• Troubleshoot production issues and resolve both functional and technical problems within defined SLAs.

• Maintain high-quality documentation: technical designs, test plans, runbooks, and configuration records.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 1-3 years of experience in WMS implementations or supply chain execution systems.

• Advanced proficiency in SQL, including designing and optimizing stored procedures, complex queries, indexing, and performance tuning on relational databases (e.g., Oracle, MySQL).
• Experience with API testing tools and system integrations (ERP/OMS/TMS/MHE).
• Demonstrable troubleshooting and debugging skills across application, integration, and data layers.
• Excellent interpersonal, documentation, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.

Preferred / Nice to Have:
