Odoo Team Lead

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Odoo Team Lead to head the design, development, customization, and implementation of Odoo ERP solutions. The ideal candidate will combine strong hands-on Odoo development expertise with team leadership skills — guiding a team of developers, managing client requirements, and ensuring the timely and quality delivery of Odoo modules and implementations.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

• Lead the design, development, customization, and deployment of Odoo modules (both standard and custom) across various business functions (Sales, Inventory, HR, Accounting, Manufacturing, etc.).
• Review code, ensure adherence to Odoo development best practices, and maintain overall code quality and architecture standards.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to the development team, resolving complex technical issues and blockers.
• Oversee Odoo version upgrades, migrations, and integrations with third-party systems (APIs, payment gateways, etc.).
• Analyze business requirements and recommend the optimal technical solution by evaluating standard Odoo features, configurations, and framework capabilities before proposing custom development, ensuring scalable, maintainable, and upgrade-compatible implementations.

Project & Team Management

• Plan, allocate, and monitor tasks across the team to ensure timely delivery of projects/sprints.
• Coordinate with project managers, business analysts, and clients to understand requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
• Conduct code reviews, sprint planning, and stand-ups; track progress against timelines.
• Manage team performance, provide feedback, and support the professional growth of team members.

Client & Stakeholder Coordination

• Act as the primary technical point of contact for client discussions related to Odoo implementation and customization.
• Provide effort estimation, technical feasibility inputs, and solution recommendations for new requirements.
• Ensure clear communication of project status, risks, and timelines to stakeholders.

Quality & Documentation

• Ensure proper testing (unit/functional) of developed modules before deployment.
• Maintain technical documentation for custom modules, configurations, and integrations.
• Establish and enforce coding standards, version control practices, and deployment processes within the team.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in Odoo development (across versions), with at least 1–2 years in a lead/senior role.
• Proven experience delivering end-to-end Odoo implementations (not just module-level customization).

• Odoo Framework (ORM, Views, Workflows) — strong command over Odoo's Python-based framework, custom module development, and inheritance patterns.
• Python — strong proficiency, since Odoo's backend is Python-based.
• PostgreSQL — solid understanding of database design, query optimization, and Odoo's ORM-to-DB mapping.
• XML / QWeb — for views, reports, and website templates.
• JavaScript / OWL Framework — for front-end customizations in newer Odoo versions.
• REST/XML-RPC APIs — for third-party integrations (payment gateways, logistics, CRM tools, etc.).
• Git / Version Control — branching strategies, code review workflows.
• Docker / Deployment & Server Management — for handling Odoo deployment, staging, and production environments (Linux server basics, Odoo.sh or on-premise hosting knowledge is a plus).
• Odoo Modules Expertise — depending on business focus: Sales, Inventory, Accounting, Manufacturing, HR, or eCommerce modules.

• Strong communication skills — able to translate business requirements into technical solutions and explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Team management and mentoring capability.
• Problem-solving mindset with the ability to make sound technical decisions under time constraints.
• Client-facing confidence and ownership of deliverables.
