• Professional communication with customers and internal teams
• Ability to work collaboratively with guidance
• Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Demonstrated teamwork and leadership abilities

Qualifications

• Recent graduate of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
