Job Description:
A leading commodities trading firm is searching for a Senior Application Support Analyst to join their Data team. You will be supporting all applications developed by the data team, most of which are brand new platforms such as market data, data streaming, live order algo trading, data dashboards, and data pipeline platforms. This team was formed just under 2 years ago; prior to this, support was handled by the developers. As this is a fairly new team, there is plenty of room to make proactive changes around automation, monitoring, and process improvement. The hiring manager is searching for a candidate who can offer fresh ideas and has an automation mindset. A key requirement for this role is solid scripting experience; however, they are open in terms of language. That being said, there is a lot of Python scripting work pipelined, so if this is not a language you have worked with before, it will be a great opportunity to upskill. This role will see you working closely with traders and other key platform users.
Our previous placements with this client have spoken very positively about the company culture, highlighting the collaborative and friendly environment and the internal career progression available. For example, after spending 2 to 3 years in one application support team, we have seen hires progress internally to become a DevOps Engineer, Trader, BA, Data Automation Lead, Derivatives Analyst, Developer, and more, demonstrating the variety of routes on offer. The combination of these factors has led to my client having some of the best retention rates on the market.
Requirements:
* Strong production support experience (ideally 7 years plus)
* Scripting experience - any language (preferably Python or PowerShell)
* Monitoring tooling (Geneos/Nagios/Solarwinds)
* Basic SQL selects and nested queries
* Proactive candidate with initiative - value added needs to be clear in CV
* Strong preference for financial services experience
* Bonus - Kafka and Azure
