• 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.

• 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.
