  • Technical fluency with APIs, data models, SQL, and integration debugging, with the ability to read and write code.

  • Hands-on experience building or troubleshooting integrations across EDI, ERP, inventory, accounting, and freight systems.

  • Ability to map purchase-order-to-cash workflows and turn complex operational needs into clear technical solutions.
