Let's talk about the cool stuff you will do at Axi!

The Application Support Engineer role sits within Axi’s Technology department and is responsible for ensuring the stability, availability, security, and performance of applications running within the Axi environment.

This role acts as first-line application support, working closely with internal development teams, infrastructure teams, external vendors, and business stakeholders to resolve incidents, investigate production and trade-related issues, and support application deployments and changes.

You will promote best practices in supportability, monitoring, incident management, and operational excellence, ensuring that all applications are reliable, scalable, and fit for business use within a global, high-availability trading environment.

Your EDGE Assignment/You Will

• Respond promptly to support calls, alerts, and emails, maintaining clear, professional communication with internal stakeholders and external partners.
• Monitor application health using system logs, alerts, observability tools, transaction reporting, and FIX sessions; escalate issues as required.
• Investigate production and trade-related incidents, including data and transaction issues, and gather relevant information to support root cause investigations.

• Support and troubleshoot Akamai and Cloudflare configurations, including routing, DNS, CDN, and security-related changes.
• Proactively identify risks, recurring issues, and improvement opportunities to enhance operational effectiveness and system reliability.
• Take end-to-end ownership of issues, driving resolution rather than relying solely on escalation.
