The Opportunity:

Would you like to work with enthusiastic and experienced Software Engineers in a remote, agile and international environment with a modern, evolving tech-stack? Are you thrilled by getting your hands on one of the most innovative eCommerce platforms the world has seen? On top of that you work with passion, love clean code and like to understand the big picture? Sounds like commercetools is the perfect match! 

Please note that for this role, we can currently offer full-remote work for candidates based in the European Union and in the United Kingdom.

Your Mission:

We are hiring a Front End Developer to join our Customers Team and to work on the Merchant Center. The Merchant Center is an administration application for the commercetools platform, which allows our customers to manage every aspect of a commerce project.

You will work in a distributed, highly motivated, cross-functional and skilled team to bring cutting edge features of the customers domain to our customers through the Merchant Center, while also collaborating across teams to improve code and infrastructure where necessary. 

We work with a modern unified tech stack, with the main components being React, Apollo GraphQL and CSS-in-JS (to name just a few).

Together we improve our Merchant Centers adoption of our Design System, homogenise our testing strategy and extract common components to be open sourced in our User Interface Kit, Application Kit or Community Kit.

Quality is very important to us, we test software components regarding usability, functionality, and performance, relying on libraries like Jest, Cypress and react-testing-library.

To ship changes reliably and multiple times a day, we use independent applications and feature toggles, utilizing technologies such as Kubernetes, Prometheus and Sentry to observe the health of our releases.

If you like having a direct impact on the topics the team works on next, you are at the right place. Through closely collaborating with our product manager, UX/UI designers and giving feedback early – we are confident on working on the right thing and we own it.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to work towards your career goals, we spend a tech-day every other week on personal growth and learning, hold weekly lightning talks and do online courses together.

What you need to succeed:

We are searching for individuals who are curious about technology, diligent, kind and eager to learn and grow. Trust is at the core of our values and we trust you to do well together with us.

Searching for a Front End Developer we’d expect you to strive for clean, functional, testable code and have high standards for quality assurance, such as code review, visual regression testing and End-to-End tests. 

We expect you’d need at least two years of experience, working with JavaScript (ES2015+) and React, though your proven track record of past work is more important to us. REST APIs and GraphQL should be familiar topics for you. And exposure to different methods of testing frontends through tools such as Cypress and react-testing-library will be helpful.

We believe in radical candor and open, honest and direct feedback. Great ideas can come from anybody and we love strong opinions loosely held. You should be comfortable to work with video calls and excel in sharing ideas through written communication as you will be working in a remote first team.
