Job description

The opportunity

Unity’s commerce systems power the business infrastructure behind our developer ecosystem — from licensing and subscriptions to in-editor purchases and platform integrations. At the heart of this architecture is commerce services: backend-for-frontend (BFF) services and integrations that encapsulates business logic and service orchestration for our commerce platform.

The Core Commerce Backend team plays a pivotal role in unifying frontend experiences with backend systems such as commercetools, user identity, entitlement services, and pricing logic.

We are looking for a Backend Engineer to lead architecture and implementation efforts across Bridge’s Typescript-based services. You’ll design reliable, scalable APIs and evolve our backend foundation to support a growing suite of commerce experiences.

What you'll be doing

• As a Senior Backend Engineer you will be expected to be able to:
• Take a partially defined specification, understand the underlying requirement and problem and turn it into either a detailed specification for a less senior engineer or deliver the solution yourself.
• Work closely with business, IT partners (business analysts and project managers) and the integration team to understand and solve business problems.
• Design, implement and deliver highly scalable solutions based on modern cloud-based architectures.
• Support, optimize and automate our internal processes.
• Take ownership of problems and find solutions.

What we're looking for

• We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer who:
• 5+ years as a backend microservice engineer
• Demonstrated experience designing and developing scalable and reliable microservices.
• Proficient in TypeScript, particularly for service-layer development
• Experience in designing, implementing and executing unit tests
• Experience with some of the other technologies used by the team: SQL/NoSQL, queues, alerting
• Strong track record designing and implementing RESTful microservices
• Comfortable taking ownership of system design and architectural decisions

You might also have

• Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, etc.)
• Experience deploying and operating services in Kubernetes
• Hands-on Experience as administrator or integrator with any of Salesforce, Zuora, Commercetools or similar headless commerce platforms
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines like Github Actions
• Experience with automated testing
• Prior experience working with enterprise systems such as commerce, subscriptions, ERP, CRM or Supply Chain solutions.
• Exposure to modern API paradigms and design patterns
