Systems Analyst

YOU'RE PART developer

AND PART detective.

The Opportunity

As far back as you can remember, you've always had a passion for technology. Even at a young age, you'd be the one helping your parents figure out the new phone (and new TV remote, etc…you get the picture). And the moment you first sat down at a computer; you knew it was true love. You're passionate about supporting applications but also analyzing what's working and what isn't, because to you, there's magic in making things run smoothly.
