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.
