Designing, building and maintaining scalable backend services and integrations supporting eCommerce platforms and internal systems Developing APIs and services using technologies such as Node.js to support data flow between internal tools, third-party platforms and customer-facing applications Owning integrations from planning through to development, deployment and ongoing maintenance Contributing to backend architecture with a focus on reliability, scalability and performance Building and maintaining serverless functions / microservices and identifying opportunities for automation and process improvement Supporting data pipelines, operational reporting and analytics workflows across the wider platform estate Working across databases and data platforms, helping to optimise data models and query performance Collaborating closely with technology, eCommerce, content and design teams to deliver reliable systems and features across the business Supporting front-end / platform changes where required, particularly within an eCommerce environment
