- Hands-on experience supporting production environments, including incident investigation, root-cause analysis, defect management, application enhancements, testing, releases, upgrades, and/or migrations.
- Experience with ERP-to-EAM integrations and a strong functional understanding of enterprise integration patterns, middleware, interfaces, and end-to-end data flows.
- Working knowledge of enterprise application architecture, security principles, configuration management, master data, and functional troubleshooting.
- Experience conducting or supporting SIT, regression testing, UAT, defect triage, and production release validation for enterprise applications.
- Experience working within Agile, Scrum, DevOps, or product-oriented delivery models, with Azure DevOps experience considered an asset.
