This should attract a senior Odoo developer who can own your ERP long-term rather than just complete one project.
# Senior Odoo Developer / ERP Architect (Long-Term Partnership)
## About Us
We are a rapidly growing manufacturing and distribution company operating on a heavily customized Odoo ERP platform. Odoo is the operational backbone of our business, managing purchasing, inventory, logistics, sales, accounting integrations, customer service, vendor management, reporting, and custom workflows.
We are looking for a highly skilled Odoo developer who can become our long-term technical partner. This is not a one-time project. We need someone who can continuously improve, maintain, troubleshoot, and expand our ERP as our business grows.
## What We Need
We need an experienced Odoo developer who can:
* Design and build new custom modules
* Modify and extend existing Odoo functionality
* Maintain and improve custom workflows
* Debug and resolve production issues quickly
* Optimize performance and database operations
* Build custom reports and dashboards
* Create integrations with third-party systems and APIs
* Assist with Odoo upgrades and migrations
* Improve user experience and operational efficiency
* Provide ongoing support and strategic recommendations
Our goal is to have a developer who understands our business processes and becomes an extension of our team.
## Current Environment
Our Odoo environment includes significant customization across multiple departments, including:
* Purchasing
* Inventory Management
* Warehouse Operations
* Manufacturing Processes
* Vendor Management
* Customer Service
* Logistics & Freight Operations
* Reporting & Analytics
* Accounting Integrations
* CRM and Sales Operations
We have numerous custom modules, automated workflows, and business-specific processes that require both maintenance and ongoing enhancement.

* 5+ years of Odoo development experience
* Strong Python skills

* Inventory-heavy operations
* Warehouse management
* Logistics and transportation workflows
* EDI integrations
* Shipping carrier integrations
* Accounting and financial integrations
* Business process automation
## How We Work
We move quickly and expect proactive communication.
We are looking for someone who:
* Thinks like an ERP architect, not just a programmer
* Can recommend better solutions instead of simply following instructions
* Understands business processes and operational efficiency
* Documents their work clearly
* Writes maintainable, production-quality code
* Can handle both small fixes and large development projects
## Initial Engagement
The first phase will include:
* Reviewing our current Odoo environment
* Understanding our custom modules and workflows
* Identifying technical debt and improvement opportunities
* Completing several maintenance and enhancement tasks
If the relationship is successful, this can become a long-term ongoing engagement with consistent work.
## To Apply
Please include:
1. Your Odoo experience (years and versions worked with)
2. Examples of custom Odoo modules you have built
3. Examples of complex business workflows you have implemented
4. Experience with manufacturing, inventory, or logistics operations
5. Your availability (hours/week)
6. Your hourly rate
7. A brief description of the most complex Odoo project you have worked on
We are looking for a true long-term partner who can help us continue building a world-class ERP platform.
A tip: I'd also add a screening question that instantly filters out 80% of applicants:
**"Describe an Odoo customization you built that significantly changed a company's business process. What was the problem, what did you build, and what measurable result did it achieve?"**
The strongest Odoo developers answer with business outcomes. The weaker ones only talk about code.
