  • No prior IT experience is required, but interest in the field is encouraged. Suitability will be evaluated during the interview process.
  • The role levels are defined as follows: Customer Support (Tier 1) → ATS (Tier 2 or higher) → Engineer.

We are looking for someone with 2-3 years of professional experience.
