Job description

Build the systems that keep a global science company running.

Restek makes the chromatography columns, standards, and supplies that labs around the world rely on for accurate results. Behind every order, shipment, and product is our ERP, IFS Cloud. We're looking for an engineer who can make it work harder, connect it to the rest of our technology, and keep it reliable as we grow.

This isn't a configure-only admin role. You'll write code when the platform falls short. You'll also know when a clean configuration is the smarter choice, and you'll help set the standards that keep our platform maintainable for years.

And because Restek is 100% employee-owned, the systems you build directly support a company you share in.

What you'll do

Build and extend IFS Cloud

• Design and develop customizations, workflows, business rules, and reports, using native tools first and custom code (SQL/PL-SQL and IFS tooling) where they aren't enough
• Turn business processes into well-designed platform logic, working directly with stakeholders to gather requirements and write the technical specs

Connect our systems

• Build and maintain integrations between IFS Cloud and our CRM and other business platforms using APIs, middleware, and custom connectors

Lead upgrades and releases

• Plan and run IFS Cloud version upgrades and patch cycles, including testing, coordination, and stakeholder communication
• Manage environments and promote changes through Dev → Test → Prod

Own service delivery and support

• Own the IT service delivery process for IFS Cloud, from intake and triage through prioritization and resolution
• Provide tier 2/3 support, diagnose root causes, and partner with IFS when issues need vendor escalation

Set the standard

• Shape governance, templates, and best practices for both configuration and development
• Evaluate new platform features and recommend the right approach based on complexity, performance, and long-term maintainability
• Write documentation that technical and non-technical colleagues alike can follow

What you'll bring

Qualifications:

The typical requirements for this role include a bachelor's degree and five (5) years of experience specifically in enterprise systems development, combining custom development with low-code/no-code configuration with three (3) of those years being hands-on with IFS Cloud or IFS Applications development, including customizations, workflows, and reports.

Additional Skills and Abilities include:

• Strong SQL/PL-SQL skills and experience with IFS tools such as Lifecycle Experience, Events, and Connect
• Experience building integrations between IFS and other enterprise systems
• A lead role in at least one ERP upgrade or major release cycle
• Experience running or significantly contributing to an IT service delivery process
• Solid grounding in platform administration, data models, roles, and ALM
• Strong troubleshooting instincts across workflows, code, and integrations
• Clear written communication and experience working with cross-functional, globally distributed teams

This position has been approved for a hybrid or fully remote work arrangement

This position will require the successful completion of a standard background check in accordance with Restek policy. Employment with Restek will require successful completion of a pre-employment drug screen.
