Desired Skills

• 3-6 years of experience in technical support, application support, technical operations, or a similar role
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting REST APIs using Postman or similar tools
• Experience querying databases, particularly MongoDB or other NoSQL databases, to investigate technical issues
• Strong technical problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate issues, identify root causes, and determine appropriate next steps
• Experience managing support tickets through Zendesk, Jira, or similar ticketing systems
• Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple requests while meeting deadlines and SLAs
• Proactive, service-oriented mindset with the ability to work independently and take ownership of issues through resolution
