Tier 2 Production Support Specialist
Advisors Asset Management (AAM) is seeking a Tier 2 Production Support Specialist to help support the day-to-day stability of our business-critical applications, trading workflows, data feeds, and reporting processes. This role is responsible for triaging and resolving production issues, monitoring system health, analyzing data and application behavior, and working closely with development and business teams to maintain operational reliability. The ideal candidate is technically strong, highly curious, and motivated to become a subject matter expert across the systems they support. This includes helping to accelerate AAM’s transition to AI-enabled support operations, leveraging tools such as Copilot and agent-based workflows. This is not a traditional support role. It is a hands-on production support position in a fast-paced financial services environment where data accuracy, responsiveness, and system uptime directly impact business operations.
