• Configure, test, deploy, and support application enhancements and upgrades across the solution lifecycle.
• Support and troubleshoot ERP integrations, APIs, and data flows across CRM, HRIS, financial, and third-party platforms.
• Use advanced SQL and root-cause analysis to resolve complex application, integration, and data issues.
• Collaborate with IT teams and vendors to deliver secure solutions, manage releases, and maintain essential documentation.

• Proven ability to troubleshoot production issues, identify root causes, and support application changes.
• Exposure to ERP financial modules or processes, particularly billing, order-to-cash, accounts receivable, or revenue management, is an advantage.
• Experience with iPaaS or comparable integration tools (e.g., Boomi, MuleSoft, Azure Logic Apps, Power Automate) is beneficial; no specific platform is required.
