Key responsibilities:

• Design and develop internal programs/utilities/scripts (PowerShell, .NET, Python) to automate and manage replication activities.
• Prepare and optimize complex SQL queries for replication troubleshooting, data validation, and root-cause analysis.
• Configure, setup, and maintain ShipPalm replication for new and existing client environments.
• Perform replication health checks, conflict resolution, node registration, and channel configuration across environments.
• Monitor production replication instances proactively; identify, troubleshoot, and resolve replication issues/support requests within SLA.
• Design, develop, and maintain internal portals/tools using ReactJS, NodeJS, .NET Core, and Python.
• Build and maintain REST APIs to support internal tools, dashboards, and replication management interfaces.
