I’m working with a fast-growing online retail / eCommerce brand looking to hire a back end focused Full Stack Developer into its in-house technology team.
This role would suit a developer with a strong backend bias who enjoys working across systems, integrations and data, while still being happy to support broader full stack development where needed.
The business operates in a high-volume eCommerce environment, so this is less about building isolated features and more about developing the backend services, integrations and internal systems that keep a complex retail operation moving. Think eCommerce platforms, operational tooling, third-party integrations, data flows and automation across the wider business.
The role
You’ll be joining a growing tech team and will play a key role in building and maintaining the systems that sit behind a modern eCommerce operation.
Key areas of focus include:
- Designing, building and maintaining scalable backend services and integrations supporting eCommerce platforms and internal systems
- Developing APIs and services using technologies such as Node.js to support data flow between internal tools, third-party platforms and customer-facing applications
- Owning integrations from planning through to development, deployment and ongoing maintenance
- Contributing to backend architecture with a focus on reliability, scalability and performance
- Building and maintaining serverless functions / microservices and identifying opportunities for automation and process improvement
- Supporting data pipelines, operational reporting and analytics workflows across the wider platform estate
- Working across databases and data platforms, helping to optimise data models and query performance
- Collaborating closely with technology, eCommerce, content and design teams to deliver reliable systems and features across the business
- Supporting front-end / platform changes where required, particularly within an eCommerce environment
What they’re looking for
The ideal background will include:
- Around 3+ years’ experience in a backend or full stack engineering role
- Strong commercial experience with Node.js or similar backend technologies in production environments
- Experience designing and building APIs and integrating with third-party systems
- Exposure to serverless architectures such as AWS Lambda or similar
- Experience working with databases / data platforms such as MongoDB, PostgreSQL, BigQuery or similar
- Familiarity with CI/CD, Git and modern development workflows
- Experience building or contributing to system integrations, backend services and data pipelines
- A practical, hands-on approach and the ability to work in a fast-moving commercial environment
Nice to have
Any of the below would be beneficial, but they are not essential:
- Experience with Shopify integrations or Shopify / eCommerce platform work
- Exposure to React or other modern front-end frameworks
- Experience with internal tooling platforms such as Retool
- Knowledge of warehouse, courier, fulfilment or order management systems
- Previous experience in retail, eCommerce or other high-traffic digital environments
Package
- 5% – 10% bonus
- Additional day off for your birthday
- Flexible working around core hours
- Enhanced pension contribution
- Enhanced maternity and sick pay
- Free onsite gym
- Hybrid working with 4 days onsite
If you’re a backend-leaning full stack engineer who enjoys working on integrations, internal systems, data flows and the operational engine behind a growing eCommerce business, I’d be happy to talk you through the role.
