About the role

We are partnering with a leading organisation to find a skilled Application Support Analyst ready to own the reliability of critical business software. You will be the first and second line of defence — fielding complex user issues, digging into root causes, and seeing fixes through to resolution.

This is a collaborative, high-visibility role where you will work closely with Development, Design, Product, and Account Management teams to deliver outstanding outcomes for end users.

Key responsibilities

- Provide L1 and L2 application support for business software running on Linux — triaging, troubleshooting, and resolving complex user issues end-to-end
- Conduct thorough root cause analysis on recurring incidents and implement lasting solutions
- Write and execute SQL queries to investigate data issues, validate fixes, and produce management reports
- Log, prioritise, and manage incidents and service requests through to resolution within an ITIL-aligned service desk framework
- Collaborate actively with Development, Design, Product Owner, and Account Management teams to coordinate fixes, releases, and user communications
- Deliver transparent, customer-focused communication at every stage — keeping users informed and confident throughout an incident
- Maintain accurate documentation including runbooks, known errors, and knowledge base articles




- Monitor application health and proactively identify trends before they become incidents

Essential requirements

- Australian citizenship — required for security clearance eligibility
- Demonstrated L1 and L2 application support experience with business software, including troubleshooting complex user issues, root cause analysis, and implementing solutions.
- Good knowledge of Linux
- Solid SQL skills — writing queries, joins, and data investigation to support troubleshooting and reporting
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a genuine customer-service mindset
- Service desk experience working within an IT Service Desk or Service Management framework (ITIL fundamentals preferred) — including logging, prioritising, and managing incidents and service requests through to resolution
- Proven ability to collaborate across teams — Development, Design, Product Owner, Account Management, and other stakeholders

Highly regarded

- Experience reading and interpreting application logs and error traces
- Scripting ability — PowerShell, Python, or Bash
- Exposure to cloud platforms such as Azure or AWS
