Senior ERP development talent and rates in Insurance
Senior ERP development engineers serving insurance run roughly $140–$210/hr. Stack realities for this combination: Guidewire / Duck Creek + Verisk + LexisNexis + Stripe ACH — common integrations: Guidewire / Duck Creek policy admin, Verisk + LexisNexis underwriting data, CCC + Mitchell auto-claims data. Multi-tenant agency management; carrier-feed normalization; commission accounting
What ERP development actually requires in 2026
2026 ERP customization: SAP ABAP/Fiori, NetSuite SuiteScript 2.1, Microsoft Dynamics F&O extensions, Oracle Cloud ERP Configuration. Greenfield: Postgres + Node/.NET, OpenAPI, integrations to Stripe + Avalara + warehouse tools (3PL Central, ShipBob APIs). ERP consultants specialize narrowly — a NetSuite expert cannot ship SAP work. The market for senior ERP architects is small and consulting-firm-dominated (Deloitte, Accenture, EY); independent senior ERP work commands premium rates.
