Project - the aim you'll have

We are seeking a highly autonomous engineer with a "Platform Engineering" mindset to take broad ownership of system-wide improvement. This project focuses on strengthening the core systems of a sophisticated, AI-powered product.

  • Experience with marketplace integrations (Amazon SP-API, Walmart Marketplace API)
  • Background in promotional products, print-on-demand, or B2B e-commerce

  • Own sprint planning, backlog refinement, and capacity management in Jira in close coordination with the client's Product and Delivery teams
  • Drive architectural decisions across core backend services: Identity & Auth, Order Management, Pricing, Inventory, Catalog, and Notifications
  • Define and enforce engineering standards: code reviews, branching strategy, CI/CD pipelines, and testing coverage (xUnit, BDD/Reqnroll)
  • Partner with the client's Project Manager and architects to align technical scope with POC, MVP, and full-launch phase boundaries
  • Coordinate with the Shopify/Hydrogen front-end team and third-party vendors to ensure clean API contracts and integration points
  • Navigate brownfield complexity — assess existing legacy systems, support migration planning, and ensure backward compatibility where required
  • Proactively identify, surface, and mitigate delivery risks, dependencies, and blockers
  • Participate in client-facing stand-ups, sprint reviews, and technical design sessions
  • Ensure environment parity and observability across Dev, QA, Integration, Staging, and Production (AWS-hosted)
