We're building scalable internal systems and a customer-facing e-commerce portal on ERPNext / Frappe, and we're now looking for a dedicated in-house developer to take this to the next level. If you enjoy solving real business problems with clean code and fast execution, you'll like working here. Role Overview You'll be responsible for building, customizing, and maintaining our ERPNext/Frappe-based systems, including: - Core ERP customizations - Custom DocTypes, workflows, and API integrations - Frontend enhancements for our e-commerce portal - Automation scripts for operations, pricing, catalog, etc. This is not a ticket closer role. You'll sit close to operations and management, understand the business need, and build solutions that directly impact revenue, speed, and customer experience. Key Responsibilities 1. ERPNext / Frappe Development - Develop and customize Frappe apps and ERPNext modules (Buying, Selling, Stock, Accounts, Website, etc.). - Create and modify DocTypes, server scripts, client scripts, Print Formats, Custom Fields, Reports, Dashboards. - Build and maintain custom workflows and approval routes. 2. Automation & Integrations - Write background jobs, schedulers, and hooks for tasks like price updates, stock syncs, catalog enrichment, email/PDF parsing, etc. - Integrate ERPNext with external systems (supplier portals, customer systems like SAP/Oracle, payment systems, logistics APIs). - Build REST APIs / whitelisted methods for internal tools and customer portals. 3. Data & Catalog Engineering - Work with large product catalogs (tens/hundreds of thousands of SKUs). - Write scripts to clean, transform, and bulk upload Items, Item Prices, Item Groups, Attributes, Specifications, Images. - Optimize search, filtering, and product discovery. 4. Frontend / Portal Work - Contribute to the customer-facing portal (Frappe website/e-commerce layer). - Build pages, listing views, account dashboards, calculators, search experiences. - Ensure responsive, production-grade UI using HTML/CSS/JS/Jinja inside Frappe templates. 5. Performance, Stability & Debugging - Diagnose and fix issues in production: background jobs stuck, workers timing out, index not syncing, etc. - Work with caching, queuing, and database optimization where needed. - Follow good Git discipline and maintain clean, reviewable code. Must-Have Skills - Strong Python (functions, modules, classes, error handling, async/background jobs). - Hands-on experience with the Frappe Framework. - Practical experience customizing ERPNext in a real deployment (not just hello-world). - Understanding of Doctype architecture, permissions, roles, child tables, and workflow. - Comfortable with MariaDB/MySQL queries and basic optimization. - Experience writing client scripts (frappe.ui.form.on), server scripts, and REST APIs in Frappe. - Git / version control usage. Good-to-Have / Bonus Skills These are not must, but if you have them, tell us loudly: - Experience with large catalogs / bulk data import / data cleaning using Python or Pandas. - Elasticsearch / search tuning / custom indexing. - Frontend familiarity (Bootstrap / Tailwind / basic JS DOM work inside Frappe templates). - PDF generation, custom print formats (Jinja/HTML/CSS). - Experience with background workers, Redis queue, schedulers. - Experience integrating ERPNext with external ERP / procurement systems (SAP, Ariba, Oracle, etc.). - Knowledge of deployment and bench commands (setup, migrate, backup, restore). - Working on performance issues in production environments. Who Will Fit This Role - You've actually built something end-to-end in ERPNext or Frappe (internal tool, portal, customization, module) and can walk us through it. - You like ownership. You don't wait for ticket + Figma + acceptance criteria. You can speak to users, understand the business requirement, and build. - You are comfortable in fast-moving, no-nonsense environments where impact matters more than paperwork. Education / Experience - 14 years of experience in software development (Python). - 1+ year hands-on with Frappe / ERPNext (custom apps, not just configuration). - Degree is nice (B.Tech / B.E. / MCA / etc.) but skill and delivery are more important than certificates. If you're very good and self-taught, we're listening. What You'll Get - Direct exposure to real business problems: inventory control, procurement automation, high-volume catalog management, B2B ecommerce. - Ability to ship fast and see your code go live in production quickly. - Stable core business + aggressive tech roadmap (AI-assisted search, marketplace-style ordering, customer-specific pricing, etc.). - Competitive salary (based on skill, not just years). - Working directly with leadership instead of getting lost in layers. Location - Jaipur, Rajasthan - (On-site preferred so you can work closely with operations, warehouse, procurement, and management. Hybrid can be discussed for the right person.)
