Enable consistent, high-quality data across commerce systems
Improve reliability, extensibility, and long-term platform leverage

Customer-facing experiences are owned by Cimpress businesses; your focus will be on core backend commerce services and platform capabilities.
Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs for cart and order lifecycle management
Build cloud-native, distributed systems with a focus on scalability, reliability, and data integrity
Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and partner teams to translate business needs into well-designed technical solutions
Take ownership of features from design through production, including operational readiness
Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making
Troubleshoot production issues and continuously improve system resilience and performance
Contribute to automated testing and CI/CD practices
Participate in Agile ceremonies such as backlog refinement, sprint planning, and retrospectives
