Business Systems Integration Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Description: Description: Business Systems Developer Company Overview Salzman Group, Inc. is a multi-entity organization spanning ecommerce, distribution, manufacturing, retail, and roastery operations. Our business depends on a connected ecosystem of ERP, ecommerce, warehouse, CRM, reporting, automation, AI-enabled, and customer-facing systems. Business Systems & Technology is a flexible, cross-functional division responsible for helping those systems, and the people who use them, work better. Our work is often low-visibility but high-impact: reducing operational friction, improving data integrity, connecting systems, building practical tools, and making work across the organization easier and more reliable. Position Overview The Business Systems Developer is a full-stack development role responsible for designing, building, integrating, documenting, testing, and supporting technology solutions across Salzman Group. The role shares the broad organizational scope of the Business Systems & Technology Analyst but focuses primarily on systems design, technical implementation, and code authoring. The developer will turn operational needs, business requirements, and project plans into applications, integrations, automations, reporting tools, data processes, and other working solutions. This is not an isolated software-development position. The developer will work directly with business users, project owners, vendors, and technical contributors to understand how the organization operates and why a solution is needed. They should be comfortable entering unfamiliar systems, workflows, and data models, building context quickly, and selecting an approach appropriate to the problem. Some projects will require durable, thoroughly designed systems with formal testing, monitoring, deployment controls, and long-term documentation. Others may be best handled with a prototype, migration utility, one-time script, or intentionally disposable application. Good judgment about the appropriate level of engineering effort is essential. The role normally reports to the Director & Chief Architect of Business Systems & Technology. Depending on the project, day-to-day priorities may also be coordinated through another manager or project owner. Technical standards, architectural alignment, and career management remain within Business Systems & Technology. How We Work Business Systems & Technology operates as a small, responsive team. We maintain plans and long-term goals, but priorities may shift as organizational needs change. Team members are expected to manage their own work, communicate progress and risk clearly, ask questions early, and collaborate effectively whether working independently, alongside another developer, or within a larger cross-functional team. We value practical judgment over unnecessary complexity. The right solution may be a resilient production application, an integration, a controlled automation, a one-time utility, a configuration change, or a recommendation not to write code. We do not expect expertise in every system or technology we use. We do expect curiosity, disciplined learning, professional humility, and the ability to become effective in unfamiliar environments. Key ResponsibilitiesBusiness Discovery & Solution Design Work with stakeholders and end users to understand workflows, constraints, data sources, failure modes, and desired outcomes. Translate ambiguous needs into technical requirements, implementation plans, system designs, and acceptance criteria. Investigate unfamiliar applications, APIs, databases, data models, and architectural environments. Identify dependencies and downstream effects before changing shared systems or data flows. Communicate tradeoffs involving delivery speed, durability, cost, security, data integrity, technical debt, and maintainability. Recognize when a request is better addressed through configuration, process improvement, training, or an existing product instead of custom software. Full-Stack Development Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain internal and customer-facing applications. Develop backend services, APIs, integrations, scheduled processes, and data workflows. Build practical user interfaces for office, warehouse, retail, and customer environments. Extend and integrate existing platforms where appropriate. Diagnose defects and production issues across applications, integrations, infrastructure, and data. Modernize legacy applications when doing so provides meaningful operational or technical value. Systems Integration, Automation & Data Build integrations among ERP, ecommerce, CRM, warehouse, shipping, support, reporting, marketing, and vendor systems. Work with APIs, webhooks, file exchanges, scheduled jobs, and other integration patterns. Account for retries, duplicate events, partial failures, rate limits, pagination, and changing third-party data. Build automations that reduce manual work while preserving necessary review, visibility, and control. Work with relational databases, SQL, structured data, imports, exports, reconciliations, and reporting datasets. Establish clear identifiers, sources of truth, validation rules, and safeguards against incomplete, stale, duplicate, or conflicting records. Commerce & Business Platforms Build and maintain Shopify applications, functions, extensions, storefront integrations, and supporting services. Support Odoo development, customization, integration, and data workflows. Develop or support HubSpot integrations and business processes; comparable Salesforce experience is also relevant. Work with product, customer, order, inventory, pricing, purchasing, fulfillment, shipping, service, and financial-adjacent data. Understand how technical changes affect operations, customer experience, reporting, accounting processes, and downstream systems. AI-Assisted Engineering Use AI-assisted tools for research, planning, implementation, testing, review, analysis, and documentation. Establish sufficient context, requirements, constraints, and acceptance criteria before relying on generated output. Review, test, and take professional ownership of AI-generated code, documentation, queries, and recommendations. Recognize output that is incomplete, incorrect, insecure, or based on invalid assumptions. Build AI-enabled tools where they provide clear and supportable business value. Contribute technical perspective to AI governance, tool evaluation, data-control policies, and lifecycle management. Favor well-planned and well-validated AI-assisted engineering over unstructured experimentation. Fit-for-Purpose Engineering Match the implementation approach to the project’s risk, urgency, expected lifespan, and business impact. Apply appropriate architecture, testing, monitoring, deployment, and documentation standards to durable systems. Build lightweight prototypes, diagnostic tools, migration utilities, and one-time scripts when a larger system is not justified. Clearly identify temporary code and prevent it from becoming an undocumented production dependency. Avoid both overengineering small problems and underengineering systems the organization will rely upon. Reliability, Testing & Documentation Implement testing appropriate to the solution and its level of operational risk. Test with representative data, realistic edge cases, failure conditions, and production-like scale where practical. Build useful logging, monitoring, diagnostics, error handling, and recovery paths. Support deployment, rollback, production troubleshooting, and incident investigation. Consider security, permissions, credential handling, dependency risk, and data exposure throughout development. Produce design and implementation documentation covering architecture, assumptions, data flows, setup, operation, testing, troubleshooting, and recovery. Create user-facing instructions, release notes, and training materials appropriate to the audience. Treat documentation and knowledge transfer as part of the completed deliverable. Collaboration & Self-Management Break work into understandable phases, dependencies, risks, and testable deliverables. Manage independent work while keeping progress, uncertainty, decisions, and blockers visible. Adapt constructively when organizational priorities change. Collaborate with the Business Systems & Technology Analyst on requirements, stakeholder communication, testing, documentation, training, and adoption. Work effectively with managers, subject-matter experts, vendors, and implementation partners. Communicate technical concepts clearly to people with different levels of technical familiarity. Join established projects without unnecessarily discarding their existing context, conventions, or architecture.
