ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a motivated and technically sharp Full Stack Developer Engineer/Intern to join our engineering team and contribute directly to the design, development, and deployment of our internal ERP system. This is not a typical internship — you will be working on production-grade software used by our operations, procurement, and engineering teams daily.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience building complete web applications, understands both frontend and backend systems, and is comfortable working with databases, APIs, and deployment pipelines. Exposure to ERP systems, workflow automation, or enterprise platforms is a significant plus.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

ERP Development

• Design, build, and maintain full stack features for the company's internal ERP platform covering requirements of Procurement, Inventory management, Human resource management, Finance, etc.
• Collaborate with domain stakeholders (operations, finance, engineering, etc) to translate business requirements into functional software specifications.
• Develop and maintain FastAPI-based backend services that power ERP modules and integrations.
• Build responsive, intuitive frontend interfaces for internal users using modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks.

Database & Data Management

• Design and maintain relational database schemas in PostgreSQL optimized for ERP use cases — transactions, audit logs, role-based access, and reporting.
• Write efficient SQL queries, stored procedures, and manage migrations for evolving schemas.
• Implement data validation, integrity checks, and normalization strategies to ensure data reliability across modules.
• Support integration of data from external systems (procurement platforms, supplier APIs, financial tools) into the central ERP database.

API & Integration Development

• Build and document endpoints consumed by frontend clients, mobile apps, and third-party integrations.
• Implement OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect authentication flows, role-based access control (RBAC), and session management across ERP modules.
• Integrate with external APIs (e.g., vendor portals, logistics providers, payment gateways) and ensure robust error handling and retry logic.
• Design API versioning strategies and maintain backward compatibility as the platform evolves.

Frontend & Dashboard Development

• Develop dynamic, data-rich dashboards providing real-time visibility into KPIs such as inventory levels, procurement status, production throughput, and cost tracking.
• Implement interactive charts, tables, and drill-down views for operational and executive-level reporting within the ERP.
• Ensure cross-browser compatibility, accessibility standards (WCAG), and responsive design across all ERP interfaces.

DevOps & Deployment

• Manage CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, staging, and production deployments of ERP components.
• Write and maintain cron jobs and scheduled tasks for automated reporting, data sync, and background processing.
• Monitor application health, manage environment configurations, and assist in infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Support containerization of ERP services for consistent development and deployment environments.

Code Quality & Collaboration

• Use Git for version control, follow branching strategies (GitFlow or trunk-based), and participate in code reviews.
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to maintain code quality and system reliability.
• Document technical designs, API contracts, and data models clearly for cross-team alignment.
• Participate in sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives as part of an Agile development workflow.
