Job Summary

We're seeking a Magento (Adobe Commerce) Headless Software Developer to help build fast, modern e-commerce experiences that customers love.

You'll work with Magento as an API-first backend and a React/Next.js storefront architecture (Graph

QL-forward, Graph Commerce-style). This is a hands-on role with real ownership-ideal for someone who moves quickly, works independently, and enjoys shipping improvements that directly impact customer experience, conversion, and site performance. Hyvä (Themes or Checkout) experience is a strong bonus.

What We Offer /Why Join

• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Opportunity to work on modern, composable commerce architectures.
• Engineering-driven culture with room to influence technical direction.
• Long-term platform ownership and growth opportunities.
• Autonomy and accountability: trusted to scope work, make decisions, and deliver.
• Visible impact: your work ships to production and improves customer experience and performance.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy combining Magento's robust commerce engine with modern React-based frontends. If you've worked with Graph Commerce, or built something similar, you'll feel right ä experience is a strong plus, but React + Magento Graph

QL + PHP expertise is core to this role.

Work Location Requirement

This position is on-site Monday through Friday at our Easton, PA headquarters to support fast collaboration, production schedules, and close coordination with internal teams. Hybrid/remote may be considered for highly qualified candidates who can work Eastern Time and visit on-site occasionally.

What You'll Work On

• A headless storefront and modern customer journeys (browse → PDP → checkout)
• Performance and reliability improvements that move real business metrics
• Integrations across key systems (payments, loyalty, ERP/PIM/CMS)
• Practical engineering in a high-visibility e-commerce environment

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Build and maintain headless Magento / Adobe Commerce implementations using Graph
  
  QL and REST APIs.
• Develop and extend Magento backend services, custom modules, and integrations.
• Work with React.js storefronts (e.g., Graph Commerce-style architectures) consuming Magento Graph
  
  QL APIs.
• Collaborate with frontend teams using React, Next.js, and modern JavaScript tooling.
• Optimize Magento API performance, caching, indexing, and query efficiency.
• Design and maintain integrations with third-party systems (CMS, ERP, PIM, payments, loyalty, etc.).
• Troubleshoot production issues and contribute to platform reliability and performance.
• Write clean, testable, and well-documented code.
• Implement and customize Hyvä Checkout.
• Develop React/Next.js storefront functionality in a Graph Commerce architecture.
• Collaborate effectively with a small cross-functional team.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• 3-6+ years building and shipping web applications in production as a full-stack or backend-leaning full-stack developer.
• Strong PHP experience with modern frameworks and patterns;
  Magento 2/Adobe Commerce experience strongly preferred (see Preferred Qualifications).
• Strong JavaScript/Type Script experience and hands-on work with React and modern front-end tooling (Next.js experience a plus).
• Experience consuming and designing Graph
  
  QL/REST APIs, including performance considerations (caching, query efficiency).
• Demonstrated ability to work independently: scoping work, making sound technical decisions, shipping iteratively, and communicating progress/risks clearly.
• Proven track record of delivering under real-world constraints: debugging production issues, improving performance, and balancing speed with quality.
• Comfortable collaborating across functions (product/UX/front-end)…
