About the Role

Join Ekrocx's engineering team as a Senior Commerce Platform Engineer and lead the technical delivery of large-scale headless commerce programmes across the GCC and beyond. You'll architect and build the commerce foundations that power flagship enterprise retail experiences — from data-driven storefronts to custom checkout flows and multi-region catalogue systems.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement headless commerce solutions using Shopify Plus, commercetools, or SAP Commerce Cloud.
• Design scalable API layers (REST & GraphQL) connecting commerce platforms with CDPs, ERPs, and OMS systems.
• Lead technical scoping and estimation for enterprise client engagements and RFP responses.
• Collaborate with UX and strategy teams to define the technical path from discovery through to deployment.
• Mentor mid-level engineers, conduct code reviews, and uphold engineering standards across the team.
• Identify and address performance bottlenecks — page speed, CDN configuration, edge caching strategies.
• Participate in on-call rotations and ensure production systems meet agreed SLAs.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on commerce platforms.
• Deep expertise in Shopify Plus — custom apps, Hydrogen, theme architecture, and Admin / Storefront APIs.
• Strong command of Node.js or TypeScript for backend services and API integrations.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerisation (Docker), and cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure).
• Solid understanding of e-commerce fundamentals: PIM, OMS, payments, multi-currency, tax.
• Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience with commercetools, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, or SAP Commerce.
• Familiarity with CDPs (Segment, Bloomreach) and marketing automation integrations.
• Exposure to GCC-region payment gateways (Tamara, Tabby, Payfort).
• Published open-source projects or community contributions.
• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Flexible working arrangements — remote-friendly with global office access.
• AED 8,000 annual learning and development budget.
• Full health, dental, and vision coverage from day one.
• Access to a senior mentorship network across all disciplines.
• Regular team off-sites, knowledge-sharing sessions, and career reviews.
