Backend Scala Engineer (m/f/x)

At commercetools, we are:

• Engaged: We didn't become the fastest growing, highest ever valued SaaS software company in digital commerce with nearly 100% year-over-year growth by sitting on the sidelines.
• Inspired: We continually explore what's possible. As the founder of the headless commerce concept, the leader in true composable commerce, and the visionaries behind MACH® — our patented tech has radically disrupted the world of enterprise ecommerce software. And we are just getting started!
• Valued: Intelligent, resilient, passionate individuals hailing from over 50 countries across the globe, speaking over 43 languages, and collectively embracing diversity, encouraging inclusion, and fostering a culture of care.

The Opportunity:

The Product Catalog Management team enables some of the largest and more influential global brands to store and manage their inventories in our MACH SaaS platform. We own the models that store those products, the systems that expose them as REST APIs to the world, and the backoffice management tools.

Ensuring that our systems fit the needs of our customers, consume resources responsibly, and can scale to accommodate absurd traffic spikes are very hard and very interesting problems, and we’re looking for your help to solve them! 

We are a remote first team of enthusiastic and experienced Software Engineers, agile and international. If you’d like to contribute to one of the most innovative eCommerce platforms the world has seen, and you have a passion for tech, clean code and understanding the big picture, commercetools is the place for you!

Your Mission:

• Design, implement and extend our PaaS eCommerce backend in Scala, as well as our core infrastructure components like database mappings and web service APIs
• Develop a scalable and multi-tenant architecture, allowing our customers to efficiently manage thousand of products variants
• Test software components regarding usability, functionality and performance, and work closely with Product Management
• Participate and contribute to the team’s roadmap, technical decisions and planning, both by producing quality proposals, giving meaningful feedback and driving alignment
• Take part in on-call rotation (with the worldwide distributed team) for production systems

What you need to succeed:

• 3+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer, developing server-side systems using the JVM
