Software Development Engineer II - Catalogue & Integrations Platform

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
