Senior Software Engineer - Commerce Platform
About this role
The opportunity
Unity’s commerce systems power the business infrastructure behind our developer ecosystem — from licensing and subscriptions to in-editor purchases and platform integrations. At the heart of this architecture is commerce services: backend-for-frontend (BFF) services and integrations that encapsulates business logic and service orchestration for our commerce platform.
The Core Commerce Backend team plays a pivotal role in unifying frontend experiences with backend systems such as commercetools, user identity, entitlement services, and pricing logic.
We are looking for a Backend Engineer to lead architecture and implementation efforts across Bridge’s Typescript-based services. You’ll design reliable, scalable APIs and evolve our backend foundation to support a growing suite of commerce experiences.

As a Senior Backend Engineer you will be expected to be able to:
Take a partially defined specification, understand the underlying requirement and problem and turn it into either a detailed specification for a less senior engineer or deliver the solution yourself.

Design, implement and deliver highly scalable solutions based on modern cloud-based architectures.
Support, optimize and automate our internal processes.
Take ownership of problems and find solutions.
