Our client is seeking a Principal Backend Engineer to help lead the transformation of a monolithic SAP Hybris system into a modern, cloud-native, and personalized commerce experience. This role blends deep backend engineering knowledge with architectural thinking, ERP integrations, and a strong product mindset.
SAP Hybris Experience is not required for this role
You will play a key part in reimagining how backend services are exposed and extended via APIs, enabling dynamic personalization and performance tuning. Working closely with cross-functional leaders, this role will influence platform design, vendor evaluations, and the long-term roadmap for a scalable, user-tailored commerce system.
Key Responsibilities
Architect scalable backend services to decouple SAP Hybris and Commerce Cloud components from monolithic patterns.
Lead decision-making around commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions vs. custom build options (e.g., evaluating tools like Bloomreach for experience layer integrations).
Define patterns and standards that enable AI-driven personalization capabilities atop an API-first commerce architecture.
Service Design & Implementation
Contribute to and review services built using Java, Node.js, or TypeScript, focusing on clean architecture and cloud-native patterns.
Support the shift to containerized services orchestrated via Kubernetes.
ERP & System Integrations
Design and implement integrations with SAP S/4HANA and other ERP systems for seamless backend commerce data flow.
Ensure integration layers follow resilient, scalable design using asynchronous patterns where appropriate.
Embed operational excellence through ITSM-aligned development (e.g., bite‑size, traceable, and auditable changes).
Promote observability, deployment hygiene, and maintainability of backend services.
Core Requirements
10+ years of backend engineering experience, with strong emphasis on
eCommerce systems .
Deep expertise in
Java
and/or
Node.js , along with
TypeScript
in backend contexts.
Solid understanding of
API gateway architecture ,
containerization , and
Kubernetes .
Ability to design and guide systems in cloud environments, with a
cloud-native mindset .
Strong knowledge of
search engines
(e.g., Solr, OpenSearch) and experience fine‑tuning relevancy models.
Familiarity with
personalization technologies , AI-driven recommendations, and user segmentation strategies.
Comfortable working with COTS vendors or building platform components in house from scratch.
