The Role

Datacor is modernizing its flagship ERP platform, an enterprise-grade, multi-tenant system used by hundreds of process-manufacturing customers. We are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to contribute to the development of new features, focusing on backend services and the web client. The role involves designing schemas, writing services, developing the user-facing web client, integrating with shared platform services, and leveraging AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship features end-to-end from database schema and backend services through to the user-facing web client.
• Design new domain modules using established architectural patterns and conventions.
• Own multi-tenant correctness by writing migrations that comply with Row-Level Security, respecting the RLS transaction context in queries, and following the persist/flush discipline.
• Integrate with shared platform services such as background jobs, real-time updates, file storage, email, document intelligence, and authentication and authorization.
• Leverage AI tools effectively, using Claude Code (and similar) to accelerate routine work, while exercising judgment on what to accept, adapt, or reject.
• Raise the bar on quality through code review, type-safety, performance discipline (no N+1 queries, lazy loading, parallel APIs), and adherence to our trunk-based development workflow.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, tech leads, QA, UX, and domain experts to translate functional requirements into well-designed software.
• Contribute to platform evolution by proposing improvements to shared libraries (DTOs, validation rules, i18n, shared constants), the metadata system, and developer tooling.

Qualifications Required

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production web applications.
• Strong TypeScript across both frontend and backend, with comfort moving fluidly between the two.
• Solid React experience (hooks, component composition, performance, state management) in a non-trivial application.
• Server-side experience with Node.js and a structured framework NestJS preferred; Express, Fastify, or comparable accepted.
• Relational database fluency PostgreSQL preferred, including schema design, indexing, and writing migrations. Familiarity with an ORM (MikroORM, TypeORM, Prisma, Hibernate, etc.).
• Multi-tenant or SaaS experience and an understanding of why tenant isolation matters (RLS, scoped queries, or equivalent approaches).
• Modern delivery practices Git, pull requests, CI/CD, code review, testing, and trunk-based or short-lived-branch workflows.
• Demonstrated productivity with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar). You can describe concrete examples of how you use them, where they help, and where you override them.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, and in code reviews. You can explain trade-offs, push back constructively, and document decisions.

Preferred

• ERP or business-application domain knowledge general ledger, AR/AP, inventory, purchasing, sales orders, bank reconciliation, or process-manufacturing concepts. This is a meaningful plus; we can teach the domain, but prior exposure shortens ramp-up.
• Process-manufacturing experience (chemicals, food and beverage, coatings, etc.) or familiarity with formulation, lot tracking, or compliance requirements.
• AWS hands-on experience with ECS, RDS, S3, CDK, or Bedrock.
• Document intelligence, RAG, or LLM integration in a production system.
• Internationalization and accessibility experience in a multi-locale product.
