Job description

• Own the technical architecture and long-term roadmap for our NetSuite ERP environment, ensuring solutions scale with the business rather than creating future rework
• Lead solution design sessions with business and technical stakeholders, translating complex operational needs into clear, well-architected NetSuite solutions
• Architect and oversee integrations between NetSuite and third-party systems using SuiteTalk, REST, and SOAP APIs
• Guide and review development work across SuiteScript 1.0/2.x, SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF), RESTlets, Suitelets, Map/Reduce scripts, and scheduled scripts
• Make and document architectural decisions on custom records, fields, forms, roles, permissions, and system security to keep the environment clean, auditable, and maintainable long-term
• Partner with functional leaders across Financials, Order Management, Inventory, and related modules to identify opportunities for ERP optimization and process improvement
• Lead data migration strategy, including CSV imports, validation frameworks, and cutover planning for major initiatives
• Set and enforce development standards, documentation practices, and governance for customizations and integrations across the platform
• Troubleshoot complex, cross-system issues and lead root-cause resolution — not just symptom fixes
• Serve as the go-to technical mentor for NetSuite developers and administrators — this role has no direct reports, but you'll be the person the team leans on for guidance on tough architecture calls
• Evaluate and recommend middleware and third-party tools where they make sense for the broader integration strategy

• Proven experience architecting and delivering integrations between NetSuite and external systems via REST and SOAP APIs
• Strong command of NetSuite ERP modules, particularly Financials, Order Management, and Inventory
• A track record of leading solution design conversations with both technical teams and business stakeholders — you can flex between whiteboard architecture talk and a straightforward conversation with a VP
• Solid foundation in JavaScript and related web technologies
• Experience owning data migration strategy — CSV imports, validation, and cutover planning
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills, with the judgment to know when a fix is a patch versus when it's a signal to redesign
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent initiatives and competing priorities without losing sight of the bigger architectural picture
