ERP Platform Architect

The ERP Platform Architect owns the architecture of the foundation underneath Adaptive ERP: the frameworks, shared services, data layer, and runtime that every functional area builds on. This architect is the technical partner to the Director, ERP Platform: one engineering head paired with one architect. The benchmark is a chief-architect-calibre leader early in that arc: broad, credible with executives, and able to drive change rather than only advise on it. Open: final scope and level to be confirmed.

Responsibilities

Develop the platform architecture and technical roadmap with the Director, ERP Platform and the Lead Architect; Define clear contracts and standards for shared platform services: application interfaces, integrations, identity, data access, and extensibility; Assess legacy dependencies and technical debt, and design incremental modernization paths that preserve compatibility for customers; Set requirements for performance, security, resilience, observability, and testability; Review designs and critical implementation choices, using prototypes to resolve hard platform risks; Coach engineers and provide technical input into development plans and promotion assessments

Requirements

Senior architecture and hands-on engineering experience on a complex enterprise software platform; Deep knowledge of frameworks, data layers, APIs, integration patterns, extensibility, and multi-environment deployment; A record of modernizing established software incrementally, balancing long-term architecture with delivery; Influence across engineering teams, turning architectural decisions into implemented outcomes

Nice to have

Enterprise ERP or manufacturing software experience; Experience with Progress/OpenEdge environments and Java services; AI-assisted modernization or development

Benefits

Health and well-being programs that help strike a healthy work-life balance; Opportunity to join a growing business, launching into its next phase of expansion and transformation; Collaborative culture of smart and hard-working people who support one another; An atmosphere of growth and opportunity, where idea-sharing is prioritized over level or hierarchy; Compensation packages based on experience and desired skill set
