Job description

At Inriver, we help brands deliver better product experiences — wherever their customers are. From the first product detail to the final purchase decision, we make product information work smarter.

We are now looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our engineering team.

What you’ll do

As a Senior Software Developer, you will design, develop, and deliver high-quality software that powers our product information platform. You will work across the full stack, mentor more junior engineers, and partner with product managers, designers, and QA to ship reliable features. This role expects strong technical ownership, pragmatic decision-making, and a focus on scalable, maintainable solutions.

Technical ownership & development

• Lead the design and implementation of new features and services, from requirements through to production.
• Write clean, testable, and well-documented code following team standards and best practices.
• Drive architectural discussions and propose pragmatic improvements to performance, scalability, and reliability.

Collaboration & delivery

• Partner with Product and Design to translate customer needs into robust technical solutions and clear implementation plans.
• Participate in sprint planning, code reviews, and estimation; help the team deliver predictable outcomes.
• Mentor and coach engineers — provide constructive feedback, share knowledge, and help grow technical competence across the team.

Quality, observability & operations

• Own the quality of the code you and your team ship: design automated tests, monitoring, and alerting to ensure production health.
• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve production incidents; participate in on-call rotation when required.
• Drive continuous improvement in CI/CD pipelines, deployment practices, and rollback strategies.

What you’ll bring

We don’t expect you to tick every box — but you’ll thrive here if you have many of the below:

• Proven experience (typically 5+ years) building and shipping production software in a commercial environment.
• Strong programming skills in one or more modern languages (for example Java, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Go) and familiarity with the relevant ecosystems and tooling.
• Demonstrable experience with web service architectures (RESTful APIs, GraphQL) and distributed systems principles.
• Experience with cloud platforms (for example AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and containerisation technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Solid understanding of data modelling, databases (relational and/or NoSQL), and performance optimisation techniques.
• Practical experience writing automated tests, and working with CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git).
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills; comfortable working with logs, traces, and metrics to diagnose issues.
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication in English; able to explain technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A collaborative mindset with a focus on mentorship, knowledge sharing, and improving team practices.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience — or a track record that demonstrates the skills above.

Nice to have

• Experience with product information management (PIM) systems, e‑commerce platforms, or related domains.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, message brokers, and streaming platforms.
• Experience contributing to open-source projects or technical communities.

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a distributed, cross-functional engineering organisation that values autonomy, quality, and continuous improvement. We offer opportunities to grow technically and influence the product roadmap while working on systems that help customers deliver exceptional product experiences.
