at Lime

🏢 About Lime

Lime is the world's largest shared micromobility company, operating electric scooters and bikes in nearly 30 countries and powering over one billion rides. As a Time 100 Most Influential Company, it's driving a carbon-free transportation revolution. Working here means solving unique supply chain challenges at a global scale while contributing to a sustainable future.

About This Role

As a NetSuite SCM Engineer, you'll be the technical backbone for Lime's global inventory, warehouse, and fulfillment systems. You'll build and maintain customizations and integrations using SuiteScript and middleware, ensuring that millions of Lime vehicles and parts flow efficiently to cities worldwide. This remote role (Portugal-based) puts you at the intersection of ERP engineering and green mobility.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start your day with a stand-up with the SCM engineering team, then dive into developing a SuiteScript to automate inventory adjustments for a new warehouse. Later, you might troubleshoot an integration error with a logistics partner's API, collaborate with a supply chain analyst to refine a demand planning dashboard, and document your solution for future reference. Expect a mix of independent coding, cross-functional meetings, and continuous learning about Lime's evolving operations.

🎯 Who Lime Is Looking For

  • 5+ years of NetSuite development experience with deep expertise in SuiteScript 2.x, SuiteFlow, and SuiteBuilder, specifically for inventory, WMS, and fulfillment processes.
  • Proven track record integrating NetSuite with external logistics and demand planning systems using RESTlets, APIs, and middleware like Celigo or Boomi.

  • Experience in a global, high-growth environment (e.g., manufacturing, hardware, or mobility) with distributed teams and complex inventory models.

📝 Tips for Applying to Lime

1

Highlight specific NetSuite SCM projects you've led, such as implementing WMS or optimizing inventory reconciliation—quantify results like 'reduced fulfillment errors by 20%'.

2

Emphasize your ability to work remotely and collaborate across time zones, as Lime's team is global; mention any experience with distributed Agile teams.

3

Showcase your knowledge of Lime's business model by referencing challenges like managing spare parts inventory for e-scooters or integrating with third-party logistics providers.

4

Include links to your GitHub or SuiteScript code samples (if available) to demonstrate hands-on technical prowess beyond resume bullets.

5

Address the Portugal residency requirement explicitly in your application to confirm you meet the location criteria.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your hands-on experience with NetSuite inventory and WMS modules, including specific customizations you've built (e.g., custom scripts for cycle counting or lot tracking).", "How you've integrated NetSuite with logistics or demand planning tools, and the impact on supply chain efficiency (e.g., reduced manual data entry, improved forecast accuracy).", "Your passion for sustainable transportation and how Lime's mission aligns with your career goals—be authentic and specific.", 'Your ability to independently deliver technical work while collaborating with senior engineers on architecture, as this role requires both autonomy and teamwork.']

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • → Lime's operational footprint: which cities and countries they operate in, and how their supply chain supports rapid deployment and maintenance of vehicles.
  • → Lime's tech stack: beyond NetSuite, what other systems they use (e.g., Salesforce, custom mobile apps) and how NetSuite integrates with them.
  • → Recent news about Lime's expansion, funding, or sustainability initiatives to understand current priorities and challenges.
  • → NetSuite SCM best practices for micromobility or asset-heavy industries, such as managing serialized inventory or reverse logistics.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Deep dive into SuiteScript: write a script to automate inventory transfer between warehouses or troubleshoot a fulfillment workflow issue.
2 Scenario-based question: How would you integrate NetSuite with a new 3PL provider to track real-time shipment status for Lime's operations?
3 Discuss your approach to optimizing NetSuite performance for high-volume transaction processing, given Lime's global scale.
4 Behavioral: Describe a time you had to push back on a customization request that would have compromised system stability, and how you handled it.
5 Understanding of supply chain KPIs: How would you use NetSuite data to improve inventory turnover or reduce stockouts for critical parts?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing only on generic NetSuite administration tasks (e.g., user setup, report writing) without demonstrating development and integration expertise.
  • Ignoring the global aspect: applying without showing awareness of multi-currency, multi-language, or cross-border supply chain complexities.
  • Submitting a resume that lists technologies but lacks concrete examples of how you've solved SCM problems with measurable outcomes.
