Application Support Engineer Job at AlphaSights (New York)

Job Description

We’re looking for a proactive, technically curious Application Support Engineer to help keep AlphaSights’ technology running smoothly for our users. Your core objective is to ensure internal employees have a reliable, efficient experience across our internal and external-facing platforms — resolving issues quickly, spotting recurring problems, and helping reduce repeat incidents over time. You’ll do this through a blend of hands-on troubleshooting, owning tickets from intake through resolution, and close collaboration with Software Engineers and Product Managers. You’ll investigate issues to root cause, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and feed insights back into product and engineering teams to improve platform quality. You’ll also build documentation and share knowledge that helps the wider Application Support team resolve issues faster and more consistently. This role sits within our Technology Team and works closely day-to-day with Engineering and Product. From day one, you’ll own meaningful areas of responsibility and be trusted to manage your time, priorities, and follow-through in a fast-paced environment. You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy solving ambiguous problems, take pride in clear communication, and have a bias for action — balancing user empathy with technical rigor to deliver practical outcomes.

Job Responsibility

Ticket management: Provide active user support to internal employees raising issues related to our internal and external facing technology platforms
Issue resolution: Investigate root causes of issues raised by users to immediately troubleshoot the issue yourself or liaise with your Engineering & Product counterparts to fix difficult bugs
Documentation: Develop & maintain information about features related to your product area of focus to support the wider Application Support team’s ability to solve user issues
Knowledge sharing: Upskill the wider Application Support team about feature launches and known issues related to your product area of focus to improve their ability to resolve issues
