• Prior experience in technical support or a hybrid IT / development role.

• Degree in software engineering, computer science or related field, or equivalent experience.
• Exposure to platforms such as Proclaim, Zoho CRM, Zoho Creator, or similar systems.
• Experience with BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Zoho Analytics).
• Understanding of cloud platforms and third-party API integrations.
• Familiarity with version control tools such as GitHub.

• A collaborative, supportive work environment.
• Opportunities for professional development and skill growth.
• Hands-on experience with modern technologies and innovative systems.
