• Support integrations involving PLC systems, including Allen-Bradley, and related OPC connectivity where required. 
• Collaborate with business partners, warehouse operations teams, architecture, infrastructure, vendors, and technology teams to deliver reliable, supportable, and business-aligned solutions. 
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues related to warehouse, distribution centre, and enterprise application environments. 
• Work with databases to support querying, reporting, data analysis, application configuration, and operational support activities. 
• Create and maintain technical documentation, solution designs, support procedures, and knowledge artifacts for applications and integrations. 
• Contribute to modernization initiatives by analyzing existing systems, identifying improvement opportunities, and supporting the transition to more scalable and maintainable technology solutions. 

About You

• 5+ years of experience in enterprise application development, preferably using Java, Python, PowerShell, REST APIs, and database technologies. 
• Experience developing, supporting, or integrating enterprise applications used in operational or business-critical environments. 
• Strong understanding of application development practices, SDLC, testing, deployment, production support, and technical documentation. 
• Experience working with relational databases such as MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or similar platforms. 
• Experience supporting application integrations using APIs, scripting, automation, file-based interfaces, or middleware patterns. 
• Ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues across applications, databases, integrations, infrastructure, and vendor-supported platforms. 

Nice to Have / Preferred Skills

• Experience with warehouse management systems, distribution centre systems, supply chain systems, or logistics technology platforms, preferably in the retail space.
