Job description

We’re looking for engineers with 1‑3 years of experience who are ready to accelerate their growth through hands‑on work with enterprise‑level clients. At Commerce Architects, we’ve spent 16 years building complex solutions for industry‑leading companies, and we’re looking for engineers who are ready to build on their foundation while developing expertise that sets them apart.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer I (SE1), you'll implement features and contribute to the design of cloud applications that serve millions of users. You'll work autonomously on complex features, ensuring quality through strong testing practices and clear documentation. You'll collaborate with your team to deliver high‑quality solutions, adapting to different technology stacks and practices as project needs evolve. This is a full‑time position requiring approximately 40 hours per week, with flexibility to accommodate occasional additional hours during busy periods.

Your Growth Path

• Specializing in specific technologies while learning new ones
• Leading component designs and contributing to architecture
• Actively participating in client processes and technical discussions
• Supporting and mentoring junior team members
• Managing complex features independently
• Contributing to process improvements

What You'll Need

A Typical Day: As a Software Engineer I at Commerce Architects, your day begins with a team sync, where you discuss project goals and upcoming milestones. You're currently focused on implementing a new feature for a client in the retail industry, using Java and React to enhance their platform. After joining the SmashBros tournament during lunch break, you dive into coding, using your knowledge of AWS and Terraform to configure the infrastructure needed for the application. Along the way, you troubleshoot a few integration issues and coordinate with your team to push updates through the CI/CD pipeline. Later, you review code submitted by a teammate, offering feedback to ensure the quality of the project. By the end of the day, you've pushed your changes and made meaningful progress, all while balancing learning new technologies and contributing to the project's success. You step out a bit early to pick up your car from the shop, easily making up the time later, thanks to the flexible work arrangements.
