  • Integrate with catalog, pricing, inventory, promotions, customer/identity, PIM, ERP, and OMS platforms.
  • Implement and support event-driven architecture and messaging using RabbitMQ or similar asynchronous messaging platforms.
  • Work with AWS/cloud-native services, caching, databases, queues, observability, and distributed-system troubleshooting.
  • Address Magento performance considerations, including indexing, database load, caching, asynchronous processing, and high-volume catalog/order workloads.
  • Build middleware/adapters that map new commerce services into existing Magento GraphQL/API contracts during a phased migration.
  • Perform automated testing, CI/CD, code reviews, debugging, and production support.
  • Serve as a senior hands-on technical lead and mentor engineers.
  • Partner closely with the Architect on implementation decisions.
