About The Position

The Desktop/Prop Tech Production Support Specialist is a senior, hands-on investigator on the Production Support team. The role owns escalated Tier 3 issues involving desktop applications and proprietary technology, driving them to root cause across systems rather than focusing on a single microservice. It involves understanding how the technology stack fits together, reading logs, tracing distributed systems, and querying production databases in read-only mode to reproduce and diagnose issues. The engineer provides a documented root cause and a clear solution path to engineering, while supporting users and maintaining production support practices.

Requirements

• At least 3 years supporting or engineering production systems, with direct exposure to Fintech applications used for Portfolio Management, Trading, or Client Management.
• Broad, cross-system knowledge of a prototypical financial advisor’s technology stack, including application, service, and data layers.
• Working proficiency in SQL for read-only production database investigation.
• Experience reading application and infrastructure logs and tracing issues through distributed systems.
• Strong root-cause methodology, including distinguishing symptoms from causes and validating hypotheses before escalation.
• Clear written communication for ticket documentation, playbooks, and stakeholder updates.
• Ability to operate under SLA pressure and prioritize a live Tier 3 backlog.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with the Dynasty Technology stack and/or Dynasty Desktop and Data.
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps (ADO) for logging bug work items.
• Prior experience with AI-assisted triage or support tooling.
• Exposure to service desk platforms such as Zendesk.

Responsibilities

• Own Tier 3 tickets escalated from Tier 1/2 support involving desktop applications and proprietary technology.
• Perform root-cause analysis across distributed systems by reading logs and tracing requests to isolate issues.
• Query production databases in read-only mode to validate hypotheses and reproduce reported issues.
• Monitor production alerts for the Desktop/Prop Tech pillar and respond proactively.
• Determine workarounds for affected users while permanent fixes are developed.
• Develop clear requirements for post-diagnosis solutioning and hand off documented root causes to the Bug Fix/Maintenance Engineer.
• Log and help prioritize the pillar’s Tier 3 backlog with the Production Support Manager/Lead, Product, and Development teams.
• Contribute to and maintain playbooks/workbooks for common and recurring desktop/prop tech issues.
• Partner with QA/Release Validation on regression coverage for diagnosed issues.
