Job Description
We're looking for an experienced software engineer with a track record of technical leadership to join the Rapid Next Platform team.

2026–2027 is a period of significant change as we consolidate multiple legacy ERP systems into a unified modern platform. The work is complex, the codebase is not always clean, and the expectations are high. That's the context you'll be stepping into.
