Software Engineer II

Welcome to the Agentic Commerce Era

At Commerce, our mission is to empower businesses to innovate, grow, and thrive with our open, AI-driven commerce ecosystem. As the parent company of BigCommerce, Feedonomics, and Makeswift, we connect the tools and systems that power growth, enabling businesses to unlock the full potential of their data, deliver seamless and personalized experiences across every channel, and adapt swiftly to an ever-changing market. We believe in harnessing AI responsibly to unlock new possibilities, and we’re looking for individuals who use it intentionally to solve problems, accelerate outcomes, and expand what’s possible in their role. Our purpose is to help businesses confidently solve complex commerce challenges so they can build smarter, adapt faster, and grow on their own terms. If you want to be part of a team of bold builders, sharp thinkers, and technical trailblazers who shape the future of commerce, this is the place for you.

We are looking for a Software Engineer II, backend-oriented, to join our Data Experience squad. This role centers on backend services, APIs, working across data modeling, SQL, event and integration flows, and product-facing workflows. You're building backend and data-informed features that power product experience.

You should be comfortable taking a reasonably scoped business or customer problem, breaking it down, surfacing trade-offs, and shipping a reliable solution, and know when to loop in a senior engineer or escalate as scope or risk grows. We're looking for someone who raises their own bar quickly and is building toward needing less direction over time.

• Design and build reliable backend services and APIs that power product workflows.
• Work with data models, SQL, and event-driven flows to support product and backend features.
• Work with UI surfaces when needed to deliver end-to-end solutions, without owning frontend architecture.
• Break down well-scoped problems into concrete technical plans, partnering with senior engineers on more ambiguous ones.
• Contribute to production health (monitoring, alerting, logging, debugging, and runbooks) for the systems you build.
• Work with product, design, infrastructure, support, and other engineering teams.
• Improve quality through tests, code review, observability, and simpler designs.
• Use data and production evidence to validate decisions.
• Participate in incident response and troubleshooting when systems don't behave as expected, escalating and collaborating as needed.
