Key about your role
An unexpected error, a failed application process or a configuration issue: you look beyond the symptoms to understand what is happening. You investigate logs, follow existing Java code and use SQL to connect application behavior with the underlying data and configuration.
As an Application Operations Engineer at Keylane, you help keep Axon running reliably for our customers. Your focus is application operations, deployments, and technical investigation. You use your understanding of the software to identify causes, resolve operational issues, and determine when a problem needs the expertise of another team.
You oversee deployments, network and security configurations, and whitelisting. Through end-to-end technical validation, you check that the application and its supporting components work as expected following a deployment or configuration change.
When an issue requires a software change, you carry out the initial technical analysis and use your development skills to implement small changes where appropriate. You discuss your findings and proposed solutions with the software engineers in Product Development (PD), collaborate on more complex changes, and help verify that the fix resolves the problem. You also look beyond individual incidents: you recognize recurring issues, share what you have learned, and contribute to clearer procedures and more effective troubleshooting.
You help standardize and automate department processes, including maintaining runbooks, managing containers, and improving configuration management with Ansible or Puppet where applicable.
This combination of application knowledge, operational responsibility, and collaboration gives you the opportunity to deepen your technical expertise across troubleshooting, deployments, and automation.
Responsibilities
- Investigate and resolve technical application issues
- Connect application logic with behavior seen in logs and error messages
- Use SQL to investigate application data
- Oversee deployments, network, and security configurations
- Collaborate with software engineers in Product Development
- Standardize and automate department processes
Requirements
- Experience investigating technical application issues
- Ability to read and interpret existing Java code
- Proficiency in SQL and working in Linux environments
- Clear communication skills and ability to work with others
- Experience with AI-assisted development tools is a plus
Main technologies
- Axon application: Java
- Containers and deployments: Kubernetes, Rancher, Kargo
- Databases: IBM Db2, PostgreSQL
- Monitoring: CheckMK, Elastic
- Configuration management: Ansible, Puppet
