Skills and Experience:

• 3–5+ years' experience supporting or administering operational software systems within ITS, traffic management, tolling, smart mobility or transportation technology.
• Strong Windows and Linux/Unix knowledge, with experience deploying, configuring and troubleshooting server-based applications.
• Scripting experience using PowerShell, Shell/Bash, Windows Batch or similar, alongside exposure to automation technologies.
• Experience with cloud environments, infrastructure platforms and complex system/application integrations.
• SQL/database knowledge is desirable, with Ansible, Git, microservices, CI/CD and automated testing experience advantageous.
• Strong troubleshooting and customer-facing skills, with the ability to support business-critical systems in live operational environments.
• Fluent English and willingness to travel when required.
