Strong proficiency in database modeling: designing relational or semi-structured data models
Strong proficiency in JavaScript: you write clean, maintainable, testable scripts and know asynchronous patterns, modules, etc
Experience building automation using Low-Code/No-Code tools (Make, n8n, Zapier, Power Automate, Retool, Bubble, etc.): you know how to think in workflows, triggers, actions rather than only in code
Familiarity with Airtable or equivalent platform (data modelling, automations, scripting in Airtable is a plus)
Solid understanding of APIs, REST, webhooks, JSON, OAuth and the patterns involved in integrating systems
Ability to take a business/HR process (often manual) and translate it into an automated workflow: you map it, you break it down, you implement it
Analytic mindset, attention to detail: you measure, you optimise, you iterate
Excellent communication and collaboration: you’ll work with non-technical HR people and technical IT folks, so you need to bridge both worlds
Self-starter attitude: you thrive in an environment where you’re given autonomy, expected to think, propose, act and deliver
