You’ll lead development across our internal applications, ERP integrations, warehouse management system (WMS), API integrations, SQL databases, and business automation tools. This role combines software engineering, systems integration, solution architecture, and business process improvement.

• Build and maintain integrations between NetSuite, e-commerce marketplaces, shipping platforms, and internal applications

Ideal Candidate

You are someone who enjoys understanding how a business operates—not just writing code.

You like working with users, solving operational challenges, designing practical solutions, and seeing your software make an immediate impact. You take ownership, think independently, and aren't afraid to jump into production issues when needed.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to become the technical owner of a company's core software platform while working closely with leadership to shape future technology initiatives.
