• Develop and maintain front-end user interfaces using modern frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue.js); collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into functional, user-friendly screens.
• Perform store-level incident investigation and production troubleshooting, including pulling POS transaction logs, reconstructing transaction sequences, comparing store configurations, and isolating root causes.
• Execute SQL-based data extractions against IBM i DB2 (ACEDATA tables) and Microsoft SQL Server to support production troubleshooting, reporting, audits, and ad hoc analytical requests.
• Analyze and validate store-level deployment configurations; detect missed deployments, configuration discrepancies, and DLL mismatches using WinMerge and configuration file comparison techniques.
• Retrieve and deliver store artifacts including check images, receipts, and transaction records from POS store drives (via UNC path) and IBM i IFS, supporting compliance, audit, and evidence collection requests.
• Manage and maintain scheduled tasks and applications on the jump server; coordinate application deployments and service account transitions with DevOps.
• Participate in code reviews, maintain version control discipline using Git and/or TFS, and contribute to CI/CD pipeline development and deployment processes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional IT teams (DevOps, Loans, Cards, Bill Pay, Sales Audit, Banking) for issue escalation, feature delivery, and knowledge sharing.
• Maintain and synchronize project files, SQL reference queries, troubleshooting guides, and technical documentation to shared drives for team access.
• Strong analytical skills for diagnosing complex issues across POS, IBM i, and web application layers; comfortable working through ambiguous problems to resolution.
• Effectively document technical processes, communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders, and share knowledge across teams.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks independently and adapt quickly to shifting priorities.
