• Basic understanding of cloud computing, web services, and integration concepts, including APIs, authentication, and data transformation.
• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to follow established processes and documentation.
• Willingness to learn complex systems quickly and work through ambiguity with appropriate support.
• Good communication skills, with the ability to ask clear questions, raise issues early, and explain your work to others on the team.
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment, follow agile sprint-based delivery processes, and meet deadlines.
• A proactive attitude and a desire to continuously improve your own knowledge, as well as the tools and processes around you.
