NetSuite Junior Developer Apprentice

You will join our technical delivery team as an apprentice developer, working on real customer solutions from your first month under the supervision of an experienced consultant.

Year one:

• Learn the NetSuite platform: records, roles and permissions, saved searches, reports and standard financial and operational processes
• Build and test simple customisations - saved searches, workflows, custom fields, forms and dashboards - to a written specification, with your work reviewed before it leaves the team
• Write your first SuiteScript 2.x scripts and SuiteQL queries under supervision
• Pick up and resolve straightforward tickets from our managed services support queue in Jira, keeping worklogs and ticket notes up to date
• Learn our delivery standards: version control, code review, sandbox-first development and the difference between sandbox and production
• Shadow consultants on customer calls to understand how requirements become solutions

Years two and three:

• Develop and unit test SuiteScript 2.x customisations (user event, client, Suitelet, scheduled and map / reduce scripts) against agreed specifications
• Build and maintain Celigo integration flows between NetSuite and third-party applications, including error handling and monitoring
• Use SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) to package and deploy changes through our environments
• Write and maintain technical documentation, unit test scripts and deployment notes
• Investigate and fix defects across NetSuite configuration, scripting and integrations, escalating appropriately
• Contribute to estimates and technical design discussions for customer change requests
• Work towards NetSuite certification (SuiteFoundation, then Administrator or SuiteCloud Developer)

Final year:

• Own discrete development workstreams end to end, from specification through build, test and deployment
• Take part in code reviews as a reviewer as well as an author
• Work directly with customers on technical clarifications and demonstrations, supported by your consultant or project manager
• Complete your end-point assessment, including the work-based project, drawing on GLE delivery work agreed in advance with your manager and the college
