Service Enablement Team - Backend Engineer (m/f/d)

Shopware is a leading ecommerce system that enables companies worldwide to scale quickly and efficiently in digital commerce. As a trendsetting open source solution, Shopware is already used by some of the largest European brands, retailers, and manufacturers in the B2C and B2B industries.

We’re building a new enablement team, which will be responsible for our Shopware Pulse product area, encompassing everything related to managing subscriptions, payments, and overages for our Shopware Services.

As a Backend Engineer, you’ll own critical service-to-service infrastructure, data pipelines, and APIs that power both internal operations and merchant-facing capabilities. This role is ideal for engineers who are passionate about scalable distributed systems, API-driven architectures, and cloud-native solutions, with an interest in growing their skill set toward full-stack development.

No matter where you work, you are an integral part of the team. Therefore, we are looking for a Backend Engineer (m/f/d) for the Service Enablement Team throughout Germany/Europe!

These are your tasks:

• Design, build, and evolve Go-based gRPC services, including OAuth flows, integrations, and caching strategies
• Build and operate the service backends in TypeScript/Node.js (e.g., Hono), including internal and merchant APIs, background workers, and scheduled jobs
• Shape contract-first APIs (Protobuf/OpenAPI), versioning strategies, and safe rollouts across multiple consumer services
• Own data reliability and consistency across Redis caches, MySQL persistence, and asynchronous job queues (SQS)
• Implement security and multi-tenant access patterns (M2M auth, signed query params, internal auth)
• Drive observability and resilience (structured logging, metrics, tracing, retries, and backpressure)
• Collaborate with platform/infra to optimize AWS-based deployments (ECS, Terraform, CI/CD, secrets management)

This is what you’ll bring to the table:

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience in Go and/or TypeScript (Node.js)
• Solid experience working with AI-assisted coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Antigravity, with well-defined processes to ensure high-quality code generation
• Strong background in distributed systems, APIs (gRPC/REST), and service-to-service integrations
• Experience with relational databases (MySQL) and caches (Redis) at scale
• Familiarity with asynchronous processing and job queues (SQS or similar)
• Experience with Cloud (AWS), containerized deployments (Docker, ECS), and Terraform
• Clear communication, ownership mindset, and fluent English

This is what we offer you:

• Company Culture: Open culture with flat hierarchies, where individual initiative is encouraged.
• Employment Contracts: Permanent positions that offer long-term security.
• Flexibility: Flexible working hours and options for mobile work and full-remote contracts.
• Equipment: Freedom to choose your preferred work hardware.
• Onboarding: Well-structured onboarding with support from a personal "buddy."
• Work Environment: An inspiring environment with dedicated colleagues and a dynamic community.
• Development Opportunities: Diverse opportunities for personal growth and development.
• Additional Benefits: Attractive perks such as company pension plans, health programs, and regular team events.
