  • Good people skills to help users with tech issues (we do not expect this person to provide general user computer support; we are referring to highly technical problems with our custom software or systems)

You will work with internal users to determine what is a bug versus an enhancement request and whether temporary workarounds are available or appropriate.  

Label Printing Hardware 

We are implementing a wireless Zebra printing system that runs on LinkOS. Over time, you will be expected to have a deep understanding of how this works to be able to troubleshoot and code the printer. Our company vision includes some sophisticated label printing hardware and automation, so this person should enjoy working with hardware and automation. 

API’s 

We use a lot of API connections; you will be responsible for several connections from our partners or vendors to our systems. 

EDI 

Although we prefer to use APIs when possible, some partners still use EDI to transmit data. You will be responsible to troubleshoot and fix any EDI failure points that arise. 

Coding & Technologies 

There is ample opportunity for coding as we have a variety of projects on the docket and a couple hundred Jira tickets waiting to be addressed. The most immediate need is coding within our proprietary Back Office software using Python, but there are lot of coding opportunities within our websites as well.
