• Investigate issues involving document quality, classification and extraction results, workflow failures, document-package assembly, configuration, transaction processing, integrated loan-origination or point-of-sale systems, and reporting outcomes.

• Monitor application health, availability, processing activity, performance, scheduled operations, and operational trends; identify service risks and escalate or recommend preventive improvements.

• Support application deployments, releases, upgrades, maintenance activities, testing, and change-management processes, including validation of fixes and features in non-production and production environments.

• Analyze APIs, integrations, system interactions, data movement, and business process flows to identify dependencies, failure points, and downstream impacts.

• Create and maintain accurate knowledge base articles, runbooks, troubleshooting guides, known-error records, application-support procedures, and client-facing or internal communications.

• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive support activities, improve observability, reduce recurring incidents, strengthen data quality, and improve the client's experience.

• Share application knowledge and troubleshooting practices with teammates and provide guidance to less experienced specialists without direct people-management responsibility.

• Handle other related responsibilities consistent with the role.

AI Support & Innovation Responsibilities

• Support AI-enabled document-processing capabilities, including document classification, optical character recognition, data extraction, workflow processing, page merge logic, integrated outputs, and quality-review processes.
