• Proficiency in SQL for data investigation, reconciliation, and root cause analysis across relational databases.
  
• Experience with scripting and automation — Python, Bash, or PowerShell — for diagnostics, log analysis, and workflow automation.
  
• Ability to navigate and support integrations between internal systems and third-party platforms (e.g., data feeds, reporting tools, accounting systems).
  
• Excellent judgment and communication skills: able to manage competing priorities and keep business stakeholders informed during active incidents.

• Familiarity with Windows Server and/or Linux environments for application hosting and troubleshooting.
  
• Experience with monitoring and alerting tools (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Grafana, or equivalent).
