Responsibilities: 

• Gather requirements, define approach, and help write pitch documents so developers can hit the ground running and support them during a project.

• You’ll have a track record of working with competing demands and making decisions to get critical work done.
• Experience in the broadband/telco industry with sufficient exposure to the tech. stack (i.e. you will not get fazed by BSS, OSS and all the other three letter acronyms the veterans love!)
• To be willing to roll up your sleeves. For example, this might mean learning some development skills (e.g. SQL) for data analysis, possibly even reading and amending code
• To be curious and a great listener – fantastic ideas come from everywhere in Kraken Technologies, so you’ll need to be able to spot and harness them.
• To be a strategic thinker, always relating your decision making back to the overall goals of the team and the customer experience.
