  • Translate complex technical concepts into clear, structured documentation
  • Support modernization efforts by bridging legacy PowerBuilder systems with web-based architectures

    • Oracle (PL/SQL)
    • SQL Server
  • Conduct code reviews using tools such as Crucible and JIRA
  • Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and development cycles

Requirements:
