Senior Full-Stack Engineer- Adobe Commerce (Magento)

ROLE OVERVIEW

For a large-scale, heavily customized Adobe Commerce (Magento) platform with deep integrations across ERP, OMS, PIM, CRM, subscription billing, tax, and search/marketing systems, supporting multiple product lines and subscription-based offerings. As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer on the Design & Experience team, you will own the quality, performance, and usability of the customer-facing storefront. This role blends strong frontend craftsmanship with the backend skills needed to connect new UI experiences to Adobe Commerce and its surrounding ecosystem of integrated systems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and build frontend enhancements to the Adobe Commerce storefront, improving usability, performance, accessibility, and visual consistency.

• Build and maintain connectivity between frontend experiences and backend services — Adobe Commerce APIs, middleware, and third-party integrations.

• Collaborate closely with UX/UI designers to translate wireframes and design systems into responsive, production-quality components.

• Optimize storefront performance (Core Web Vitals, page load, checkout conversion) across desktop and mobile, using caching (Redis), CDN (Fastly or similar), and search/indexing (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch) best practices.

• Implement and maintain component libraries/design systems used across the storefront, backed by solid unit and functional test coverage (TDD mindset).

• Partner with backend engineers to define clean API contracts for new frontend capabilities, and support CI/CD pipelines for frontend deployments.

• Participate in A/B testing and iterative experience improvements driven by analytics and customer feedback; mentor other engineers on frontend architecture and best practices.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience, including significant hands-on work with Adobe Commerce / Magento 2.x (Open Source or Commerce edition) in an enterprise environment.

• Strong PHP development skills, including Magento's module/plugin architecture, dependency injection, and service contracts.

• Proven experience integrating Adobe Commerce with external systems via REST/GraphQL/SOAP APIs, message queues (RabbitMQ), and webhooks.

• Solid understanding of relational databases (MySQL/MariaDB) including query optimization for high-volume catalog and order data.

• Strong commitment to Test-Driven Development (TDD) — comfortable writing and maintaining unit, integration, and functional tests (PHPUnit; MFTF familiarity a plus) as a standard part of the development workflow.

• Experience with Git, Composer, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized development (Docker) in a team setting, with solid code review discipline and adherence to Adobe Commerce coding standards.

• Familiarity with cloud-hosted Adobe Commerce environments (Adobe Commerce Cloud, AWS, or Azure), along with supporting infrastructure such as Redis caching, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, and Fastly or similar CDN.

• Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum teams — participating in sprint planning, estimation, and stand-ups, and collaborating cross-functionally with QA, product, and other engineers.

• Strong hands-on experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React or Vue) in the context of Adobe Commerce — e.g., PWA Studio, Venia, or a headless/composable storefront.

• Deep CSS/LESS/Sass skills and experience building responsive, accessible (WCAG) interfaces.

• Experience integrating storefront UI with backend/middleware services via REST or GraphQL, with solid coverage of automated frontend/functional tests (Jest, Cypress, or MFTF).

• Working knowledge of frontend build tooling (Webpack, Vite) and performance profiling tools (Lighthouse, WebPageTest, New Relic, or Blackfire).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with design systems/component libraries (Storybook or similar).

• Familiarity with headless/composable commerce architectures and API-led connectivity (API gateways, BFF patterns, microservices).

• Experience with personalization or A/B testing tools (e.g., Adobe Target, Optimizely).

• Background working with cross-functional design teams in a large enterprise setting.

• Adobe Commerce Developer Professional or Expert Certification.

• Exposure to microservices architecture and API-led integration patterns.

• Experience with performance monitoring and profiling tools such as New Relic or Blackfire.

• Comfort mentoring other developers and contributing to engineering best practices and coding standards beyond your own feature work.

LOCATION, WORK AUTHORIZATION & ENGAGEMENT

• Location: Remote-friendly with regular overlap for standups, sprint ceremonies, and cross-team collaboration during US business hours.

• Background check and client-specific security/compliance screening required prior to start.
