About The Role

Backcountry is looking for a senior engineer to own the architecture and development of our ecommerce fulfillment systems — the backbone of how orders move from purchase to doorstep. These systems integrate with enterprise-scale ERP platforms and require deep expertise in distributed architecture, cloud infrastructure, and modern engineering practices.

As Senior Software Engineer, Ecommerce Fulfillment, you will drive technical direction across fulfillment, leverage AI toolsets to accelerate delivery, and partner with Product and Engineering leadership to ship scalable features that directly elevate business value. Within your first 6–12 months, you will have delivered measurable improvements to system reliability, reduced technical debt in legacy components, and established patterns for AI-augmented development across the team.

This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.

What You'll Do

• Drive architecture design, hands-on development, testing, deployment, documentation, and production support for ecommerce fulfillment systems.

• Leverage AI toolsets to improve engineering delivery throughput, quality, and reliability. Share and evolve AI capabilities with other developers and teams, raising the bar for AI use across the organization.

• Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to deliver scalable, user-focused features that elevate business value.

• Champion modern engineering practices including clean architecture, unit testing, automation, performance optimization, and observability.

• Drive key initiatives as a technical contributor, breaking down large projects into manageable delivery chunks and clearly communicating status, roadblocks, and dependencies.

• Influence architectural direction and propose improvements that enhance system performance, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.

• Produce high-quality documentation including TRDs, diagrams, technical instructions, and onboarding materials.

• Improve reliability monitoring, alerting, and incident response for mission-critical systems.

• Identify opportunities to simplify legacy components, reduce technical debt, and deliver long-term efficiency gains.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on skill with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience with AWS or GCP and cloud-first architecture.

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Strong problem-solving ability and the capacity to think creatively and strategically.
