Job description

Role Overview

Saudi Gold Refinery (SGR) is seeking a Odoo Developer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to design, customize, and maintain the enterprise resource planning platform that supports refining operations, corporate functions, and regulatory compliance. The role translates plant and corporate process requirements into stable Odoo modules, ensuring accurate tracking of bullion inventory, assay data, and procurement workflows. The developer establishes secure integrations between Odoo and external regulatory systems, while maintaining database integrity and system uptime across continuous shift operations.

The Odoo Developer will report directly to the IT Manager and will play a key role in scaling SGR's downstream mining activities through reliable, audit-ready software architecture. This position directly enables accurate production reporting, streamlined payroll processing, and seamless compliance with Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Custom Module Development: Writes and deploys Python and XML extensions that adapt standard Odoo functionality to track dore bar receipts, refining yields, and bullion inventory across vault and assay operations.
• API Integration Architecture: Builds and maintains REST and SOAP connectors that synchronize Odoo with assay laboratory information systems, industrial weighing hardware, and ZATCA e-invoicing platforms.
• Database Performance Optimization: Monitors PostgreSQL query execution plans, implements indexing strategies, and refactors inefficient database calls to ensure sub-second report generation for shift supervisors.
• Security and Access Control Configuration: Configures role-based permissions, multi-factor authentication, and encrypted data transmission protocols to satisfy LBMA chain-of-custody standards and internal audit requirements.
• Production Incident Resolution: Analyzes server logs, application stack traces, and database transaction records to diagnose system failures and deploy permanent code fixes within defined service level agreements.
• Regulatory Compliance Integration: Configures automated data pipelines that transmit payroll, attendance, and contractor records to Qiwa, Mudad, and GOSI portals while maintaining MHRSD reporting accuracy.
• Technical Documentation and Version Control: Maintains a centralized Git repository with standardized commit messages, branch naming conventions, and peer review requirements for all customizations and configuration changes.
• User Training and Knowledge Transfer: Delivers structured training sessions to designated super-users who provide first-line support and conduct routine system audits across corporate and plant departments.
• System Deployment and Change Management: Executes controlled code deployments using containerized environments, validates system behavior in staging, and coordinates production releases with operational shift schedules.

Qualifications

• The candidate holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Information Technology, or Software Engineering from an accredited institution.
• A minimum of five years of professional experience developing and deploying Odoo ERP modules in production environments.
• Direct experience integrating ERP platforms with government portals, financial systems, and industrial IoT devices.
• Applies structured debugging methodologies and writes comprehensive technical documentation for all deployed code.
• Operates independently on complex development tasks and coordinates effectively with cross-functional operational teams.
• Maintains a clean development workflow that includes automated testing, peer code review, and secure deployment practices.

Preferred / Nice-to-have

• Experience implementing ERP systems for mining, refining, or heavy industrial manufacturing operations.
• Successfully integrated ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing APIs within an Odoo accounting module.
• Familiarity with Linux server administration, Docker containerization, and CI/CD pipeline configuration.
• Working proficiency in Arabic and English for technical documentation and stakeholder communication.
• Experience designing audit-ready data architectures that support external financial and regulatory examinations.

Success Metrics

• Maintain a system uptime rate of 99.5% across all corporate and plant operational modules.
• Reduce average ticket resolution time to 48 hours or less for tier-two and tier-three production incidents.
• Achieve a 100% successful submission rate for ZATCA e-invoices and GOSI payroll data through automated integrations.
• Deploy custom modules on schedule for 90% of planned quarterly development cycles.
• Ensure zero critical security vulnerabilities remain unpatched for more than seven days following vendor release.
• Train fifteen internal super-users who independently resolve tier-one support tickets and conduct routine system audits.
• Maintain a code review pass rate of 85% or higher across all pull requests submitted to the main repository.
