Backend Engineer - Node.js / eCommerce
Manchester | £55,000 - £70,000 + bonus
4 days on site per week
I'm working with a rapidly growing online retail business looking for a backend-focused Node.js Engineer to help build the systems and integrations behind a high-volume eCommerce operation. This isn't a front-end JavaScript role.
About the Role
The focus is on the technology that sits behind the storefront: APIs, order flows, third-party integrations, logistics, fulfilment, payments, CRM/ERP and the wider systems required to run and scale an eCommerce business.
You'll be working primarily with Node.js / TypeScript, building backend services and integrations and helping improve the architecture as the business continues to grow.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Ideal Candidate
You'll ideally have:
- Strong commercial Node.js / TypeScript backend experience
- Experience designing and building APIs and system integrations
- Experience working within eCommerce, retail or another high-volume transactional environment
- AWS / serverless experience
- Experience integrating third-party platforms and operational systems
- Strong understanding of databases and data flows
- Experience with Shopify / Shopify Plus would be a major advantage, particularly if you've worked on backend integrations rather than purely themes and storefront development.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Preferred Experience
I'd also be particularly interested in experience integrating eCommerce platforms with:
- OMS / warehouse / fulfilment systems
- Courier and logistics platforms
- ERP / CRM platforms
- Payment providers
- Inventory systems
You don't need to be a Shopify specialist. The priority is strong backend engineering, with eCommerce domain knowledge being the differentiator.
If you're a backend Node.js engineer who understands what happens behind the checkout, I'd be keen to hear from you.
