Millions of products from 15,000+ retailers, brands, and distributors are being listed, sold, & delivered through CommerceHub to earn $30+ billion GMV annually. A message house, we sit in between people on all sides of E-commerce helping them do what they do better and simpler.
Why CommerceHub?
The world is seeing explosive growth in e-commerce. Virtually all retailers and brands are investing heavily in e-commerce digital services which bodes well for us. Last year COVID-19 was a catalyst that prompted a lot of retailers to increase the urgency with which they looked to improve their end to end processes from orders, inventory, delivery, etc. That translated into an amazing year for CommerceHub. Our company is strong and stable and positioned for amazing growth for the next few years.
Engineering Department Excellence
- Our department has over a hundred software engineers, but we’re organized into small teams. - This role will be focused on new development projects helping drive the future of the company built on a modern tech stack (Angular, Typescript/Node on AWS (Lambda, Kinesis, DynamoDB, etc.). - Teams “own” their products. You’re responsible for helping drive the direction and value of the product to the customer, partnering with your Product Manager and other stakeholders of course. You design, build, maintain, and support.
Process
- We conduct weekly sprints. Why? It gives us 52 opportunities per year to adjust course quickly to ensure we’re working on the right things. - Teams deploy to prod as soon as the team is ready (we are almost fully there) - We try to balance product and feature development with Engineering needs (we plan for 50% capacity in each sprint to allow for unknown complexities and time for engineers to pull their own wish-list items if the team finishes the sprint-committed work).
Who are we hiring?
- Frontend Software Engineer (Angular/TypeScript) - Fullstack Software Engineer (Angular/TypeScript/AWS) - .Net Software Engineer - Software Engineering Managers - DevOps folks

I do think that if it were to be embraced as a more common standard on websites, building a more standard UI on top should be _relatively_ simple as each websites underlying data would _hopefully_ be structured the same.
