• Establish and improve architectural design of applications
• Carry out the functional walk-through of the product with the Development team and Product Management
• Contribute to product quality by giving inputs for the test strategy and write feasibility studies/analysis documents
• Troubleshoot and investigate defects raised by our customers to ensure compliance of our products to the specifications and system integrity.
• Collaborate with Product Management, Business Analysts, and Quality Assurance to create high quality products and enhancements
• Contribute to innovation and product evolution by sharing with peers information such as industry trends & standards

• An understanding of Kanban, SCRUM methodologies and what it takes to design, build, and operate a large scale, complex system that must operate flawlessly 24x7, 365 days per year
• You'll demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills, analytical and conceptual thinking and customer focus
• Travel IT industry experience is a plus
