Your Opportunity

BDO Digital is looking for a Senior NetSuite Developer to join our growing NetSuite ERP Practice, with the ability to work from anywhere in Canada. This net new role is a foundational one within our Canada practice. As BDO’s first dedicated NetSuite developer, you will not only deliver exceptional technical solutions for our clients, but also define the technical standards, development frameworks, and best practices that will shape how our entire NetSuite practice operates — now and as the team scales.

This means you will be equally responsible for building great solutions and building the structure that supports long-term growth, consistency, and quality across all client engagements.

Core Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted technical advisor to external customers and BDO project teams in support of NetSuite ERP implementations, enhancements, and optimizations
• Serve as the lead NetSuite developer on complex projects, providing technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to other developers and consultants
• Translate business and functional requirements into high-quality, scalable NetSuite solutions
• Design, develop, test, and deploy custom NetSuite solutions using SuiteScript (2.x), workflows, saved searches, SuiteFlow, and SuiteBuilder; understand and write or update scripts in legacy SuiteScript versions (1.x) when required to support existing client environments where migration to 2.x is not yet feasible
• Develop and maintain integrations between NetSuite and third-party applications using REST/SOAP APIs, middleware, and file-based integrations
• Support data migration, system configuration, testing, and deployment activities across full-cycle NetSuite implementations
• Collaborate closely with functional consultants, solution architects, and project managers to ensure technical solutions align with business objectives
• Perform code reviews, troubleshooting, and performance optimization to ensure solution quality and system stability
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of BDO NetSuite development standards, best practices, and reusable assets
• Provide technical training, documentation, and knowledge transfer to internal teams and client stakeholders

Establishing Best Practices & Structure

As BDO Canada’s first NetSuite developer, a key part of your mandate is to build the foundation. You will be expected to define, champion, and evolve the standards and frameworks that govern how we develop, integrate, test, and deliver NetSuite solutions. This includes:

• Define and champion BDO’s internal NetSuite development standards — including coding conventions, naming conventions, error-handling protocols, and documentation requirements — to establish a consistent and maintainable codebase across all projects
• Architect and maintain a reusable component library and template repository (e.g., via SuiteCloud Development Framework and Git), enabling faster, more consistent delivery across client engagements
• Establish and enforce a structured code review and quality assurance process, including automated or manual testing checkpoints prior to deployment, to ensure every solution meets a defined quality bar before go-live
• Define and lead a script performance optimization framework — including guidelines for profiling, benchmarking, and refactoring SuiteScript solutions — and ensure that all optimization efforts are measured against defined KPIs (e.g., script execution time, API call reduction, page load latency) to deliver demonstrable, quantifiable improvements in system performance
• Design and implement a scalable integration framework — including standard patterns for REST/SOAP API connectivity, error handling, logging, and retry logic — to serve as the foundation for all future third-party integrations
• Develop and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including architecture decision records, integration maps, deployment runbooks, and onboarding guides, to support knowledge continuity and team growth
• Build and lead an internal knowledge-sharing program (e.g., regular code reviews, lunch-and-learns, or a shared wiki) to ensure best practices are adopted consistently across the growing NetSuite practice
• Evaluate and recommend new NetSuite platform capabilities, third-party tools, and methodologies on a regular basis to keep BDO’s practice current and competitive
• Serve as the point of escalation and technical decision-maker when resolving complex development challenges or conflicting technical priorities across concurrent engagements

How Do We Define Success for Your Role?

• You understand your client’s industry, challenges, and opportunities; clients describe you as positive, professional, and delivering high-quality work

• You share in an inclusive and engaging work environment that develops, retains, and attracts talent
• You actively participate in the adoption of digital tools and strategies to drive an innovative workplace
• You grow your expertise through learning and professional development
• You take ownership of building and sustaining the technical foundation that will support BDO’s NetSuite practice for years to come
• BDO’s internal teams and clients recognize the consistency, reliability, and quality of solutions delivered under the standards you establish

Your Experience and Education

• Minimum 5+ years of NetSuite development experience, including hands-on expertise with SuiteScript (2.x) and a working understanding of legacy SuiteScript versions (1.x) to support and maintain older client environments as needed
• Experience delivering full-cycle NetSuite implementations, including design, development, testing, deployment, and post-go-live support
• Strong experience with SuiteScript (Client, User Event, Suitelet, Map/Reduce), NetSuite workflows (SuiteFlow), saved searches, reports, and dashboards, and NetSuite customization and configuration best practices
• Proven experience designing and supporting integrations using REST/SOAP APIs and middleware platforms
• Solid understanding of ERP business processes, including finance, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and record-to-report
• Experience working with SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) and source control (e.g., Git) is an asset
• NetSuite certifications (e.g., SuiteFoundation, SuiteCloud Developer) will be considered in the selection process
• Demonstrated ability to define, document, and enforce development standards and best practices within a team or practice setting
• Experience building or contributing to reusable solution frameworks, template libraries, or shared tooling for development teams
• Proven experience in identifying, profiling, and optimizing SuiteScript performance, with the ability to define and track measurable metrics (e.g., execution time reduction, decreased API calls, improved page load times) to demonstrate tangible system performance improvements
• Self-motivated, articulate, and able to lead technical discussions, mentor peers, and influence technical direction
