  • Network device support (routers, switches; basic firewall understanding is a plus).
  • IT support for end-user connectivity and network-related issues.
• Basic understanding of software development concepts (e.g., APIs, client-server applications, version control awareness).
• Practical database knowledge, including:
  • Basic SQL querying (SELECT, JOIN, filtering)
  • Understanding of database connectivity (ODBC/JDBC, connection strings, access permissions).
• Familiarity with network monitoring and ticketing systems (e.g., SolarWinds, PRTG, ServiceNow, Jira, or similar).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured approach to troubleshooting.
• Effective communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders.
• Willingness and ability to travel regularly to various locations across New Jersey.
• Eligibility to work in the United States.
