Application Support Engineer

Job Description

Every secure door, every access-controlled system, every protected environment relies on software that works - and when it doesn’t, our customers call us. ID-ware builds the software that controls who gets access to buildings, systems and sensitive environments for organizations across Europe. Our PIAM platform sits at the heart of our customers’ operations, which means when something isn’t working, they need answers fast. As an Application Support Engineer, you are the person who provides them. You will own L2 support for a diverse international client base: triaging and resolving software issues, keeping SQL databases running cleanly, and working directly with the development team when a problem runs deeper. The role is shift-based (mornings, evenings, nights, and occasional weekends) and suits someone who stays sharp under pressure, takes ownership of their ticket queue, and communicates just as confidently with a non-technical end user as with a developer. If you want a support role with real technical depth and direct customer impact, this is it.

What you will do

• Provide L2 technical support to clients via phone, email, and chat-diagnosing and resolving software issues including bugs, performance problems, and configuration errors.
• Manage and prioritize support tickets in Zendesk/Jira. Follow up with clients by call and email to ensure timely resolution within agreed SLAs.
• Manage, maintain and troubleshoot SQL Server databases, ensuring data integrity, performance and security.
• Administer and support web servers (IIS preferred); investigate application server issues and escalate confirmed bugs to the development team with clear reproduction steps.
• Create and maintain support documentation, FAQs and user guides in Confluence; conduct client training sessions on ID-ware products.
• Work on a roster-based schedule covering morning, evening and night shifts, including on-call weekend support.
  
  

What success looks like

• Customer SLAs are consistently met, and client satisfaction stays high.
• Tickets are well-documented, followed through, and recurring issues are identified and flagged proactively.
• Day-to-day operations run smoothly across all shifts, with clear handover and no unresolved priority issues left open.
