A logistics technology firm at Technopark, Kazhakkoottam, in Thiruvananthapuram is hiring a Junior Logistics IT Analyst on a part-time, on-site basis, paying up to 21,500 INR a month. The role sits at the point where warehouse and shipping operations meet the software that runs them, which makes it a reasonable entry point for someone who wants exposure to both sides without committing to a full-time schedule yet. The company builds and maintains tracking software for a handful of regional logistics providers, so the platform this role touches is used by real dispatchers and warehouse staff on a daily basis, not an internal tool with a small, forgiving user base.
Most of the work centers on the systems that track shipments, inventory, and delivery schedules for the company's client base. Things go wrong in small, specific ways: a status update that never syncs from the warehouse scanner, a routing rule that assigns the wrong depot to an order, a report that quietly drops a column after an upstream schema change. Part of this job is catching those problems before a client notices, and part of it is building the small fixes and features that keep them from recurring. None of it requires deep supply chain expertise on day one, but the learning curve is real, and most of it happens by tracing a problem back through the actual data rather than reading documentation.
- Build and adjust software components that support logistics tracking and reporting
- Work with product and QA teams to move fixes and small features from idea to release
- Review code written by teammates to keep quality consistent across the codebase
- Investigate and resolve issues reported by users of the logistics platform
- Run SQL queries against shipment and inventory data to answer operational questions from the team
Requirements
A bachelor's degree is expected, generally in computer science, information technology, or a similarly technical field. Six months of hands-on experience is the bar for this position, which fits someone who's recently finished a degree or internship and has written production code, even briefly, rather than only coursework.
The required skills are practical: working knowledge of SQL, some background in logistics or supply chain systems, and the ability to gather requirements from non-technical stakeholders without losing the details that matter. Process analysis matters more here than in a typical junior developer role, since half the job is understanding why a workflow behaves a certain way before touching any code. A dispatcher explaining a workaround they've used for years often describes a gap in the system that nobody has formally documented, and part of the analyst's job is noticing that and writing it down properly.
A few things aren't required but will help an application: familiarity with a scripting language like Python, exposure to warehouse management or transportation management systems, and any prior coursework or project work involving supply chain operations specifically. Candidates who've only worked with generic CRUD applications sometimes underestimate how different logistics data actually is, since a single shipment record can touch half a dozen systems before it's considered complete, and none of those systems always agree with each other.
Schedule and pay
This is a part-time position with flexible in-office scheduling, structured mainly around exam schedules and other commitments students or early-career candidates tend to have. Pay tops out at 21,500 INR a month, and Naukri Mitra notes that this compares favorably against other part-time logistics IT analyst jobs in Thiruvananthapuram once the flexible hours are factored in.
- Pro-rated paid leave based on hours worked
- Performance-based incentives on top of base pay
- Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to the city
Because the role is part-time, the leave and incentive structure scales with actual hours rather than assuming a standard full-time week, so it's worth asking during the interview how that math works out for the specific schedule you'd be on. Relocation candidates should also confirm whether accommodation support is arranged as a stipend or a direct placement, since the two firms in this cluster that offer it tend to structure it differently.
What day-to-day actually feels like
Expect a fair amount of context-switching. A morning might start with a support ticket about a delayed shipment status, move into a code review for a teammate's fix, and end with a call to a warehouse operations lead trying to understand why a particular process takes three extra steps compared to what the system assumes. Technopark's Kazhakkoottam campus houses a fairly dense cluster of IT and logistics-adjacent companies, so there's a reasonable amount of informal knowledge-sharing across firms in the same building, which junior analysts tend to find useful in their first few months.
The team here is small enough that a junior analyst gets direct exposure to how logistics companies actually operate, not just the software layer sitting on top of them. That combination is somewhat unusual for an entry-level developer role and tends to appeal more to people who plan to move toward operations or systems analysis over time rather than staying purely on the engineering side. Six months in, most people in this seat have a decent working map of how a shipment actually moves through the client's systems, from the moment an order is placed to the point a delivery is marked complete, which is more operational context than a typical junior developer role would offer.
To apply
Send a resume along with a short note on your availability, since scheduling flexibility on both sides is part of what makes this arrangement work. If you've built anything involving logistics data, even a small personal project tracking deliveries or inventory, mention it specifically. Interviews are conducted in two rounds: a technical screen followed by a conversation about scheduling and fit, and candidates typically hear back within a week and a half of applying. Students juggling coursework alongside this role should say so upfront; the team has taken on part-time analysts around academic calendars before and can usually adjust shifts around exam periods without much friction.
