About OLIX
AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.
The Role
We're implementing IFS as our business ERP and manufacturing MES platform, and there's significant customisation required to make it fit how OLIX actually operates. We're looking for an IFS Programmer/Developer to work hands-on with the platform: configuring, customising, and integrating it so it reflects our real business and manufacturing processes rather than a generic template. This is a foundational hire on our IFS build-out, based out of our London HQ, with real scope to grow as the implementation, and your ownership of it, expands.
Responsibilities
- Support the definition of OLIX business processes across finance, operations, and manufacturing
- Deliver IFS customisations that implement those business processes in the system
- Establish system connectivity between IFS and other OLIX business tools (e.g. PTC Windchill, REST APIs)
- Work closely with functional stakeholders (finance, supply chain, manufacturing) to translate process requirements into working IFS configuration and custom development
- Help establish good practice for how we build, test, and maintain customisations as the implementation scales
Skills & Experience
- Hands-on experience developing or customising IFS (ideally IFS Cloud), gained as a consultant or implementer at an IFS partner/reseller, or in-house at a company running IFS
- Solid understanding of IFS architecture: extensibility/customisation frameworks, workflows, business process configuration, and reporting
- Experience integrating IFS (or a comparable ERP/MES platform) with external systems via REST APIs and other integration methods
- Comfortable working directly with SQL/PLSQL or similar to extend data models and reporting
- Able to work directly with non-technical business stakeholders to turn process needs into system solutions
- Self-starter who's comfortable with real ownership early on, in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
Nice to have
- Experience with PTC Windchill or similar PLM systems, and integrating PLM with ERP
- Exposure to MES/manufacturing shop-floor processes: production orders, traceability, quality, inventory, planning
- Experience in a hardware, industrial, or manufacturing business rather than a purely SaaS environment
- Prior experience in a startup or scale-up going through its first major ERP implementation
Compensation & Equity
- Competitive salary: commensurate with experience, skills, and location
- Equity & Ownership: meaningful stock options, you're not just joining the mission, you're owning a piece of it
Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at OLIX depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.
