■ Optimize database structures and queries for performance and scalability.

■ Create and integrate user-friendly front-end interfaces with backend systems.

■ Document solutions through clear code, flowcharts, diagrams, and technical documentation.

■ Conduct software testing, debugging, and quality assurance to ensure reliable updates and deployments.

■ Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business needs and deliver tailored technical solutions.

■ Provide training and support to clients or internal teams on application maintenance and updates.

■ Contribute to the continuous improvement of the Development Team and internal software processes.

Additional Duties and Responsibilities:

■ Enhance customer service and satisfaction through effective communication and timely delivery of solutions.

■ Escalate and resolve development challenges within agreed service levels, keeping stakeholders informed of progress and changes.

■ Maintain in-depth knowledge of our software and its alignment with customer goals, particularly in educational or enterprise contexts.

■ Track time, expenses, and project tasks using the appropriate tools (training provided).

Knowledge, Skills, and/or Abilities Required:

■ Proven expertise in Microsoft SQL Server, T-SQL, and SSRS report design.

■ Full stack development experience with proficiency in .NET or similar frameworks.

■ Strong skills in database design, optimization, and integration with web or desktop platforms.

■ Familiarity with enterprise systems such as SIS, LMS, ERP, CRM, HRMS, Library Management Systems, Admissions and Enrollment Management Systems, Facilities and Campus Management Systems, or Analytics/BI Tools (e.g., Power BI).

■ Experience working with educational institutions or similar complex organizational environments is a plus.

■ Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

■ Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while maintaining attention to detail.

■ Self-motivated, proactive, and adept at problem-solving and technical diagnostics.

Educational/Vocational/Previous Experience Recommendations:

■ BA/BS in computer science, software development, or a related field (MBA/MS preferred but not required).
