About Us

Launched in 2019, Constructor is an AI-first ecommerce search and discovery platform that helps shoppers find the right products at the right time and enables leading global e-commerce brands to drive meaningful revenue and conversion gains.

About the Role

The Platform Solutions team builds the core internal software services that sit on top of our cloud infrastructure, serving as the high-performance backbone for all product teams. Instead of traditional infrastructure provisioning, we focus on writing custom, distributed services that abstract away complex backend challenges. Our work directly impacts platform security and reliability by handling organization-wide scale for critical capabilities like real-time bot detection, advanced rate limiting, and traffic priority control. As a Platform Engineer, you will treat the platform as a product—designing, coding, and optimizing high-throughput, low-latency services from scratch. You will collaborate with engineers across the organization to deliver resilient, code-driven solutions that protect our uptime and empower developer velocity.
