We are recruiting for an Application Support Engineer to join an established fintech business operating in Cardiff.

 

You’ll join the Engineering team, providing 2nd line support, investigating application and data issues, and working closely with Service Delivery and Engineering to resolve incidents.

 

The Role

  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent attention to detail.
  • Clear communication skills.

  

The Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting to the root cause of technical issues rather than simply passing tickets on.

You don’t need to tick every box. Strong technical fundamentals, problem-solving ability, and a willingness to learn are equally important.

 

If this sounds like you feel free to reach out!
