Backend Engineer (Platform Boosters)

Join Shopware as a Backend Engineer and take ownership of critical service-to-service infrastructure, data pipelines, and APIs. You will design, build, and evolve Go-based gRPC services, operate service backends in TypeScript/Node.js, and ensure data reliability and consistency. This role offers the flexibility of mobile working, special leave days, educational leave, and a range of other benefits.

• 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, 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.

• 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
• Clear communication, ownership mindset, and fluent English
• Experience with Cloud (AWS), containerized deployments (Docker, ECS), and Terraform
• Familiarity with asynchronous processing and job queues (SQS or similar)
• Experience with relational databases (MySQL) and caches (Redis) at scale
• 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
