Application Developer, Core Applications

Position Overview

Holley is building a modern, high-impact internal IT function—and we’re looking for an experienced Application Developer, Core Applications (Infor) who thrives on solving problems, improving user experience, and supporting the ERP (Syteline) that keeps the business running.

The Application Developer, Core Applications develops and supports business applications used across Holley, with a primary focus on the on-premises Infor SyteLine 9 ERP platform and its Microsoft SQL Server database. The role combines application support, technical analysis, and hands-on SQL development to deliver reliable solutions for manufacturing, distribution, finance, customer service, and other business functions.

This developer works directly with business stakeholders and the Core Applications team to translate requirements into maintainable technical solutions. The position also works closely with Data Engineering and the Database Administrator to support data integration, data quality, query performance, database standards, and controlled production deployments.

As Holley transitions from SyteLine to Infor LN, this role will help maintain the stability of the current ERP environment, preserve critical business logic, and support data analysis, conversion, validation, and migration activities.

Role Purpose

The Application Developer, Core Applications (Infor) translates approved business and functional requirements into reliable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions. The role designs, develops, tests, documents, and supports SQL code, SyteLine 9 customizations, reports, interfaces, background processes, and related application components. The developer maintains traceability from the original business requirement through solution design, development, testing, deployment, validation, and ongoing support.

The role also improves the stability, performance, and supportability of Holley’s core applications by applying development standards, participating in peer reviews, identifying technical and data-related risks early, and ensuring that delivered solutions remain aligned with business requirements. The developer works closely with Core Applications, Data Engineering, and the Database Administrator to support data integrity, query performance, integrations, controlled production deployments, and Holley’s transition from SyteLine to Infor LN.

• Provide SyteLine data-model knowledge and business context for integrations, reporting, analytics, and migration work.

• Partner with the database administrator on database design, indexing, security, performance tuning, deployment planning, maintenance considerations, and recovery requirements.

• Help diagnose issues that cross application, integration, and database boundaries, and coordinate ownership through resolution.

• Support data conversion and validation activities associated with the transition from SyteLine to Infor LN.

Business Partnership and Application Support

• Partner with business users to understand workflows, operational pain points, priorities, and expected outcomes.

• Provide timely application support, communicate clearly during incidents, and meet established service-level expectations.

• Translate technical findings into practical explanations for users, support teams, and leadership.

• Create and maintain solution designs, support procedures, runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and knowledge articles.

• Train users and support personnel on new features, process changes, and appropriate system use.

Development Lifecycle and Change Management

• Follow Holley standards for requirements, solution design, development, peer review, testing, user acceptance, deployment, validation, and rollback.

• Develop and test changes in the appropriate non-production environment before requesting production implementation.

• Prepare complete change records with business justification, testing evidence, implementation steps, validation criteria, risk assessment, and rollback instructions.

• Support technical reviews with Core Applications, Data Engineering, the database administrator, Infrastructure, Security, and other teams as appropriate.

• Participate in Incident, Problem, and Change Management practices and perform root-cause analysis for recurring or high-impact issues.

Required Qualifications

• Seven or more years of experience in application development, ERP support, database development, systems analysis, or a related technical role.

• Hands-on experience supporting and developing solutions for Infor SyteLine 9 or SyteLine 10 in a production environment.

• Advanced Microsoft SQL Server and SQL skills, including complex queries, joins, views, stored procedures, functions, transactions, and error handling.

• Experience troubleshooting query performance, execution plans, blocking, deadlocks, and data-integrity issues.

• Experience with ERP integrations, customizations, reporting, background processing, and production support.

• Working knowledge of manufacturing and distribution processes and their supporting ERP data.

• Experience applying software development lifecycle, source control, testing, documentation, and change-management practices.
