Principal NetSuite Developer

Job Description

Job Description

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING  

• Own the technical architecture and long-term roadmap for our NetSuite ERP environment, ensuring solutions scale with the business rather than creating future rework 

• Lead solution design sessions with business and technical stakeholders, translating complex operational needs into clear, well-architected NetSuite solutions 

• Architect and oversee integrations between NetSuite and third-party systems using SuiteTalk, REST, and SOAP APIs 

• Guide and review development work across SuiteScript 1.0/2.x, SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF), RESTlets, Suitelets, Map/Reduce scripts, and scheduled scripts 

• Make and document architectural decisions on custom records, fields, forms, roles, permissions, and system security to keep the environment clean, auditable, and maintainable long-term 

• Partner with functional leaders across Financials, Order Management, Inventory, and related modules to identify opportunities for ERP optimization and process improvement 

• Lead data migration strategy, including CSV imports, validation frameworks, and cutover planning for major initiatives 

• Set and enforce development standards, documentation practices, and governance for customizations and integrations across the platform 

• Troubleshoot complex, cross-system issues and lead root-cause resolution — not just symptom fixes 

• Serve as the go-to technical mentor for NetSuite developers and administrators — this role has no direct reports, but you'll be the person the team leans on for guidance on tough architecture calls 

• Evaluate and recommend middleware and third-party tools where they make sense for the broader integration strategy 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED (MUST-HAVES)  

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience 

• 7-12 years of ERP implementation, solution architecture, or enterprise systems consulting experience 

• Deep, hands-on expertise in SuiteScript 2.x and SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) 

• Proven experience architecting and delivering integrations between NetSuite and external systems via REST and SOAP APIs 

• Strong command of NetSuite ERP modules, particularly Financials, Order Management, and Inventory 

• A track record of leading solution design conversations with both technical teams and business stakeholders — you can flex between whiteboard architecture talk and a straightforward conversation with a VP 

• Solid foundation in JavaScript and related web technologies 

• Experience owning data migration strategy — CSV imports, validation, and cutover planning 

• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills, with the judgment to know when a fix is a patch versus when it's a signal to redesign 

• Ability to manage multiple concurrent initiatives and competing priorities without losing sight of the bigger architectural picture 

NICE-TO-HAVES  

• NetSuite certifications such as SuiteFoundation, Administrator, or SuiteCloud Developer 

• Experience with middleware platforms such as Celigo, Boomi, or MuleSoft 

• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and SQL 

• Experience developing Advanced PDF/HTML templates 

• Background in Agile or fast-paced, cross-functional environments 

• Prior experience in apparel, manufacturing, or consumer goods 

BENEFITS  

• 401(k) with company match 

• Health care (medical, dental, vision) 

• Employee Assistance Program 

• PTO (vacation, personal days, and 9 company holidays) 

• Opportunities for continuing education and professional growth 

• Employee product discounts
