About the role

This is a remote position.

We’re seeking a hands-on Odoo specialist to independently run discovery, configuration, and custom development to transition our business workflows into Odoo. You’ll turn real-world processes into maintainable Odoo solutions, handle data migration, training, and go-live, and set us up for smooth version upgrades with customisations, robust dashboards/visual reporting, and a well-governed third-party app ecosystem.
Target go-live: end of the current financial year
Engagement: flexible (full-time, part-time)
Schedule: Monday to Friday, Brisbane time

Key Responsibilities
Discovery & Design

Build/extend via Python/ORM, QWeb, server actions, wizards, and scheduled jobs.
Deliver dashboards and visual reporting for operational and leadership KPIs.

Upgrades & App Ecosystem

Plan and execute Odoo version updates with existing customisations (refactor, test, migrate, rollback).
Evaluate, install, and maintain third-party/OCA apps (compatibility, licensing, security).
Use Git workflows (and optionally CI/CD); uphold coding standards and code reviews.

Deployment & Change

Own data migration, UAT, cutover, and hyper-care; manage an issue log/backlog.
Create technical and user documentation; deliver training and adoption support.

Quality & Reliability

Implement automated tests where practical; monitor logs and performance.
Optimise queries and indexes; maintain backup/restore and recovery procedures.

Collaboration & Delivery

Work directly with operational stakeholders to gather requirements and validate outcomes.
Estimate effort, manage timelines, and communicate progress/risks clearly.

Required Qualifications

3+ years Odoo development/implementation experience with end-to-end delivery.
Strong Python, PostgreSQL, XML, and JavaScript; solid Odoo ORM/QWeb skills.
Proven track record creating custom modules, reports, and dashboards.
Hands-on version upgrade experience with custom code preserved/refactored.
Comfortable with Git and agile ways of working; excellent communication and problem-solving.
Experience with Odoo 18 (or 17+ with readiness to maintain on v18).
