Job description

ERP Analyst Programmer (Informix 4GL / Oracle PL/SQL)

We're looking for an ERP Analyst Programmer for a leading European food retail group, working on custom-built Finance and Commercial applications. Hybrid role based in Paço de Arcos (Portugal), 3 days per week on site.

The challenge

The client runs its core Finance and Commercial processes on custom made applications built on Informix and Oracle. They need someone who can sit between the business directions and the code: gather requirements, write the functional and technical specs, build the solution, and then stand behind it in second line support. Not a pure developer role and not a pure functional role. Both.

Responsibilities

• Requirements gathering and user story writing with the business directions
• Functional specifications and documentation of information flows
• Design and documentation of the technical solution
• Development in Informix 4GL or Oracle PL/SQL, plus technical documentation
• Preparation, documentation and execution of unit, integration, functional and acceptance tests
• Walk-throughs and training sessions with Key Users, including user manuals
• Second line support: incident diagnosis, resolution, root cause analysis, escalation to vendors or other teams
• Preventive and corrective maintenance, performance optimization of existing applications
• Data analysis, data correction and mass data processing on application databases

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Management Information Systems or similar
• 6 years of professional experience in similar roles
• Solid functional experience with custom made Finance and Commercial applications in food retail
• Solid experience implementing, maintaining and supporting ERPs (Finance, Commercial, Master Data and/or Supply Chain, Logistics, Production)
• Solid experience in process redesign and continuous improvement in those areas
• Strong SQL and relational database knowledge (Informix or Oracle)
• Informix 4GL or Oracle PL/SQL
• Systems architecture knowledge
• Incident handling, root cause identification and correction plans
• Fluent English and Portuguese
• Availability to work on site in Paço de Arcos 3 days per week

Nice to have

• Agile / Scrum methodologies
• Experience with project management tools
• Strong analytical, communication and interpersonal skills, proactive attitude

Why this project

Long term, full time engagement inside the ERP team of a major European retail group. You get direct exposure to the business directions, ownership of complex technical solutions end to end, and real influence on the redesign of Finance, Commercial and Master Data processes that the operation runs on.

If ERP is where business and engineering actually meet, this is that role.
