• Experience analysing registry changes, file system modifications, and installation behaviours.
• Familiarity with POS or retail device environments would be beneficial.
• Experience packaging applications in a Citrix environment would be highly advantageous.

Key Responsibilities of the Application Packager:

• Package and prepare applications for deployment as part of a Windows OS migration programme across POS devices.
• Review and reduce the complexity of the current rollout documentation used by Field Engineers during deployments.
• Reverse engineer existing applications to understand their behaviour from a script, registry, and configuration perspective.
• Analyse current install processes and rebuild them into simpler, more reliable deployment packages.
