Digital Technology Lead – Core Commerce & Business Logic

Position Overview

As the Digital Technology Lead for Core Commerce, you are the technical authority for our transaction engine and integration backbone. You will oversee the development of our Spryker Cloud Commerce OS environment, ensuring that complex B2B business logic is translated into scalable, resilient, and high-performance backend code. You are a  Systems-First Engineer  who understands that the heart of eCommerce isn't just a shopping cart—it’s a sophisticated data exchange between the Storefront, the PIM (Syndigo), and our various Dealer Management Systems (DMS).

  Own the design and implementation of Spryker  State Machines  to automate complex order-to-cash workflows, returns, and core-charge logic.
• Architectural Alignment:
  Partner with the eCommerce Digital Solutions & Platform Architect to ensure that all backend microservices and API contracts are robust and future-proof.
• Integration & Data Orchestration

• AI Productivity Mastery:
  Advanced proficiency in using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Git Hub Copilot, Cursor, or Replit Agent) to accelerate complex backend logic development and data mapping.
• Automated Logic Auditing:
  Leverage AI to generate exhaustive unit tests for edge-case commercial rules (e.g.,  What happens if a fleet customer has a split-tax exemption and a credit limit breach? ).
• Schema & Mapping Automation:
  Utilize AI agents to automate the translation of disparate DMS data formats into standardized Spryker JSON structures.

• 7+ years of professional backend development experience, with at least 3 years in a Lead or Senior capacity within a complex eCommerce or ERP/OMS environment.
• Deep, hands‑on experience with Spryker Cloud Commerce OS (or similar modular PHP-based engines like Magento Enterprise or Shopware) is highly preferred.
• Proven experience leading technical delivery in an Agile environment, with a focus on Data Integrity and System Resilience.
• Expert-level proficiency in PHP (modern versions), Postgre
  
  SQL/MySQL, and Redis/Elasticsearch.

  QL) and experience with Middleware/iPaaS strategies.
• Advanced ability to use AI‑driven coding assistants to refactor complex logic, generate technical documentation, and optimize SQL queries at 10x speed.
• Understanding of  Saga Patterns  and how to maintain data consistency across disconnected systems.
• Familiarity with the technical nuances of B2B commerce: tiered pricing, core charges, and organizational account hierarchies.
