Join the team as our new Senior Java Software Engineer - Logistics
India | Logistics
We are looking for a senior Java engineer to join the Logistics team at Protolabs, where our mission is to provide a single, reliable platform for shipping that the rest of the business builds on. The team is responsible for global shipments and logistics, carrier management, rates, tracking, customs, and enabling our manufacturing partners to ship on our behalf - capabilities that today are spread across multiple services and tools built independently by different teams.
We're consolidating these into a coherent domain, designing new services and integrations while gradually replacing the patchwork, and building foundations that hold up as Protolabs continues to scale globally. You'll ship early, small slices of value while getting the abstractions right for the long term.
What You'll Do:
- Design, develop, test, deploy, and support enhancements to the company's ERP system.
- Provide day-to-day technical support for existing business operations, including troubleshooting and resolving application issues.
- Maintain and enhance integrations between the ERP and other corporate systems.
- Ensure ERP solutions meet performance, reliability, and security standards.
- Partner with business stakeholders and functional teams to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
- Deliver new features and improvements that support evolving business processes.
- Participate in solution design, technical reviews, and impact assessments for proposed changes.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following established development standards.
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of development practices.
- Collaborate effectively with engineers, analysts, QA, and operations teams.
- Communicate progress, risks, and dependencies clearly to team members and stakeholders.
- Explore and apply AI-based tools or techniques to improve development efficiency and automation, where appropriate.
- Stay current with best practices in ERP development, Microsoft technologies, and enterprise systems.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
