Your role in the team
- You will design and evolve the backend systems behind our returns experiences—owning problems end-to-end: clarify outcomes, collaborate with Product and Design, and ship reliable, observable services that make returns fast, clear, and correct.
- Lead services & workflows from concept to impact: model data, implement APIs and jobs, instrument, launch, and iterate.
- Design and evolve domain models & rules for returns (RMAs, eligibility, routing, bundles) with safe migrations and clear boundaries.
- Build and maintain APIs (REST/GraphQL) and endpoints that power our server-driven UI (HTMX/Alpine).
- Integrate with commerce systems (e.g., Shopify) and order/warehouse tools: design and operate API/webhook integrations, keep orders and RMAs in sync, and ensure idempotent, reliable synchronization and backfills.
- Raise the bar on engineering practices: typing (mypy), validation (Pydantic), code quality (Ruff), CI/CD, and thoughtful reviews.
- Own quality in production: monitor performance and error rates; fix what you ship.
