3+ years of backend engineering experience (Python preferred)
Strong knowledge of SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)
Familiarity with NoSQL and event-driven architectures is a plus

What the job involves

With the Catalog Team at Constructor, you’ll tackle complex backend challenges at scale
Our catalog services sit at the core of our platform and process massive volumes of data that power everything from search to personalization for major e-commerce brands every second
The Catalog Management system at Constructor is responsible for much more than managing data – as a member of our team, you’ll be optimizing for performance-critical distributed systems, solving for high-scale data flows, and taking part in technological transformations such as finding new applications for event-driven systems as we continue to grow

Our take

Online shopping has vastly increased the reach of stores and put a wealth of products at consumer’s fingertips. However, tedious searches are one cause for online carts to be abandoned before purchase. Constructor.io, founded in 2015, builds technology to counter the search element behind these unfinished purchases, with a powerful product discovery platform for eCommerce businesses.

eCommerce searching is generally poor, lagging behind the power of large search engines, in part due to low system intelligence. Constructor.io’s search employs AI, machine learning and natural language processing to return relevant results for search and browse functions, as well as for recommendations and autosuggest. A host of other novel search technologies have launched recently, but Constructor remains the leader in the space, with significant backing and high levels of growth.

Constructor.io already serves big-name customers including Sephora and Walmart’s Bonobos. And its raised impressive funding that it intends to use to expand operations and business reach.
