* Analyze system and application logs to identify root cause
* Troubleshoot POS software and hardware integration issues
* Partner with store teams and internal support teams to resolve escalations

* Document findings, recurring issues, and resolution steps
* Participate in on-call rotation (approximately 1 week every 4 weeks)
REQUIREMENTS:
* 3-7 years of experience supporting retail POS systems or similar application environments
* Strong hands-on troubleshooting experience in POS or retail systems
* Ability to independently triage and resolve issues without relying on extensive documentation
* Experience analyzing logs and performing root cause analysis
* Experience supporting on-premise (non-cloud) environments
* Familiarity with POS hardware including terminals, scanners, and peripherals
* Working knowledge of Java-based applications
* Comfortable operating in a fast-paced rollout environment
* Ability to manager priorities in high urgency environments
* Strong collaboration skills while also being able to work independently
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience with Toshiba POS systems or similar retail platforms
* Experience supporting multi-store retail rollouts
* Background supporting specialty retail environments (e.g., jewelry or similar verticals)
* Prior experience working closely with operations and field support teams
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
