Here in GCash we want to stay at the forefront of the FinTech industry by creating innovative, meaningful, and convenient financial solutions for the nation! G ka ba? Join the G Nation today!\nWhat You Will Do\nInvestigation & Bug Management\nIndependently investigate escalated, non-playbook incidents using application logs, distributed traces, database queries, and source code - investigation goes all the way down to the code level when needed\n\nReplicate production issues end-to-end and produce a clear, structured root cause document - covering the trigger, failure mechanism, blast radius, and business impact\n\nCraft a well-reasoned solution recommendation based on the identified root cause and failure pattern - not just a workaround or a follow-up; a proposed fix direction that delivery teams can act on\n\nRaise and document bugs with the precision and completeness that development teams need to move immediately - reproduction steps, log evidence, code-level findings, impact scope, and recommended solution approach\n\nWork actively with delivery teams (Dev, QA, architects) to drive the proposed solution to production; own the closure loop - not just the escalation\n\nIncident Response\nServe as the technical SME for incidents affecting your assigned services\n\nEngage immediately during major incidents - correlate signals across observability platforms, perform log analysis, drive parallel investigation tracks, and execute workarounds within SLA\n\nParticipate in war room calls; contribute structured, evidence-based troubleshooting\n\nAIOps & Observability\nUse AIOps Observability platforms for deep-dive investigation - correlate APM traces, infrastructure metrics, log data, and anomaly signals to isolate root cause faster and with more precision\n\nIdentify gaps in service observability - missing monitors, unmapped services, incomplete trace coverage - and raise actionable recommendations to improve investigation capability across assigned services\n\nUnderstand how alerts flow from observability tools into the incident pipeline; distinguish signal from noise during active incidents\n\nRunbook & Knowledge Management\nOwn runbook and KB article coverage for all assigned services - current, accurate, and executable by L1\n\nProduce post-incident documentation (impact, RCA, mitigation, updated runbook) after every major incident\n\nConduct knowledge transfer sessions to the L1 Technical Service Desk for newly documented playbooks\n\nAutomation & Tools Development\nIdentify and build automation solutions that reduce ticket volume and cut handling time\n\nDevelop tools using Python and scripting; contribute to internal automation platforms\n\nService Transition\nOwn the L2 side of Operational Readiness for new or enhanced products - participate in training, shadowing, and reverse-shadowing with development tribes\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent\n\nAt least 7 years in IT application support, SRE, DevOps, software development, or a related technical operations role\n\nAt least 3 years in a senior L2, L3, or equivalent production support role in a high-traffic, distributed, cloud-native environment\n\nDemonstrated experience working independently - owning services, making technical decisions, and interfacing directly with senior engineers, architects, and business stakeholders without supervisory oversight\n\nHands-on experience with Unix/Linux, relational databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL), Kubernetes, and an ITSM platform\n\nDemonstrated ability to read and navigate application source code to the level required for root cause analysis and solution formulation - prior software development, SRE, or DevOps experience is strongly preferred\n\nWhat We Offer\nOpportunity for career growth and development in the #1 FinTech company in the country Working with a dynamic and highly collaborative team who want to change the game A company that values their people with highly competitive and flexible compensation and benefits package","description_format":"text","description_chars":4087,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Banking","Lending","Insurance","FinTech"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T07:58:59Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":60,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-09-23T14:39:13Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gcash-l2-application-support-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gcash-l2-application-support-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-23T14:39:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
