What You Will Do
- Build, maintain, and enhance Magento 2/Adobe Commerce back-end functionality using PHP.
- Develop custom modules, services, cron jobs, integrations, API endpoints, and automated business processes.
- Work with SQL/MySQL to troubleshoot data, improve queries, support reporting, and maintain data integrity.
- Use XML, dependency injection, events/observers, plugins, and established Magento development patterns.
- Develop and support GraphQL and REST APIs connecting Magento with NetSuite, Celigo or similar middleware, payment, loyalty, CMS, marketing, and operational systems.
- Manage PHP dependencies with Composer and development environments with Docker.
- Use Git, pull requests, code review, testing, and deployment workflows to deliver reliable changes.
- Troubleshoot production issues across application, database, API, and integration layers and complete root-cause analysis.
- Improve caching, indexing, query efficiency, API performance, platform reliability, and overall e-commerce performance.
- Use working JavaScript knowledge to troubleshoot storefront behavior and collaborate with front-end developers.
- Partner with IT and business teams to turn operational needs into practical, maintainable technical solutions.
Required Experience and Skills
- 3-6+ years of professional back-end web development experience; production e-commerce experience strongly preferred.
- Strong PHP development experience.
- Hands-on Magento 2/Adobe Commerce back-end development experience.
- Strong SQL/MySQL skills, including joins, query analysis, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
- Experience with XML configuration, GraphQL APIs, and REST APIs.
- Experience with Composer, Docker, and Git.
- Working JavaScript knowledge.
- Strong production troubleshooting, debugging, root-cause analysis, and communication skills.
Helpful Experience
- NetSuite, Celigo or similar middleware, ERP, payment, loyalty, CMS, or marketing-system integrations.
- Adobe Commerce Cloud, CI/CD, Linux, AWS, GCP, Redis, Varnish, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, message queues, or Magento indexing and caching.
- Large product catalogs, inventory, pricing, promotions, checkout, orders, fulfillment, and reporting workflows.
- React, Next.js, headless commerce, GraphCommerce, PWA Studio, Hyva, or similar front-end frameworks.
- E-commerce security, privacy, PCI, and secure coding practices.
Location and Schedule
- On-site Monday through Friday at our Easton, PA headquarters.
- Core business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- Occasional flexibility may be needed for deployments, critical deadlines, or urgent production issues.
