About Us

At Rapid Die Cut, we are reinventing the industrial supply chain by digitally enabling every aspect of the manufacturing process. Our backbone is an open-source, Python-based ERP systemOdoowhich we are transforming into an AI-native, real-time operations engine.

From order entry through shipping and logistics, our goal is full digitization. We are building the connective tissue between ERP, factory floor systems, and AI agents to make manufacturing smarter, faster, and more resilient.

Why This Role Matters
We are looking for a hands-on Odoo ERP Developer who thrives at the intersection of business logic, data modeling, and systems thinking. This is not a frontend or full-stack role. This is a core backend position focused on:
- Customizing the business logic layer of Odoo
- Modeling real-time factory data and ontologies in PostgreSQL
- Designing new data structures for AI integration
- Enabling agentic and contextual automation across workflows

What You'll Do
Customize core Odoo modules (Manufacturing, Inventory, CRM, Logistics) to model and automate complex industrial workflows.
Extend Odoos data and business logic layers, adding custom models, fields, and processes.
Integrate real-time data feeds from IoT devices and factory equipment into Odoo or adjacent systems.
Implement context-aware protocols for AI agents to interact with ERP workflows.
Design scalable PostgreSQL schemas to support new ontologies and AI-native manufacturing data.
Collaborate with manufacturing engineers and product teams to map out operational logic and implement it in Odoo.
Develop clean, testable Python code following Odoo and modular programming best practices.

Must-Have Qualifications
3+ years hands-on experience with Odoo development, especially back-end customization
Strong Python engineering skills with understanding of Odoo ORM, XML views, and module architecture; regular use of modern development tools like GitHub Copilot / Cursor
Deep experience with PostgreSQL schema design, optimization, and data modeling
Familiarity with manufacturing processes, ERP workflows, and real-time operations data
Ability to work closely with non-technical stakeholders to translate needs into system logic
Experience with APIs, webhooks, and Python-based integrations with industrial systems

Bonus Points For
Familiarity with IoT data protocols, OPC UA, MQTT, or similar
Experience with AI/agentic frameworks, Model Context Protocol or contextual decision systems
Exposure to knowledge graph or ontology modeling
Experience with Odoo automation, QWeb templates, or server actions
Previous work in smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0, or digital twins

Why Join Us?
Help build a next-generation, AI-native ERP system
Work at the core of a platform transforming the U.S. manufacturing landscape
Modern tech stack: Odoo + PostgreSQL + Python + Real-time IoT + AI
Autonomy to experiment, innovate, and grow alongside the system
Work with a team of hands-on builders who care about real-world impact
