Job Description

Solteq Commerce

At Solteq, we help companies grow through smart, scalable, and human‑centric commerce solutions. Now we're looking for a Senior Backend Architect who enjoys shaping architecture and staying close to the code. Someone who thrives on collaboration, appreciates clarity, and wants to make an impact in real-world commerce environments.

Why join us?

At Solteq you’ll be part of a supportive, skilled, and friendly community. We value curiosity, trust, open dialogue, and space for different perspectives. You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues and customers, help define best practices, and contribute to solutions that genuinely matter.

Your role

As a Senior Backend Architect, you will design and build backend solutions for complex, modern commerce platforms. You’ll work directly with customers and cross-functional Solteq teams - turning business needs into API‑first, microservices‑based architectures that are scalable, robust, and long‑lasting.

This role combines architectural leadership with hands‑on development, giving you the space to influence direction while staying connected to implementation.

What you'll do

• Design and build headless, API‑first commerce backends

• Develop modular services in containerized cloud environments

• Implement integrations and event‑driven workflows across commerce ecosystems

• Take ownership of backend architecture, quality, and scalability

• Work directly with customers to refine requirements and shape solutions

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and continuous delivery practices

• Support and guide colleagues as a trusted technical voice

• Help shape how we build future‑ready commerce solutions

What we're looking for

You are skilled, curious, and comfortable taking technical ownership—while also valuing teamwork, inclusion, and open communication.

Your experience includes:

• 5+ years in eCommerce or backend development

• Strong expertise in Java (TypeScript experience is a plus)

• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, REST APIs, and integrations

• Knowledge of microservices, event‑driven systems, and headless architectures

• Solid experience working in Agile teams and owning technical decisions

• CI/CD practices and automated testing (TDD is a plus)

• Experience with AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot)

• Confidence engaging with customers and presenting technical solutions

Bonus points for...

These are nice to have, not must‑haves - we know great candidates come with diverse backgrounds.

• Balancing long-term architectural ownership with pragmatic delivery

• Experience working cross‑functionally or in distributed teams

• Danish and/or Norwegian language skills

• Production monitoring and observability: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry

• Designing secure APIs, auth flows (OAuth2, JWT, SSO)

• Familiarity with AWS services: SQS, SNS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda

Who you are

You might be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy working collaboratively and value diverse viewpoints

• Feel energized by solving complex problems with clarity and structure

• Appreciate a culture where trust, respect, and balance matter

• Want to grow while helping others grow with you

Interested?

We’d love to hear from you. If you’re unsure whether you meet every single requirement, please apply anyway - several studies show that women and underrepresented groups often apply only when they meet all criteria. At Solteq, we hire for potential as much as experience.
