Application Support Engineer (Software Engineering Background)
Location: Remote (must be UK based)
Rate: Circa £450 per day (Inside IR35)
On-call Rota: (1 week in 4) + £600/month allowance
We’re supporting a growing technology consultancy delivering critical services into a major public sector customer, and we’re looking for an experienced Application Support Engineer to join a high-performing support and engineering function.
This is not a traditional service desk role. We’re looking for someone with a strong software engineering background who can operate across L2/L3 incidents, troubleshoot complex production issues, support live applications and mentor more junior engineers within the team.
The environment is varied and fast-moving, so we need someone who is comfortable working across multiple technologies and able to quickly understand different systems, services and codebases.
