in industries such as BFSI, Retail, Healthcare, or Manufacturing supporting business-critical enterprise applications.
• Relevant certifications in Java, Spring, Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP, ITIL 4, DevOps, or related technologies are preferred.
