About the project

Our project started in 2017 as a migration project from Intershop platform to SAP Commerce. After the migration, we started feature development and also doing maintenance of the existing codebase. We recently developed features that target functionalities like the introduction of new payment methods that meet the needs specific to each country/region, storefront re-branding and performance improvements, and platform upgrades to newer features. The platform is Java-based and the implementation supports multi-country, multi-store and it is globally available (30+ countries/stores with multi-language support for each country).  

Your team

The team has been continuously growing during the past 3 years reaching a size of 40+ members, with diverse skills from Front End Developer, Back End Developer, DevOps to Testing, Project Management and Architecture. We are split into several streams using Scrum or Kanban (depending on the type of work) and we have two different release cycles:

• Weekly: for small releases addressing defects fixing and release of small features
• Every 10 weeks (increment of 5 sprints): addresses bigger functionalities that are spread through several sprints

The job consist at the beginning in approx 3 months training on SAP Commerce Cloud. After graduation, you will join the development team. 

• Contribute in all phases of the commerce solution development lifecycle
• Design, build and maintain efficient, reusable and reliable code
• Write well designed, testable, efficient code
• Help maintain (preferably improve) code quality, organisation and automatisation
• Work closely with analysts, architects, testers and developers

Real impact one step at a time 

The output of your work will be constantly delivered to the end-user, which gives our client the means to constantly adjust the platform and increase system performance and the overall revenue through the online channel.

Professional opportunities

While working on the day to day tasks, there will be plenty of opportunities to improve both your technical skills (by having the opportunity to work on different parts of the platform) and your soft skills (by taking part in requirements clarifications, demos, defining and discussing MVP proposals for bigger functionalities, etc.). As the team is working on different streams (mini-teams) there is also the possibility to take responsibility for one of the streams (leading the mini-team).
