📍 Dublin (Hybrid) | 💰 €45,000 - €50,000 + Bonus | 🏡 Hybrid Working

Our client is looking for an experienced Application Support Analyst to join their internal IT team and support a range of business-critical applications, ERP systems and integrations.

This is a hands-on technical role for someone who is comfortable getting beyond the front end of an application and working out where an issue has actually occurred. You could be tracing a failed transaction through an application, API, database, scheduled process or downstream system, using SQL, logs and API testing tools to get to the root cause.

The role would suit someone with a solid background in production application support who is already comfortable working across ERP, SQL and integrations and wants to continue building their technical depth.

• Investigate B2B integrations, automated data flows, scheduled jobs, queues and file transfers.
• Review logs, payloads and structured data including JSON, XML and CSV when diagnosing issues.
• Manage incidents, service requests and technical escalations through an ITSM platform.
• Support controlled changes through Test/UAT and into Production.
• Work closely with developers, internal IT teams and external technology partners on more complex issues.
• Document root causes, workarounds, SOPs and technical knowledge.
• Support application access, permissions and role-based security.
• Take ownership of issues through investigation, escalation and final resolution.
• Provide occasional planned out-of-hours support for releases or maintenance.
