Key about your role

As a Technical Application Engineer, you help keep our customers’ LeanApps environments stable, secure and performing well. You investigate production issues, understand what caused them and work with colleagues to deliver lasting solutions.

Your work connects the application with its underlying database, middleware and operating system. You take ownership of operational issues, use automation to improve everyday processes and help prevent recurring problems.

You will

• Troubleshoot incidents across Oracle Database, WebLogic and Linux, including performance, connectivity and availability issues.
• Carry out application deployments, patching and upgrades, coordinating with colleagues to manage risk and minimise disruption.
• Monitor application health and capacity, identify recurring problems and contribute to preventive improvements.
• Support certificate renewals and application connectivity, working with platform, database and security specialists where needed.
• Automate routine tasks through scripting and keep documentation and runbooks practical and up to date.
• Work closely with development, platform and customer teams, sharing findings and communicating progress clearly.

Depending on your experience, you will also take the lead in complex incidents, guide colleagues and drive improvements to application reliability and our operational processes.

Key about your team

You will join the LeanApps Technical Application Management team within Keylane’s SaaS organisation. Together, we manage the technical application environments used by our Life & Pension customers.

The team combines expertise in Linux, databases, middleware, automation and security. You will work alongside experienced colleagues and collaborate with product development, platform teams and database specialists.

We value openness, collaboration and ownership. Whether you bring established expertise or are ready to take the next step, you will have room to contribute ideas, learn from colleagues and improve how we work.
