Frappe Framework Developer

About the Project

Cookie Jar Tech is partnering with a key client, to build a state-of-the-art operational backbone to power their clothing distribution business. The client is transitioning to a fully data-driven management framework by creating a "digital twin" of their core operations within a custom ERP system. They believe that clear processes, robust systems, and clean data are the keys to scaling efficiently and making smarter strategic decisions.

The Role

At Cookie Jar Tech, we are seeking an experienced Frappe Framework Developer to be the primary implementer of this custom ERP solution for our client. Our process architect designs and documents the core business workflows (Supply Chain, Logistics, Inventory Intake, etc.) in detail. Your role is to take these detailed blueprints - including process flows, DocType specifications, BPMN diagrams, and business logic - and bring them to life within a custom app built on the Frappe Framework.

You will be the engineering counterpart to our business analyst, responsible for building, testing, and deploying the custom application that runs our client's company. This is a hands-on role that requires deep technical expertise in Frappe, a strong understanding of ERP principles, and the ability to work within a modern, containerized, CI/CD-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and Customize Frappe DocTypes: Implement custom DocTypes, including their fields, relationships (one-to-many, many-to-many) and naming conventions as specified in the documentation.
• Implement Complex Business Logic: Write server-side Python scripts and client-side JavaScript to enforce status lifecycles, create automated behaviors, handle data validation, and orchestrate workflows between different documents.
• Translate Process Diagrams into Code: Interpret BPMN diagrams and sequence diagrams to accurately model business processes within the ERP system.
• Manage and Troubleshoot the Technical Stack: Work within our containerized environment (Docker Compose) to manage, debug, and maintain the application. This includes troubleshooting issues like the configuration challenges detailed in our internal runbooks.
• Contribute to DevOps and CI/CD: Engage with our CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions) for automated testing and deployment across development, staging, and production environments.
• Ensure Data Integrity and System Performance: Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code, and assist in processes like migrating or cloning data between environments.

Required Skills and Experience (Must-Haves):

• Proven Frappe Framework Experience: You must have verifiable, hands-on experience developing custom applications on the Frappe Framework. This is not an entry-level position or a role for someone looking to learn Frappe on the job.
• Strong Proficiency in Python & JavaScript: Deep knowledge of Python for server-side scripting (hooks, controllers) and JavaScript for client-side customizations (custom scripts, UI modifications).
• Deep Understanding of ERP Concepts: Experience implementing core business processes (e.g., procurement, inventory, logistics) in an ERP system.
• Docker Compose: Solid experience with Docker Compose, and managing containerized applications in a production environment. You should be comfortable with docker exec, volume management, and reading files.
• Git and CI/CD: A strong command of Git-based workflows and CI/CD principles. Experience with GitHub Actions is a significant plus.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves):

• Business Process Modeling: Direct experience reading and interpreting BPMN diagrams.
• DevOps Mindset: Experience with system administration tasks, including Nginx configuration, SSL certificate management, and system monitoring.
• Cloud Services: Knowledge of cloud infrastructure, specifically AWS S3 for automated backups.
• Database Management: Familiarity with MariaDB/MySQL, including backup, restoration, and troubleshooting.
• Excellent Communication: Ability to collaborate effectively with a process architect, providing technical feedback on requirements and designs.

What We Offer:

• The opportunity to be a key developer on a project building a core operating system for a major client from the ground up.
• A highly collaborative environment where your technical expertise will directly shape our client's business outcomes.
• A clear and well-documented set of requirements, allowing you to focus on high-quality implementation.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Fully remote position.
