Configurators are how our customers find the exact sensor, encoder, or
instrument they need from a catalog with thousands of variants. You'll own the
configurator stack — primarily Vistech, plus the front-end glue (BigCommerce
/ Catalyst) and the rules + pricing flow back to JDE / SAP. We have 5+ live
configurators today and a roadmap of 10+ more, plus a long-term move toward
AI-assisted configuration.
What you'll do
* Build new configurators on Vistech for current product families across the
four OpCos (sensors, encoders, controls, fluid management).
* Maintain and extend the 5+ live configurators on hengstler.com and
dynapar.com — adding SKUs, rules, validation, pricing logic.
* Wire configurator output cleanly into the BigCommerce cart / quote / order
flow (Catalyst storefront + BC B2B Edition).
* Integrate 3D models (GLB / GLTF / USDZ) and own visualisation quality on both
desktop and mobile.
* Partner with Product Management on configurator UX — reducing clicks to a
valid configuration is a direct revenue lever.
* Build re-usable patterns so each new configurator costs less than the last
(target: 50% reduction in configurator build time by year-end).
* Prototype AI-assisted configuration (e.g., 'describe your application, get a
recommended config') — the next major bet on this team.
* Own QA for configurator changes alongside the QA Automation Engineer; treat
configurator failures as P0.
Must have
* 5+ years building configurator, CPQ, or rules-driven catalog applications.
* Direct hands-on experience with Vistech, Tacton, Configit, or an
equivalent visual rules-based configurator.
* Strong JavaScript / TypeScript and React (or similar component framework).
* Comfortable in BigCommerce or a similar commerce platform — themes, APIs,
cart integration.
* Working knowledge of 3D web (Three.js, model-viewer, or similar) — enough to
debug a broken model render.
* Track record turning a complex product catalog into a usable configurator
