About you

You're a builder who enjoys owning end-to-end delivery. You're confident designing and configuring on the platform, comfortable joining up with integration and infrastructure colleagues, and you take pride in clean, well-documented work. A degree in a relevant discipline is welcome but practical experience matters more.
