Summary: These positions will manage the deployment/installation, testing, customization and support of packaged software applications (NOT home grown software)
  • Application Deployment/Installation: As such, Application Engineers deploy on-prem applications to Windows Server and IIS

  • Application Enhancements/Customizations -- playing the BA role: In addition to this, you will also be the main point of contact with these vendors to work through software customizations/enhancements, etc. -- so you will be the liaison between the business users requesting these changes in the software and the vendors who will primarily be the ones doing the engineering to make the development customizations -- and then this person will deploy the changes (back to bullet #2)
  • Application Integration: You will be leading the efforts to integrate this software with other software packages as requested by the business, which could mean working with vendors or other internal teams to accomplish this.

  • Evaluate, test and integrate new software and upgrades to existing software. This will also entail configuring the server and storage environment associated with the software as well as identifying web server requirements.
  • Perform all web server installations and configurations for third party business applications.
  • Define packaging requirements and prepare applications for installation into the production environment using standard tools and methodologies.
  • Resolve end user issues as escalated by the Service Desk, including working with software and hardware vendors' technical support to resolve complex problems.
