  • Strong consulting and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience working in agile environments and adapting to evolving business requirements.

Desirable

  • Experience with integration architecture, including iPaaS, API Gateways, ETL, ESB, and related technologies (REST, JSON).
