We are excited to expand our Platform Engineering team by adding an Application Support Engineer who will own the production health of our application stack. We are seeking candidates who are passionate about software engineering, operational excellence, and solving business problems with state-of-the-art technology solutions. Join our award-winning technology team and grow your career!
Your role.
Your work will include, but not be limited to:
- Triage, reproduce, debug, and resolve production incidents in .NET (C#) and React applications, delivering permanent code fixes rather than workarounds.
- Lead root cause analysis (RCA) and post-incident reviews; drive blameless postmortems and follow through on the corrective code changes.
- Serve as the engineering owner of production support for the Application Development portfolio, developing deep working knowledge of the applications, their data, and the business processes they support.
- Write and tune C# and SQL code to diagnose and correct defects, performance bottlenecks, and data issues found in production.
- Use existing observability tooling (Application Insights, Log Analytics, Azure Monitor) to investigate issues; contribute dashboards, queries, and alerts for the applications you support.
- Track Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) for the applications you support, and partner with development teams to drive improvements when reliability targets are at risk.
- Partner with the Application Development team on the design, build, and support of resilient, scalable, and secure full stack solutions built on .NET (C#) and React.
- Participate in application design and development as needed to prevent recurrence of production defects.
- Leverage AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Copilot in Azure, and similar) to accelerate debugging, incident triage, and root cause analysis.
- Collaborate with Infrastructure, Security, and Networking teams to ensure applications meet enterprise standards for availability, security, and compliance.
- Contribute to system and performance testing to proactively identify weaknesses before they reach production.
- Mentor developers on production-readiness, defect prevention, and supportable code practices.
- Create and maintain documentation, runbooks, and known-error records for the applications you support.
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives.
The qualifications.
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
- Minimum of 3 years of hands-on development experience building and maintaining applications with C# .NET, React, MS SQL, and REST APIs is required.
- Proven experience as a full stack developer who has carried production support responsibility for the applications they built.
- Demonstrated experience diagnosing production defects from logs, traces, and stack traces, then delivering the code fix through to release.
- Working knowledge of Azure application services (App Service, Functions, Storage, Queues, Key Vault, API Management) from a developer’s perspective.
- Practical experience using Application Insights and Log Analytics to investigate application behavior in production.
- Strong understanding and experience using Postman or a similar tool to test APIs during development.
- Strong coding, debugging, and troubleshooting skills with a solid understanding of relational databases, data models, and distributed systems.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities, particularly under pressure during production incidents.
- Working knowledge of git source control and branching practices.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate technical issues for non-technical audiences.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and participate in an on-call rotation.
Preferred (good to have, not required):
- Working familiarity with CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, release patterns such as blue/green and canary, and Infrastructure as Code (Bicep, ARM, or Terraform) is preferred, not required.
- Familiarity with SRE principles: SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, toil reduction, incident management, and blameless postmortems.
- Exposure to AIOps platforms or AI-driven observability (e.g., Azure Monitor with AI insights, or similar).
- Experience contributing to internal developer tooling or automation.
- Knowledge of service level agreements (SLAs) and performance metrics.
