Elmhurst, IL (On-site position)
Overview:
Join our team as a Senior Developer. In this role, you will play a key part in enhancing our IT technology team. We are building an internal ERP system from scratch, using PHP. This would be for internal users, but web-based for easy access.
Responsibilities:
- Develop, implement, and maintain ERP software solutions to optimize internal processes and improve operational efficiency.
- Identify user needs and propose innovative solutions, including creating custom dashboards and adding fields to the ERP software.
- Oversee ERP software upgrades.
- Stay updated on new ERP capabilities and features.
- Generate data analytics reports and respond to data-related requests to support business operations.
- Stay informed about industry trends and best practices to provide strategic input on technology improvements.
- Serve as a key resource for other team members, providing mentorship and guidance as needed.
Key Technical Requirements:
- Strong proficiency in PHP programming—ideally for internal applications like an ERP, not customer-facing website development.
- Ability to design, develop, and maintain backend logic and integrations for internal systems, ensuring smooth operation of internal processes and user interfaces.
- Experience with manufacturing ERP software and PHP in an enterprise environment.
- Web development experience (e.g., front-end website design) is not applicable to this role, as the focus is on internal systems and ERP customization.
Educational/Experience Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
- 5-7 years of experience in a developer role.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to manage complex projects and large data sets.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively with a variety of stakeholders across different departments.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
- Proven experience working in a collaborative team environment and contributing to the success of the team.
