ERP Full Stack Development Lead - MERN & NestJS

Job Description

ERP Full Stack Development Lead – MERN & NestJS

Role Overview

We are looking for a highly experienced, technically strong, and ownership-oriented ERP Full Stack Development Lead with deep expertise in MERN, NestJS, React.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, and enterprise ERP application development.

This is not a conventional ERP developer position. The selected individual will be expected to take end-to-end technical ownership of the organization's current and upcoming ERP development projects, while also leading, mentoring, strengthening, and improving the productivity of the existing development team.

The ideal candidate should have overall software development experience, with a minimum of 5 years of substantial hands-on experience in ERP / enterprise application development.

The person should have practical experience working on an ERP product consisting of at least 10 integrated modules and should understand not only software development, but also business processes, workflows, integrations, data flow, implementation challenges, project estimation, delivery management, debugging, team productivity, and the complete ERP software lifecycle.

We are looking for someone who can operate as a technical owner rather than simply a task executor.

The Expected Outcome From This Role Is:

AI-assisted development + Rapid Development + Higher Accuracy + Higher Developer Productivity + Faster Project Delivery + Stronger Development Team

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End ERP Development Ownership
• Take technical ownership of the organization's current and future ERP development projects.
• Understand the complete ERP product architecture, modules, workflows, integrations, dependencies, and technical ecosystem.
• Manage and guide the development lifecycle from requirement analysis → technical design → estimation → development → testing support → deployment → maintenance → enhancement.
• Ensure that development decisions are aligned with long-term ERP product scalability and maintainability.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, bottlenecks, and delivery challenges before they affect projects.
• Establish development standards that can be consistently followed across current and future ERP projects.
• Ensure that new requirements are developed without unnecessarily compromising existing ERP functionality.
• Maintain technical consistency across modules and projects.
• ERP Domain Expertise
  
  

The candidate must have real-world ERP development experience, preferably involving an ERP product with 10 or more integrated modules.

Strong Understanding Of Enterprise Workflows Such As:

• Sales
• Purchase

• CRM
• Service
• HR / Payroll
• Projects
• Reporting & Dashboards
• Master Data
• Approval Workflows
• User & Role Management
• Notifications
• Integrations
• Document Management
  
  

The candidate should be capable of understanding a business requirement and translating it into:

Business Requirement → ERP Workflow → Technical Design → API → Database → UI → Validation → Testing → Deployment

The individual should be able to distinguish between a quick coding solution and a proper ERP-grade solution that can support future requirements.

• Full Stack Development
  
  

Design, develop, review, optimize, and maintain scalable enterprise applications using:

Backend

• Formik
• React Hook Form (RHF)
• Reusable component development
• Complex enterprise forms
• API integration

• Design scalable MongoDB data models for ERP applications.
• Design and optimize Mongoose schemas.
• Write efficient MongoDB queries and aggregations.
• Identify and resolve database performance issues.
• Understand relationships and dependencies between ERP entities.
• Ensure data consistency and integrity across complex business workflows.
• Review database changes before implementation in critical modules.

The candidate must be highly capable of converting requirements into realistic, technically defensible ETAs.

Responsibilities Include:

• Analyze incoming requirements quickly.
• Break requirements into development tasks.
• Identify dependencies and technical complexity.
• Provide accurate development estimates and ETAs.
• Identify parallelizable development activities.
• Allocate work effectively across developers.
• Track estimated vs. actual development effort.
• Continuously improve estimation accuracy.
  
  

The role should be capable of assessing and planning ETAs for a high-volume development pipeline, including 100+ new project/change requests or requirements in a month, without compromising technical quality.

The expectation is not simply to provide an ETA, but to build a development system capable of predictable and measurable delivery.

• Rapid Development & Faster Delivery
  
  

We are specifically looking for a developer who believes in rapid, disciplined, and intelligent development.

The Candidate Should:

• Develop rapidly without compromising maintainability.
• Minimize unnecessary development cycles.

• Identify repetitive development activities and automate them.
• Establish reusable development frameworks and standards.
• Reduce rework caused by incomplete analysis or poor implementation.
• Improve developer productivity continuously.
• Identify bottlenecks in the current development process and eliminate them.
• Convert requirements into production-ready functionality quickly and accurately.
  
  

The Objective Is:

More quality output in less time — not simply more lines of code.

The candidate should not merely know how to use AI tools personally, but should be capable of introducing, standardizing, and improving AI-assisted development practices across the entire development team.

The Candidate Is Expected To Continuously Identify:

What can be developed faster with AI

What can be tested more accurately with AI

What can be automated with AI

What repetitive developer activity can be eliminated with AI

AI should be treated as a development productivity tool, while maintaining proper engineering judgment, security, correctness, maintainability, and code quality.

• Team Leadership & Productivity
  
  

This position carries significant responsibility for the productivity and technical growth of the development team.

The Candidate Should:

• Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the existing developers.
• Assess the technical capability of individual team members.
• Allocate work according to capability and project priority.
• Mentor developers technically.
• Conduct meaningful code reviews.
• Improve development practices across the team.

• Encourage AI-assisted development practices.
• Establish accountability for assigned work.
• Track commitments and delivery.
• Create a culture of ownership rather than dependency.
• Motivate developers toward continuous technical improvement.
• Uplift the overall technical capability of the team.
  
  

The expectation is to make the team stronger, faster, and more independent over time.

• Ownership & Accountability
  
  

The successful candidate must demonstrate a strong ownership mindset.

This Role Requires Someone Who:

• Takes responsibility for outcomes, not merely assigned tasks.
• Follows a requirement until it reaches completion.
• Does not wait for problems to become escalations.
• Identifies problems proactively.
• Communicates delays and risks early.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for an individual who is far beyond a conventional ERP developer.

You should be someone who can look at an ERP requirement and understand the business problem, workflow, architecture, database, API, frontend, development effort, team allocation, delivery timeline, testing requirements, deployment implications, and future scalability.

You should be comfortable getting hands-on with the code while simultaneously leading the team and improving the development process.

We are looking for someone who does not simply ask:

What should I develop

We Are Looking For Someone Who Asks:

What needs to be delivered, how can we build it correctly and rapidly, how can AI accelerate it, how can the team deliver it, and how can we continuously improve the way we build our ERP

If you are an experienced ERP technology professional who can take technical ownership, lead people, solve complex problems, drive AI-powered development, and deliver enterprise software at speed, this role is intended for you.
