Senior Software Developer (Commerce, Java/Cloud)

About the role

You'll be a senior individual contributor on our SaaS commerce platform, delivering features end-to-end across the stack. You'll design, build, test, deploy, and operate high-quality microservices and front-end components with a strong emphasis on performance, security, and maintainability.

What you'll do

• Build and evolve backend services in Java (11+) with Spring Boot/Spring Cloud/Spring Security, exposing well-documented REST APIs (OpenAPI/Swagger).
• Develop UI components in Angular or React (TypeScript preferred) and contribute to PWA experiences where appropriate.
• Design cloud-native, API-first microservices that support headless commerce scenarios.
• Work with relational databases and ORM; optimize queries and data access patterns.
• Ship to AWS/Azure/GCP using Docker and Kubernetes; maintain reliable CI/CD (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Write robust automated tests (e.g., JUnit, Mockito, WireMock; exposure to Cypress/Karate/Selenium is a plus).
• Address non-functional requirements (performance, security, migration/compatibility) and apply observability best practices.
• Participate in operational readiness: deployment, monitoring/telemetry, and incident handling, in partnership with SRE (shared rotation, not a full-time ops role).
• Collaborate with product, QA, DevOps, and technical writers; contribute concise developer/customer-facing documentation.
• Mentor teammates through code reviews and knowledge sharing within the squad.

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field (required). An advanced degree is an asset.
• 7+ years of professional software development experience or a demonstrated senior-level track record building production systems.
• Deep expertise in Java/Spring microservices, REST API design, and secure, scalable architectures.
• Hands-on experience with containers, Kubernetes, and at least one major cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Proficiency with CI/CD and Git workflows.
• Solid understanding of automated testing (Pact contract testing preferred) and observability in distributed systems.
• Clear, collaborative communication; effective in agile product teams.

Nice to have

• Experience with SAP CX Commerce or similar headless/omnichannel commerce platforms (e.g., commercetools, Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus).
• Familiarity with B2B/B2C commerce concepts (payments, order management, sourcing).
• Examples of prior work you can discuss (public repos or internal projects, respecting confidentiality).

Success in your first 6 months

• Deliver two meaningful, production features with measurable quality and performance improvements.
