About Cimpress Technology

Cimpress Technology builds the software platforms that power Cimpress’ mass-customization businesses around the world. Our teams develop highly scalable, cloud-native systems that enable millions of customers to design, purchase, and receive personalized products. We focus on long-term platform thinking, engineering excellence, and building systems that operate reliably at global scale.

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our Order Processing subdomain, working on a next-generation Commerce Platform. 

This role is ideal for a senior engineer who enjoys owning backend systems end-to-end, working on complex business workflows, and building reliable, scalable services that operate at high transaction volumes. You will play a key role in designing and evolving a standardized commerce platform that enables Cimpress businesses to transact at massive scale while reducing reliance on third-party SaaS solutions.

This is a remote-first role based in Ontario, Canada, with a collaborative, distributed team.

What You’ll Work On

You’ll help build CimCommerce v2, a unified, internally owned commerce platform designed to:

• Support billions of dollars in annual transactions
  
  

• Standardize commerce capabilities such as carts, orders, payments, and fulfillment
  
  

• Enable consistent, high-quality data across commerce systems
  
  

• Improve reliability, extensibility, and long-term platform leverage
  
  

• Serve as a foundation for future personalization, optimization, and AI-driven capabilities
  
  

Customer-facing experiences are owned by Cimpress businesses; your focus will be on core backend commerce services and platform capabilities.

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs for cart and order lifecycle management
  
  

• Build cloud-native, distributed systems with a focus on scalability, reliability, and data integrity
  
  

• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and partner teams to translate business needs into well-designed technical solutions
  
  

• Take ownership of features from design through production, including operational readiness
  
  

• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making
  
  

• Troubleshoot production issues and continuously improve system resilience and performance
  
  

• Contribute to automated testing and CI/CD practices
  
  

• Participate in Agile ceremonies such as backlog refinement, sprint planning, and retrospectives
  
  

• Take part in a light on-call rotation to support the availability of business-critical services
