• Design and implement data migration strategies and complex customer configurations
• Lead technical discovery sessions with customers to understand requirements and provide implementation guidance

• Strong understanding of databases, SQL, API design, and integration patterns
• Experience with software development methodologies and version control systems (Git)
• Advanced knowledge of web technologies, frameworks, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Familiar with ticketing tools, such as Salesforce and JIRA or similar
• Understanding of networking concepts, security principles, and authentication protocols
• Ability to read and understand code bases to determine root causes of issues

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to break down complex technical problems systematically
• Excellence in technical documentation with ability to explain complex concepts clearly
• Customer-focused mindset balanced with engineering discipline and best practices
• Excellent project management skills with the ability to manage multiple high-complexity cases simultaneously
• Demonstrated success in cross-functional collaboration between support, product, and engineering teams
