We're looking for a Principal Engineer to act as the senior technical authority for a global digital commerce platform. You'll own the architecture and the technical roadmap end to end — from BigCommerce storefronts and headless commerce solutions to the integrations that connect them with enterprise systems.

This is a role for an engineer who wants both: deep, hands-on architecture work and real influence over how a platform and a team evolve. You set the standards, and you're the person others come to when the hard call has to be made.

What you'll do

- Own architecture and the technical roadmap for the digital commerce platform, including BigCommerce storefronts and headless commerce solutions.
- Lead the design, delivery, and integration of scalable full-stack ecommerce and internal applications with enterprise systems.
- Define technical standards, run architecture and code reviews, and keep engineering quality high across teams.
- Mentor developers and grow the technical depth of the team.
- Drive adoption of AI-assisted development tools and DevOps best practices into everyday engineering workflows.

What you bring

- 8+ years in software application development, including 3+ years on BigCommerce or a comparable SaaS commerce platform.
- Hands-on experience customizing BigCommerce storefronts with the Stencil framework.
- Strong background in headless commerce architectures and REST / GraphQL integrations.
- Full-stack expertise in JavaScript / TypeScript / Node.js / React, plus one of Java, C#, or Python.
- Practical experience with AWS or Azure and CI/CD pipelines.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.




- Proven ability to define technical strategy and lead complex, cross-functional projects, and to communicate it clearly to both engineers and business stakeholders.
