We’re looking for a curious, detail-oriented problem solver to join our Support Maintenance Services team. In this role, you’ll help us identify and troubleshoot performance issues across our platform — whether they originate in the code, the database, or the infrastructure.

You’ll work alongside a collaborative team that’s focused on reliability, observability, and internal tooling. It’s a great fit for someone with a strong technical foundation, an interest in diagnosing complex issues, and a desire to grow their skills in application performance and platform operations.

What You’ll Do

• Play a key role in maintaining the performance and reliability of a platform used by major financial institutions — your investigations help prevent client impact before it happens
• Diagnose slowdowns, timeouts, and system issues using powerful tools like Splunk, Dynatrace, and SolarWinds
• Analyze real-world application behavior — digging into Java stack traces, SQL execution plans, and other performance clues to get to the root of issues
• Collaborate with experienced engineers across teams to help resolve performance problems quickly and clearly
• Translate technical findings into actionable insights that improve the stability and scalability of our platform
• (Bonus) Contribute to internal tools that improve how we monitor, maintain, and support the system — helping the whole company move faster and smarter
  
  

You Might Be a Fit If You...

• Have some experience working with Java-based applications (e.g., debugging logs, tracing code) OR
• Have a background in SQL Server (e.g., analyzing query performance, execution plans, waits, etc.)
  
  

And you also:

• Are comfortable using or learning tools like Splunk, Dynatrace, or SolarWinds
• Have strong problem-solving instincts and enjoy digging into technical issues
• Communicate clearly — in writing and in conversation
• Want to grow your skills in application performance, observability, and site reliability engineering — or explore a future in SRE or platform engineering
  
  

Bonus Points For

• Experience performance tuning SQL queries
• Familiarity with performance monitoring dashboards
• Basic scripting or automation skills
• Interest in building internal tools or improving operational workflows
