- Own system integrations between Zoho and internal/external platforms (APIs, third-party tools, databases).
- Partner with stakeholders across the firm to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
- Troubleshoot and resolve system issues, bugs, and user queries, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.
- Maintain data integrity, system performance, and security best practices across business systems.
- Create and maintain clear technical documentation, including workflows, integrations, and system architecture.
