Job Description
This is a full-time, on-site Software Engineer II role on the Storefront team in London. The group creates the online experiences that sit behind merchants' own branded sites and apps. Work is highly visible to customers and involves meaningful technical challenges across the platform.
The role mixes hands-on engineering with wider influence. Engineers refine code organisation, help shape architecture and review code written by their team, whatever its size. They are expected to keep production systems easy to run, with a focus on visibility, readiness for operations and overall health. Some engineers lead projects, while others take ownership of larger pieces of work that reach beyond their immediate team.
Collaboration and leadership are important. The engineer forms relationships with other engineering groups, helps make design and implementation decisions, and shapes the team's plans. Taking part in hiring, running engineering interviews and supporting colleagues' development also belong to the role.
The posting explicitly says that candidates need not meet every item on its list, but experience in several of those areas is valued. Relevant areas include clean and thoroughly tested software, Go or Python, relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, architecture that handles very high request volumes, key-value and caching stores, and using software to solve logistics problems. Engineers report through managers and group leads, delivering results as a unit.
Responsibilities
- Refine code organisation and contribute to architecture decisions for the storefront platform.
- Review code produced by the team, whatever its scope.
- Make production systems simpler to maintain and operate.
- Lead projects and own larger pieces of work, including design and implementation calls.
- Forge links with other engineering teams and spot chances to collaborate.
- Take part in hiring and run engineering interviews.
- Help colleagues grow in their roles.
Qualifications
- Takes pride in code that is clean, considered and thoroughly tested.
- Working familiarity with Go or Python.
- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL or MySQL.
- Familiarity with high-traffic web architecture, around 20krpm and above.
- Exposure to NoSQL and caching stores like Redis, DynamoDB, ElasticSearch or Memcache.
- Having tackled logistics problems through software.
Core Skills
Benefits
