🔥 Why Stockly needs you

Stockly is not a typical SaaS product. We operate a highly technical, backend-driven platform (~90% of the product’s value) where:

• Latency directly impacts revenue

• Correctness is critical

• Failure handling is part of everyday engineering

As a Backend Software Engineer, you’ll work at the very core of our platform:

• Real-time inventory synchronisation

• Order orchestration across multiple merchants

• Distributed systems under strong consistency constraints

• Integrations with complex external systems (ERP, OMS, WMS, marketplaces)

This role is for engineers who:

• Enjoy real-world complexity

• Want end-to-end ownership

• Care about robustness, scalability, and business impact

🎯 Your Mission

As a Backend Software Engineer (Confirmed / Senior), you will:

• Own complex backend features from design to production

• Build systems that operate at scale in real, messy e-commerce environments

• Continuously improve the platform based on production feedback

💪 Your Responsibilities

You will:

• Design, build, and operate core backend services for:

  • Real-time inventory sharing

  • Order routing

  • Transactional workflows

• Own features end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, iteration

• Integrate with external systems (ERP, OMS, WMS, marketplaces), handling:

  • Heterogeneous data models

  • Partial failures

  • Operational constraints

• Collaborate closely with Product & Operations to turn business problems into reliable technical solutions

• Improve reliability, performance, and architecture, contributing to:

  • Incident analysis

  • Technical standards

  • Long-term platform roadmap

🤝 Who you’ll work with

• A strong, product-oriented engineering team

• Experienced founders and senior engineers who have already scaled complex systems

• Daily collaboration with Product and Operations to ensure what we build actually works in production

✅ This is a deep engineering role, close to production and real business impact

🌟 Why this role is exciting

• Backend engineering truly matters at Stockly

• Few roles offer such a direct link between code and revenue

• You’ll solve problems with no obvious solutions, under real constraints

• Every improvement helps independent retailers compete with e-commerce giants

If you enjoy building systems that must be correct, resilient, and scalable, this role is for you.

📈 Your Growth at Stockly

• You can grow by:

  • Deepening your technical expertise

  • Expanding your ownership scope

  • Becoming a key contributor to platform architecture

• As Stockly scales, you’ll work on increasingly complex systems while staying hands-on

👉 At Stockly, you drive your own growth. The more you want to take ownership, the more room you’ll have.

✅ What will help you succeed

• 2+ years of experience in backend or platform engineering (seniority is flexible - impact matters more than titles)

• Strong coding skills in at least one backend language (Rust, C++, Go, Scala, Haskell, OCaml, etc.)

• Willingness to learn Rust (you don’t need to be fluent on day one)

• Solid understanding of:

  • APIs & databases

  • Performance & observability

  • Testing & production constraints

• Ability to:

  • Turn ambiguous business needs into concrete technical solutions

  • Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, scalability, and maintainability

• Curious, rigorous, and eager to learn from incidents and edge cases
