Client: It’s a multinational food processing company.

About the role:

We're hiring a QuickBase Lead to own the design, delivery, and governance of business-critical applications on the QuickBase platform. You'll be the senior technical voice on QuickBase across the organization — architecting solutions, mentoring developers, partnering with business stakeholders, and integrating QuickBase with enterprise systems including SAP, Boomi, Power Automate, and external APIs. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll write formulas and code pages as readily as you'll run design reviews and roadmap discussions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end design & development of QuickBase applications including data modelling, automation, reporting, and security

• Build complex formulas, Formula-Query fields, Pipelines, and advanced workflow automation

• Develop and maintain HTML/JavaScript code pages for enhanced UI and API-driven solutions

• Design integrations with SAP, Boomi, RPA platforms, and third-party applications using REST/XML APIs

• Architect high-volume, multi-system Pipelines with strong error handling and retry logic

• Define architecture standards, governance, documentation, and best practices across the platform

• Conduct code reviews, mentor developers, and manage dev → sandbox → production deployments

• Partner with Finance, Supply Chain, IT, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable technical solutions

• Drive application performance, monitoring, security, platform upgrades, and disaster recovery readiness

• Evaluate and recommend QuickBase, Power Apps, or custom solutions based on business needs

Required Experience:

• 6+ years of QuickBase development experience, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity
• Deep expertise in QuickBase formulas, relationships, roles & permissions, Pipelines, and reporting
• Hands-on experience with QuickBase RESTful and XML APIs, including authentication and rate-limit handling
• Proven ability to build code pages with HTML, JavaScript, and client-side API calls
• Experience integrating QuickBase with enterprise systems (SAP, Boomi, Power Automate, RPA, or similar)
• Strong data modelling skills and the judgment to know when to normalize vs. de-normalize
• Track record of leading delivery on applications with hundreds of users and 100K+ records
• Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to senior business and IT leaders

Preferred Experience:

• QuickBase certifications (App Builder, Pipelines, Solution Consultant)
• Experience with adjacent platforms: Power Automate, Blue Prism, UiPath, Boomi
• Background in finance, supply chain, trade promotion, or CPG business processes
• Familiarity with SAP modules (AR, vendor master, OData/BAPI) and ERP integration patterns
• Exposure to agentic AI, ML classification, or document-grounded automation workflows
• Experience in regulated environments (SOX, GDPR, internal audit requirements)
