• Stay current with emerging technologies and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.

• Advanced proficiency in coding/scripting languages (e.g., Python, SQL, JavaScript, or similar) for process automation, data integration, and workflow optimization.

• Demonstrated experience designing, building, and deploying models or applications on enterprise platforms (such as Anaplan, Power BI, Tableau, or similar); hands-on Anaplan model building experience is highly valued.

• Strong understanding of systems architecture, data structures, and integration techniques for scalable, automated solutions.

• Analytical and creative problem-solving skills applied to complex technical and data challenges.

• Ability to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions, collaborating seamlessly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience leading or supporting digital transformation and automation projects in a dynamic environment.

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with a continuous learning mindset and a passion for innovation.
