What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Systems Developer position at TAIT?
TAIT partners with artists, brands, IP holders and place makers to bring culture-defining, never-before-seen experiences to life. With a legacy of innovation spanning over 45 years, TAIT has grown from pioneering in rock ‘n’ roll concert staging to setting the global standard for extraordinary live events and experiences through cutting-edge technology, precision engineering, and creative design. TAIT’s 20 global offices have developed iconic productions and experiences in over 30 countries, all seven continents, and even outer space for renowned performers, theme parks, exhibits, and venues across the globe, including partnerships with Taylor Swift, Cirque Du Soleil, Royal Opera House, Nike, NASA, Bloomberg, Google, Beyoncé, and The Olympics
TAIT builds some of the world's most complex live events - and our internal operations deserve tools as sharp as the shows we produce. The Business Systems Developer sits inside our Global Procurement & Supply Chain function and exists for one purpose: to rapidly build and deploy internal software tools that eliminate manual work, connect our systems, and give our teams capabilities they don't have today.
This is a builder role, not an analyst role. You will use AI-assisted development tools - Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, and others - as your primary development accelerator, and you will be skilled enough to handle everything those tools don't finish: wiring APIs together, integrating with our ERP, debugging edge cases, managing deployments, and partnering with IT to make things production-ready.
The scope is broad by design. You might spend one week building a supplier RFP tool that sends templated emails from our supplier database. The next week you are building a mobile scanning app that updates inventory records directly in our ERP. The week after that, you are standing up a tool that takes a photo of raw materials on a staging floor and returns a rough inventory count using computer vision. There are dozens of these tools waiting to be built. Your job is to ship them.
You do not need a background in procurement or supply chain. You need strong logical thinking, clean coding instincts, and the ability to take a messy business problem and turn it into a working tool - fast.
This role is on-site in Lititz, Pennsylvania.
Responsibilities
Work is performed primarily in a standard office environment.
Role may require extended periods of computer-based work and participation in meetings.
Occasional travel or visits to TAIT production or project environments may be required based on business needs. Must be able to follow all applicable safety and site requirements when visiting operational areas.
TAIT Benefits
Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans
Health Savings Account (HSA) with employer contributions (HDHP plans)
Flexible Spending Accounts (Medical & Dependent Care)
Employer-paid life insurance with optional supplemental coverage
Employer-paid Short-term with optional long-term disability insurance
401(k) retirement plan with company match
Paid parental leave
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Wellness stipends
Voluntary benefits (e.g., accident, critical illness)
Paid vacation and 12 holidays

This role is on-site in Lititz, Pennsylvania.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with category leaders, operations managers, Finance, and IT stakeholders to understand pain points and scope software solutions
- Design, build, test, and deploy internal tools using Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and other appropriate languages and frameworks
- Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, and similar) fluently - and handle everything they leave unfinished
- Build integrations with TAIT's ERP system and other business platforms via APIs, direct database connections, or available SDKs
- Partner with IT to ensure tools meet TAIT's security, access control, and infrastructure standards before deployment
- Own the full lifecycle of tools you build: scoping, prototyping, deployment, documentation, user onboarding, and iteration
- Identify new automation opportunities proactively - you are embedded in the team and expected to surface problems worth solving
- Maintain clean, documented codebases that can be supported, extended, or handed off over time
- Demonstrated experience building and deploying working software - tools, scripts, integrations, dashboards, or apps - using AI-assisted coding tools. We want to see what you have shipped.
- Enough coding proficiency to handle what AI tools don't finish: API wiring, environment configuration, debugging, credential management, reading unfamiliar codebases, and navigating integration failures
- Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience integrating with REST APIs - authenticating, calling endpoints, parsing responses, handling errors
- Experience deploying working software to a shared environment (a hosted app, shared script, internal server, or cloud deployment - not just local)
- Strong logical thinking and problem decomposition: you can look at a messy manual workflow and identify what the software model should look like
- Communication skills sufficient to gather requirements from non-technical stakeholders and explain what a tool does in plain language
- Experience with computer vision, multimodal AI APIs (GPT-4o Vision, Claude, Gemini), or image-based classification tools
- Experience building mobile-friendly or mobile-first web applications
- Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar) and their API or integration patterns
- Experience with open-source and locally-hosted LLMs - Ollama, Nous Research Hermes, LM Studio, or similar
- Familiarity with the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power BI, Power Apps)
- Experience with LLM orchestration tools (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar)
- Basic SQL and comfort querying structured data
- Exposure to lightweight deployment environments: Azure, AWS, Render, Railway, Docker, or similar
- Background in operations, manufacturing, logistics, or supply chain environments (helpful context, not required)
- Must be able to remain in a stationary position for extended periods of time
- Must be able to operate a computer and other standard office equipment
- Must be able to communicate effectively in person, by phone, and through digital channels
- Must be able to occasionally lift or move office materials up to 10 lbs
