Chalhoub Group; United Arab Emirates; Sur place; AED 391 000 - 670 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Chalhoub Group is seeking a Senior Server-Side Swift Developer to join the Level Shoes backend team. You will design, implement and operate Vapor-based microservices powering our multilingual storefronts across GCC markets, with production ownership and load handling on sale days.

You will own end-to-end services, build RESTful APIs for accounts, authentication, catalogue, cart, checkout, payments and orders, and integrate with external systems while ensuring data integrity across markets.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software development experience, including backend services in server-side Swift (Vapor).
• Strong command of Swift concurrency, Codable and RESTful API design.
• Experience with concurrency, idempotency and production bug fixing.
• Familiarity with e-commerce domains, payments or multi-tenant systems.

Responsabilités

• Design, develop and maintain scalable backend services in Swift using Vapor.
• Own services end to end: design, implementation, code review, deployment and production health.
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs behind customer-facing commerce flows (accounts, authentication, catalogue, cart, checkout, payments and orders).
• Ensure correctness across multiple stores and languages, scoped to a market and locale.
• Integrate with third-party systems (commerce platform, order management, search, CMS, payment/BNPL gateways).
• Build concurrency-safe, idempotent processing across multiple service replicas.
• Model data and optimize queries in MongoDB; implement caching and session strategies in Redis.
• Implement and tune ElasticSearch-backed search and listing functionality.
• Ship feature-flagged behaviour with staged rollouts; investigate production issues from logs and metrics.
• Maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows on Kubernetes.
• Explore AI-driven capabilities such as vector search for personalization.
• Review teammates changes; all code is reviewed before merge regardless of seniority.

Description du poste

We are looking for a Server-Side Swift Developer to join the backend team at Level Shoes. The team builds and operates the Vapor-based microservices that power our iOS, Android and web storefronts across six GCC markets in English and Arabic. This is a hands-on senior role with real production ownership. You will design, build, review and ship backend services, and you will be accountable for how they behave in production - including under sale-day load and when the systems we integrate with misbehave.

. Design, develop and maintain scalable backend services in Swift using Vapor.

. Own services end to end: design, implementation, code review, deployment and production health.

. Build and maintain the RESTful APIs behind customer-facing commerce flows - accounts and

authentication, catalogue, cart, checkout, payments and orders.

. Ensure correctness across multiple stores and languages, where every request is scoped to a market and a locale.

. Design and maintain integrations with third-party systems - commerce platform, order management, search, CMS, and payment/BNPL gateways - including webhook handling and safe degradation when those systems are slow or unavailable.

. Build concurrency-safe, idempotent processing for operations that run across multiple service replicas and must never be applied twice.

. Model data and optimise queries in MongoDB implement caching and session strategies in Redis.

. Implement and tune Elastic Search-backed search and listing functionality.

. Ship behaviour changes behind feature flags with staged, measured rollouts.

. Investigate production issues from logs and metrics, and validate fixes with evidence.

. Maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows on Kubernetes.

. Explore AI-driven capabilities such as vector search for personalisation.

. Review teammates changes all code is reviewed before merge regardless of seniority.

What you'll need to succeed

• 6+ years of professional software development experience, including at least 3 years building production backend services in server-side Swift (Vapor). Client-side Swift alone does not satisfy this requirement - the role requires Swift running on a server, under load, with a database behind it.

• Prior iOS/macOS or backend experience in other languages is welcome for the remaining years.

• Strong command of Swift concurrency, protocol-oriented design and Codable, including decoding payloads from external systems.

• Demonstrable experience with concurrency, race conditions and idempotency in services running as multiple instances - a specific production bug you found, diagnosed and fixed, not theoretical

• knowledge.

• Strong understanding of RESTful API design, authentication and token lifecycle.

• MongoDB in production, including data modelling, indexing and query performance.

• Redis for caching and session state, including graceful behaviour when it is unavailable.

• ElasticSearch for search and listing.

• Experience integrating payment gateways and third-party APIs, including webhook-driven flows.

• Kubernetes: deploying and operating containerised services, and reading logs and metrics to a defensible conclusion.

• Git, CI/CD pipelines and automated testing Swift Package Manager for dependency management.

• Strong grasp of performance, scalability and security best practices.

• E-commerce, payments or another domain where defects have direct financial consequences.

• Integration experience with Magento or a comparable commerce platform, or with an order management system.

• Multi-tenant or multi-region systems where data isolation is a correctness requirement.

• Localisation beyond string swapping, including right-to-left languages.

• AWS or another cloud platform for hosting backend services.

• Logging and monitoring tools such as New Relic, used for investigation rather than dashboards alone.

• Feature-flagging and progressive rollout platforms.

• Jenkins and Gerrit.

• Agile development methodologies.
