• Automation & Scripting: Expertise in scripting and automation – especially with PowerShell (for Windows environment automation) – and proficiency in Python programming for developing internal tools or integration scripts. The candidate should be able to write, debug, and maintain complex scripts to automate tasks and streamline workflows.
• Intune & Endpoint Management: Hands-on experience managing Microsoft Intune in a production environment, including device enrollment, policy configuration, software distribution, and troubleshooting of MDM issues. Familiarity with related Microsoft 365 Endpoint Manager components and Azure AD is expected. 
• Technical Proficiency: Solid understanding of Windows-based systems and networks. Comfortable working with Microsoft server technologies, Active Directory, and RESTful APIs. Experience with application deployment processes, version control, and basic database querying is also valuable.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities with a talent for troubleshooting complex issues across multiple layers (application, database, network). Able to methodically diagnose problems and implement effective solutions under pressure.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent work experience). Strong foundational knowledge of computing principles and software development lifecycle.
• Communication & Teamwork: Effective communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders when needed. A collaborative team player who can work within a larger IT team, share knowledge, and coordinate tasks in a dynamic environment. Customer-focused attitude to support end-users and deliver a high level of service.

Qualifications

• Travel Industry Knowledge: Prior experience working in the travel industry or in a travel technology environment. Understanding of corporate travel workflows or online booking tools is beneficial. Hands-on familiarity with one or more GDS systems (such as Sabre or Amadeus, with Galileo/Travelport as a plus) is highly advantageous – for example, experience using GDS terminals or supporting travel agency applications. 
• Travel APIs & Integration: Experience integrating or supporting travel platform APIs (e.g. Sabre SOAP/REST APIs, Amadeus web services, etc.) is a strong plus. Comfort with reading API documentation and troubleshooting data exchange issues between systems will help in this role.

• Travel Systems: Experience with GDS platforms (Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo) and corporate booking tools 

• Certifications: Relevant industry certifications or training. For instance, Microsoft certifications (such as for Intune/Endpoint Administration or Azure Administration) or an ITIL Foundation certification for IT service management processes can be a plus. Any formal training on GDS systems or travel booking software would also be beneficial. 
• Additional Technical Skills: Exposure to other automation and management tools like Microsoft SCCM/Endpoint Configuration Manager, Azure DevOps, or scripting in other languages. Experience with data reporting/analysis (using Excel, Power BI, or similar) can be helpful given the data-centric nature of travel systems.
• Adaptability: Demonstrated ability to quickly learn new technologies and industry-specific systems. A proactive mindset to stay updated on emerging tools (both in general IT and travel tech) and to continuously improve skill sets.

Note: The preferred qualifications above are not mandatory but will give the candidate an edge. The team values a willingness to learn and adaptability, so candidates lacking travel industry experience but otherwise strong in core technical skills are encouraged to apply as well.
