Understanding of APIs (REST and/or SOAP) and common data formats (JSON, XML).\n\nStrong troubleshooting instincts and comfort digging into system logs, error messages, and data discrepancies.\n\nClear written communication for technical documentation, aimed at both technical and non-technical audiences.\n\nPreferred:\nSome hands-on exposure to integration/middleware tools (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi, Workato, or similar).\n\nEntry-level technical experience with a modern enterprise system such as Workday, Oracle Cloud, SalesForce, or similar\n\nAdditional Information\nWhat can we offer you?
