Job description

We're looking for a skilled Senior Software Engineer wiKotlintrong frontend background to become part of our Enterprise Services team. The team's central purpose is to generate value throughout our end-to-end eCommerce platform, encompassing Storefront, Catalog Management, Fulfillment, and our Data Platform, through well-crafted APIs, backend services, and the admin tools that manage them.

In this role, you'll be responsible for the web experiences layered on top of that platform: the customer-facing storefront as well as the internal admin interfaces our operators depend on every day. This position leans toward frontend but isn't exclusively frontend. We expect you to carry a feature all the way through, venturing into the Node.js/TypeScript services that support it instead of halting at the API boundary—and sometimes into minor updates within our native iOS or Android apps, where AI-assisted tooling makes this achievable without being a mobile expert. We wholeheartedly support AI-assisted development tools and anticipate engineers to utilize tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to expedite development, enhance code quality, and operate more efficiently.

What You’ll Do:

• Create and take ownership of customer-facing storefront experiences and internal admin interfaces with React and TypeScript
• Exhibit a keen sense for user experience, safeguarding usability while containing complexity
• Craft component APIs and shared UI patterns that fellow engineers can extend
• Venture down the stack into our Node.js/TypeScript services-REST and GraphQL-when a feature demands it
• Engage in technical design and architecture conversations for new features and services
• Assume responsibility for the performance and accessibility of your deliverables: bundle size, rendering performance, and Core Web Vitals
• Coordinate with product teams in domain-driven, cross-functional squads
• Work alongside engineers throughout the team via pairing, code reviews, and knowledge-sharing-assisting in elevating everyone's standards
• Produce clear, maintainable documentation to aid team knowledge-sharing
• Manage production issues from beginning to end, including involvement in on-call rotations

Requirements:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a proven history of owning products delivered to production
• Established ability to see projects through end-to-end while working with other engineers- either formally as a tech lead or informally as a senior IC
• Degree in Computer Science or a related discipline
• Proven capacity to operate across the stack: at ease within a Node.js service, reading and writing API code rather than merely consuming it
• Experience crafting REST and/or GraphQL contracts, not simply calling them
• Firm grasp of performance optimization basics: indexing, data structures, memory usage, and async vs. sync execution
• Strong dedication to testing—experience authoring unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
• A discerning eye for UI quality—you detect when something feels wrong and correct it without being prompted
• Authentic curiosity about unfamiliar codebases, and ease with using AI tooling to become productive in them swiftly

Nice-to-Haves:

• Previous experience with eCommerce platforms or marketplace systems
• Experience with design systems or component libraries shared across multiple applications
• Experience using LLM APIs and agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, the Vercel AI SDK)
• Experience with distributed systems (e.g., microservices, event-driven architecture)
• Fundamental DevOps and infrastructure experience-familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, or comparable tooling
• Experience with observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, Cloud Monitoring)
• Any exposure to native mobile development-Swift/iOS or Kotlin/Android
