Head of Enterprise Development
Los Angeles, CA
Full-Time / On-Site
We are seeking a hands-on technology leader to serve as Head of Enterprise Development, owning engineering delivery for Aperium's enterprise business line. You will architect and deliver AI-powered workflows on top of customer ERP, PLM, CRM, CLM, and HRIS systems using the Aperium platform, grounded in a shared enterprise ontology that gives agents a consistent, governed model of parts, BOMs, orders, suppliers, and contracts across systems. The role requires a strong foundation in Python, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL, deep expertise in manufacturing ERP/MRP systems, and fluency with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agentic AI development.
About Aperium AI
Aperium AI builds the orchestration layer for enterprise and defense AI. Our platform connects frontier AI models to the systems where real work happens — ERP, PLM, CRM, CLM, and healthcare platforms — through hundreds of production-grade integrations, a self-learning agent pipeline, and a memory architecture designed for high-stakes environments. Across our enterprise, defense, and AI-native business lines, we serve customers ranging from Fortune-scale enterprises to government and allied defense organizations, with teams in the United States, Vietnam, and Kyiv.
AI Automation & Ontology
- Define and execute the roadmap for AI automation on ERP/MRP and adjacent enterprise systems; lead hands-on development in Python, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL/BigQuery on GCP and AWS
- Architect and implement MCP servers and integrations that let AI agents act safely and reliably inside customer enterprise systems
- Own the enterprise ontology: model entities, relationships, and business rules across ERP, PLM, CRM, and CLM so agents reason over one governed representation rather than system-specific schemas, with lineage, provenance, and entity resolution built in
- Champion AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Codex, Augment Code) and establish CI/CD and DevOps practices for multi-tenant, customer-dedicated, and airgapped deployments
ERP/MRP Manufacturing Systems & Integration
- Deliver AI automation layers on manufacturing ERP (Odoo) covering MRP planning, BOM explosion and management, work order scheduling, and inventory optimization
- Develop AI-powered procurement automation: demand forecasting, supplier selection, and purchase order generation
- Integrate PLM with ERP for engineering change management, revision control, and manufacturing data synchronization; connect CRM and CLM for demand-driven planning and contract-aware fulfillment
- Partner with customer Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, and Operations stakeholders to deliver scalable, repeatable solutions that meet operations and compliance needs
Team Leadership & Operational Excellence
- Build and lead a high-performing enterprise engineering team across Aperium's United States, Vietnam, and Kyiv locations; mentor technical leaders and grow talent
- Own technical relationships with enterprise customers and partners from architecture review through production rollout, and prioritize work with product, customer success, and the defense and AI-native business lines
- Establish KPIs for automation impact, platform uptime, technical debt reduction, and delivery, and convert one-off customer solutions into reusable platform and ontology capabilities
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; 10+ years of progressive software engineering experience with a hands-on background
- Proven expertise in Python, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, and modern software architecture
- Deep expertise in manufacturing ERP/MRP including production planning, work orders, BOM management, inventory control, and procurement. Odoo ERP required
- Experience designing ontologies, knowledge graphs, or canonical data models spanning multiple enterprise systems; strong understanding of PLM, CRM, CLM, and HRIS ecosystems
- Expert knowledge of AI/ML, LLMs, MCP, and agentic AI development workflows
- Experience in regulated industries (ITAR, FedRAMP, DFARS, DCAA) or aerospace/defense manufacturing strongly preferred; experience leading distributed onshore and offshore teams
Key Competencies
- Strategic Vision: Shapes long-term enterprise AI automation strategy and aligns it with customer and company outcomes
- Technical Mastery: Deep hands-on command of software engineering, AI/ML systems, ontology design, and ERP/MRP manufacturing systems
- Execution Excellence: Track record of delivering high-impact, cross-functional AI projects on time and within budget
- People Leadership: Builds high-trust environments and grows talent across geographies
- Innovation-Driven: Passion for leveraging AI, MCP, and automation to transform manufacturing enterprise operations
This role offers the chance to define how frontier AI systems operate inside the enterprise systems that run real manufacturing businesses. If you are driven to build trustworthy, production-grade automation for consequential work and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments, we would love to hear from you.
