• User support — assist internal and external users with technical queries.
• System improvements — plan and implement upgrades to ensure scalability and efficiency.

What we’re looking for

Essential skills:

• Apache server configuration and maintenance
• CRON, email, and FTP management
• CMS (WordPress) – both frontend and backend
• SQL Server (MySQL/MariaDB) — admin, data analysis, and database design
• Basic Python

Nice-to-have skills:

• C programming
• Other high-level languages (Python, Java, C++)

You’ll also be:
