Partner with Procurement and cross‑functional stakeholders to define problem statements, translate business requirements into technical requirements, and deliver comprehensive IT solutions aligned with business objectives.

Leverage Azure Dev Ops to define user stories/requirements and drive the design, development, validation and deployment of applications (both SaaS and custom) and integrations, using ETL tools, APIs, and event‑driven patterns to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable solutions.

Apply strong Snowflake data analysis and Power BI data visualization or data science skills to gather requirements, perform data profiling and validation, and use data to solve business problems.

Evaluate business and technical requirements to recommend solution options (build/buy/enhance) and implement secure, maintainable designs, including enhancements to existing systems and cloud migrations where appropriate.

Support end‑to‑end application delivery, including configuration, development, automated testing, CI/CD deployments, defect resolution, and post‑go‑live hyper‑care, ensuring operational readiness.

What You Have:

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience.
• Experience building and supporting cloud solutions (AWS preferred), including cloud databases, integration/middleware technologies, and secure connectivity patterns.
• Strong SQL and data analysis skills; experience with Snowflake and Power BI.
• Demonstrated ability to translate business processes and pain points into functional requirements, data requirements, and implementable technical solutions.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Demonstrated people skills and a collaborative working style.
• A proactive mindset with a willingness to learn and implement innovative technologies.
• Experience overseeing core application systems by managing client‑related issues, system interfaces, and interdependencies.
• Ability to apply structured problem‑solving methods, capture lessons learned, and develop resolutions for high‑impact issues.
• Lead requirements analysis by eliciting, documenting, modeling, and maintaining detailed functional and data requirements, including source‑to‑target mappings for integrations and reports.
• Conduct system testing to ensure transaction flow, system interoperability, and continued alignment with requirements.
• Perform advanced technical troubleshooting and support IT Service Management by promoting standardized IT service procedures.

Top Candidates Will Have:

• Experience with integration middleware tools (e.g., Snaplogic), ETL tools, Snowflake, Power BI, Python, APIs, and strong SQL for data analysis.
• Developed and supported custom Java services and REST APIs, deployed on AWS (e.g., container or serverless patterns), to enable scalable integrations and automate data exchange across enterprise systems.
• Familiarity with fundamental data quality principles, procedures, and best practices.
• Hands‑on familiarity with AWS services commonly used for custom applications and data solutions and CI/CD practices.
• Experience in data analytics and reporting – defining KPIs, building datasets, performing data quality checks, and enabling dashboards (e.g., Power BI) for business users.
