Senior Openerp / Python Developer

Senior OpenERP – Python Developer

While the customer-facing web site is our shop-front, the beating heart of the business is our ERP application. We use OpenERP, an open source Python web application, to handle stock management, order fulfillment, supplier orders, warehouse and shipping logistics. It also handles sales made over the phone and sales to trade customers, and provides financial data necessary for our accounting system. An efficient supply chain is a key part of our business model, and we would like to be able to use the data in OpenERP to answers question like how lead-time of products impacts sales, to forecast sales and calculate which products to order in what quantities and when.

The Company is also at heart a technology company, so we strive to be world-class in our use of technology, and to find world-class people to work for us. Software development is a craft and we are looking to for someone to lead and mentor the team in the principles of software craftsmanship. We would like to be making a significant contribution to the developer community, and the OpenERP project specifically.
