Our expertise spans the entire customer journey, offering deep insights in communications, commerce, consultancy, CRM, CX, data, production, and technology. We deliver end-to-end solutions that result in revolutionary work.

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

  • Strong Magento knowledge: This is a must-have. The candidate should have a deep understanding of Magento’s architecture, functionalities, and common issues. Experience with both Magento 1 and Magento 2 is highly desirable.
  • Server administration (Linux): Experience managing web servers (Apache/Nginx), databases (MySQL/MariaDB), and caching systems (Redis/Varnish) is crucial for troubleshooting and performance optimisation.
  • Command-line fluency: Comfort using command-line interfaces for server management, log analysis, and troubleshooting is essential.
  • Web technologies: Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and XML is necessary for diagnosing and resolving front-end and back-end issues.
  • Troubleshooting and problem-solving: The ability to systematically identify, analyse, and resolve technical issues is critical.
  • Basic networking knowledge: Understanding of networking concepts like DNS, firewalls, and load balancing is beneficial.
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools: Familiarity with tools like New Relic, Datadog, or similar is beneficial for proactive issue identification and performance monitoring.

SOFT SKILLS:

  • Excellent communication skills: Clear and concise communication is vital for interacting with clients, developers, and other stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills: The ability to think critically and find solutions to complex technical problems is essential.
  • Time management and prioritisation: The ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively is crucial in a fast-paced environment.
  • Teamwork and collaboration: Working effectively with developers, other support staff, and clients is essential.
  • Customer service orientation: A positive and helpful attitude is crucial when interacting with clients experiencing technical difficulties.

IF YOU KNOW SOME OF THIS, EVEN BETTER:

  • Experience with cloud platforms: Familiarity with AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure is a plus, especially for managing Magento instances hosted on these platforms.
  • Knowledge of DevOps practices: Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automation tools, and infrastructure-as-code is highly beneficial.
  • Magento certifications: Holding relevant Magento certifications demonstrates expertise and commitment to the platform.
  • Experience with other eCommerce platforms: Familiarity with platforms like SFCC, Shopify, BigCommerce, or WooCommerce can be valuable.
  • Knowledge of security best practices: Understanding of web application security and experience implementing security measures is a plus.
