About the Role
Glass Atlas are looking for a Magento Backend Developer to join their Commerce Technology Engineering. As a Magento Backend Developer, you will work across a range of Magento/Adobe Commerce projects, primarily focusing on BAU development, maintenance, bug fixing, and technical improvements.
This is a hands-on role where you'll be expected to take ownership of problems, investigate issues, and find solutions independently. You won't be expected to know the answer to everything, but you should be comfortable working things out, asking the right questions, and getting stuck into unfamiliar problems.
Key Responsibilities
The following should give you a flavor of how you will be spending your time. It is not set in stone and it may change from week-to-week, but it gives an idea of what is expected from the role:

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
