Overview
These are Run‐the‐Business (RTH) roles focused primarily on backend application support, infrastructure monitoring, and batch processing.
The front‐end application teams are based in New York; this Houston team owns end‐to‐end backend support, working closely with global infrastructure partners across APAC, India, and the Americas.
A financial services background is a plus, but the manager is open to candidates from other industries as long as they have strong application support experience.
Key Responsibilities

- Act as a first point of contact for application and infrastructure issues
- Support start‐of‐day batch processing, monitor batch jobs, and troubleshoot failures
- Handle user queries, production issues, and infrastructure alerts throughout the day
- Monitor production environments and respond to alerts using standard monitoring tools
- Perform root cause analysis, escalate issues when needed, and drive resolution to closure
- Collaborate with:
- Front‐end application teams (NY)
- Global infrastructure teams (APAC, India, Americas)
- Ensure application stability during market hours and critical processing windows
Required Skills (Must‐Have)
- Application Support experience in a production environment
- Strong UNIX/Linux skills (log analysis, process checks, basic troubleshooting)
- Strong SQL skills (querying, investigation, data validation)
- Python (used for scripting, automation, or support tooling)
