As we continue to scale our global platform, the ERP Developer will play a critical role in maintaining, modernizing, and integrating mission-critical ERP and manufacturing systems for the Fanatics Brands team.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Fanatics Brands is seeking experienced developers to join our team in Hyderabad, focused on sustaining and evolving ERP systems built on Informix 4GL and COBOL that power Order Management, Inventory Control, and Fulfillment operations. This role sits at the intersection of legacy system stewardship and modernization, connecting established platforms with solutions like Manhattan Active to drive operational continuity and transformation. The ERP Developer delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.

HOW WILL YOU DRIVE IMPACT

Success is measured by the ability to deliver results through BOLD capabilities and measurable outcomes.

Team & Leadership Impact (Build Championship Teams)

  • Partner closely with business analysts, cross-functional stakeholders, and platform teams to translate complex ERP requirements into reliable technical solutions.
  • Collaborate with integration and modernization workstreams to align legacy system capabilities with broader platform roadmaps, including Manhattan Active and other modern solutions.
  • Contribute domain expertise in ERP workflows to cross-functional initiatives spanning Order Management, Inventory, and Fulfillment.

Fan & Customer Impact (Obsessed with Fans)

  • Ensure the stability and performance of ERP systems that underpin order fulfillment and inventory accuracy, directly impacting the customer experience for fans worldwide.
  • Support ERP workflows that enable timely, accurate delivery of sports merchandise by resolving incidents and break-fix issues with urgency and precision.
  • Build APIs and wrapper services that improve system interoperability, reducing friction in the fulfillment journey from order placement to delivery.
  • Document legacy business logic to preserve institutional knowledge and protect continuity of fan-facing operations during modernization efforts.

Innovation & Problem Solving (Limitless Entrepreneurial Spirit)

  • Identify opportunities to refactor legacy Informix 4GL and COBOL code for improved maintainability, performance, and long-term scalability.
  • Assist in migration planning and the integration of legacy ERP systems with modern platforms, contributing to the broader modernization roadmap.
  • Apply CI/CD practices to legacy system environments, introducing engineering discipline and repeatability to historically manual processes.
  • Explore and evaluate emerging integration patterns, low-code platforms such as Genero, and batch-workflow improvements that can accelerate modernization goals.

Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)

  • Take end-to-end ownership of ERP module development and enhancement, from requirements intake through deployment and post-release support.
  • Manage Informix database schemas and stored procedures, optimizing SQL queries to maintain system health and performance under production conditions.
  • Provide reliable incident resolution and operational support across the full ERP stack, ensuring minimal disruption to Order Management, Inventory, and Fulfillment functions.
  • Maintain thorough documentation of technical solutions, integration designs, and legacy business logic to support team knowledge-sharing and audit readiness.

AI & DIGITAL CAPABILITY

We are building a future-ready organization. This role is expected to:

  • Apply AI and technology to improve efficiency, quality, and outcomes
  • Use data and digital tools to inform decisions and enhance performance
  • Demonstrate curiosity and adaptability in adopting new technologies and ways of working

  • Experience with COBOL for ERP development, with 2+ years of hands-on COBOL work in a production environment.
  • Familiarity with UNIX/Linux environments, with AIX experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience supporting ERP domains including Order Management, Inventory Control, and Fulfillment.
  • Working understanding of APIs, integration patterns, and batch-driven workflows, with the ability to build wrapper services that connect legacy and modern systems.
  • Prior exposure to retail or supply chain ERP systems, with the ability to apply domain knowledge to complex technical problem-solving.
  • Strong analytical and documentation skills, with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly across cross-functional teams.
