About the Role
Condé Nast's commerce team builds the technology behind product discovery, personalized shopping, and checkout experiences across our portfolio of brands. We're looking for a Software Engineer III to help design and scale backend systems that power commerce initiatives, including styling and product recommendations, catalog, inventory, and order infrastructure, built to serve multiple brands, not just one. You'll work closely with product managers and engineers across the org to build systems that are fast, reliable, and designed for reuse and scale across Condé Nast's diverse editorial and commerce properties.
Responsibilities
- Design and build services spanning multiple commerce initiatives, including product catalog and inventory systems, retail partner integrations, styling and recommendation features, and checkout infrastructure, with an eye toward reusability across our brands.
- Work closely with product managers to translate business goals into technical designs.
- Collaborate with frontend and other backend engineers to ship features end to end.
- Make architectural calls that balance speed of iteration with the reliability commerce demands.
- Consider how a given system might need to flex for a different brand's catalog structure, traffic pattern, or editorial workflow.
- Participate in code reviews and design discussions.
- Mentor other engineers to help raise the technical bar across the team.
- Optimize a product-matching query for styling recommendations.
- Harden a retail partner integration.
Requirements
- 6+ years building production backend systems, ideally with some exposure to e-commerce, retail, or content-commerce platforms
- Deep proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript/JavaScript, with a track record of designing services that hold up under real user traffic, including seasonal or campaign-driven spikes
- Experience building and evolving REST and GraphQL APIs that serve both internal teams (editorial, styling, merchandising) and external partners (retail affiliates, payment providers, product data feeds)
- Comfort designing event-driven systems (Kafka, SQS, EventBridge) for things like inventory sync, price updates, order status, and affiliate commerce events
- Strong database design instincts across relational and NoSQL systems (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB)
- Experience designing systems with multi-tenancy or configurability in mind: building once and adapting across different use cases, teams, or brands, rather than one-off solutions
- Basic fluency in React, enough to collaborate closely with frontend engineers building shoppable articles, styling widgets, and product carousels
- Solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design, applied pragmatically rather than academically
- Comfortable owning the full development lifecycle, from version control and code review to automated testing and CI/CD deployment.
- A collaborative streak: you'll be pairing with product, editorial, and design stakeholders across multiple brands, each with its own voice and priorities
- AI-native mindset. Use AI tools as part of your everyday workflow, and look for opportunities to apply AI to solve real engineering and product problems, not just to write code faster.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 6+ years of professional backend software development experience required.
