What you’ll need:

• 4+ years of hands-on experience throughout the web development stack and/or backend stacks.
• Experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, GraphQL, and other web technologies for building web apps and APIs.
• Expertise in server-side development using NodeJS, ORMs, and relational databases.
• Experience developing, debugging, and maintaining code in a large-scale environment with multiple modern programming and database querying languages.
• Great communication skills.
• Self-driven and solutions-oriented, able to collaborate cross-team in a globally distributed organization.

It’d be really cool if you also have:

• Experience with building low-latency web applications.
• A deep understanding of the eCommerce Platforms domain.
• Experience in building cartridges for platforms like Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify, Magento or Commercetools.
• Seen or designed high-scale, robust architectures that process multiple tenants.
