Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Platform Development: Design, develop, and own scalable backend services and integration frameworks using Java and Spring Boot.
• Integration & Connectors: Build and maintain high-reliability connectors for retailer systems (APIs, feeds, webhooks) to handle catalogue synchronisation, order placement, and tracking. 
• Data Pipelining: Develop high-performance data ingestion and processing pipelines for large-scale catalog data. 
• System Reliability Implement and own systems for robust error handling, retries, idempotency, rate limiting, and monitoring across all external integrations. 
• Real-Time Systems: Work on near-real-time systems for critical data, such as inventory, pricing, and order status updates. 
• Operational Excellence: Ensure high availability, scalability, and observability in production to drive continuous improvement, enabling faster retailer onboarding and reduced operational overhead. 

Required Skills & Experience

• Core Backend: 1+ year of professional backend development experience with strong hands-on coding skills in Java and Spring Boot.
• Architecture Proficiency in microservice architecture and a strong understanding of distributed systems concepts (fault tolerance, retries, idempotency).
• Integrations: Proven experience building or working with external integrations (APIs, webhooks, third-party systems).
• Messaging: Experience with message queues (Kafka / SQS) and asynchronous processing patterns. 
• Data: Solid understanding of relational databases and data modelling. 
• Cloud & Tools: Familiarity with AWS services, cloud-native development, and tools for monitoring, logging, and debugging production systems. 

Good to Have

•  Experience with ETL / data pipelines or large-scale catalogue systems.
•  Exposure to the e-commerce domain (catalogue, orders, inventory).
•  Experience with batch/stream processing tools (e.g., Spark).
•  Understanding of API authentication mechanisms (OAuth, API keys). 

We’re looking for a problem-solver who is excited about building scalable integration platforms, solving real-world data challenges, and working on high-impact systems.

• A fast-paced, tech-savvy startup environment where your code has real-world, measurable impact.
• End-to-end ownership of features and systems - your decisions will shape user experience and architecture.
• Close collaboration with experienced engineers, designers, and product thinkers.
• Room to grow into system-level decision making, architecture, and scale challenges.
• Best in class Compensation and Benefits.
