Job description

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to modernize a large SAP Commerce Cloud platform through AI-assisted engineering, context engineering, and durable workflow orchestration.

About the Role

A central responsibility of this role is designing business processes that remain reliable across service failures, deployments, retries, and long execution periods. The engineer should understand Temporal-style programming models and be able to apply the same principles using Temporal, Cadence, Azure Durable Functions, Conductor, or a comparable platform. This is a hands-on engineering role-not an AI strategy or prompt-engineering position.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and support SAP Commerce Cloud using Java, Spring, OCC, and REST APIs.
• Design durable workflows for cart, order, inventory, and recovery processes using Temporal or comparable platforms.
• Build workflows supporting retries, idempotency, failure recovery, compensation, versioning, and operational visibility.
• Integrate workflows with SAP Commerce, Kafka, databases, APIs, and external services.
• Develop automated testing for workflows, integrations, and failure scenarios.
• Apply AI coding and context-engineering tools to development, testing, documentation, and incident response.
• Troubleshoot SAP Commerce performance and production issues.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of software engineering experience delivering distributed production systems.
• 5+ years of SAP Commerce Cloud/Hybris experience or similar enterprise commerce platform development.
• 5+ years of Java and Spring development experience.
• Hands-on experience with Temporal, Cadence, Azure Durable Functions, AWS Step Functions, Conductor, or similar workflow technology.
• Strong understanding of workflow orchestration, retries, idempotency, event-driven systems, and failure recovery.
• Kafka or comparable messaging experience.
• Experience using AI coding assistants or agentic engineering tools.
• Strong testing, debugging, performance analysis, and production support skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• SAP Commerce 2211, Java 21, and Spring 6 experience.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Azure, OpenTelemetry, or Dynatrace.
• Experience building AI agents, MCP integrations, or retrieval-augmented development systems.
