Description

Company Description QAD is building a world-class SaaS company, and we are growing. We are looking for talented individuals who want to join us on our mission to help solve relevant real-world problems in manufacturing and the supply chain. Job Description We are seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled IT Application Operations Analyst to support and maintain core enterprise applications. In this role, you will perform application administration, troubleshoot issues, support end users, and ensure the stability and availability of key operational systems. This role goes beyond routine administration and requires a strong troubleshooting and triage mindset—someone who can independently investigate issues, understand complex system interactions, and determine where problems originate across multiple layers. The ideal candidate is a go-getter and problem solver who asks inquisitive questions, compares data sets, reads logs, validates assumptions, and knows how to escalate issues with context when needed. Success in this role depends as much on how you think and approach problems as on your technical foundation.
