ERP Project Management

• Work with the Technical Lead and leadership team to define ERP requirements, scope, and milestones.
• Translate business needs into technical solutions and system features.
• Act as the primary ERP project lead, coordinating developers and ensuring timely delivery, oversee testing, deployment, and integration with other systems.

Collaboration & Agile Delivery

• Contribute actively in Agile/Scrum ceremonies with the Technical Lead as Scrum Master.
• Coordinate with stakeholders across business, product, and technology.
• Proactively flag risks, dependencies, and opportunities for improvement.

Key Requirements

• Expert-level JavaScript skills with deep experience across multiple libraries and frameworks.
• Strong hands-on expertise in Node.js (backend) and React (frontend).
• Solid database knowledge (SQL and NoSQL), including schema design, optimization, and performance tuning.
• Proven track record of leading ERP projects or large-scale enterprise system builds.
• Ability to act as both technical lead and ERP project manager.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.
• Strong grasp of software architecture, system integrations, and API-first design.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with ERP-specific modules (finance, HR, CRM, inventory, etc.).
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and DevOps practices.
• Background in agile coaching or mentoring development teams.
• Experience with TypeScript.
• Opportunity to own the ERP system from the ground up and shape its technical future.
• Direct collaboration with the Technical Lead and leadership team.
• A role that balances hands-on coding with strategic leadership.
• Fast-paced, innovative environment with real ownership and impact.
