Role
Who you are
- At least 5 years of professional experience are part of your background, ideally gained in an open-source environment
- Your tech stack includes PHP (Symfony) and JavaScript/TypeScript (Vue.js)
- You are willing to work primarily as a Full Stack Developer, with a strong focus on frontend development
- You don’t just implement requirements – you help shape them: You actively participate in refinements and discussions, challenge concepts constructively, and think beyond pure implementation. You bring in your own ideas, consider the bigger picture, and help translate product and business needs into sustainable technical solutions
- A solid understanding of quality assurance and code reviews is part of your skill set
- Reliability, proactivity, and a strong sense of responsibility characterize the way you approach tasks and projects, always aiming for the best outcomes with your team
- Comfortable communication in English is natural for you, and you thrive in an international, “English First” environment
What the job involves
- Join an interdisciplinary team working directly on Shopware Core – with a focus on the Discovery Domain
- The aim of this domain is to help retailers ensure that buyers discover exactly the products they are looking for
- The team is responsible for key functions relating to content (CMS), structure (categories, sales channels), internationalisation and the presentation of products and shops
- Shopware Commerce Core Development: Implement and maintain innovative product features and extensions directly within the Shopware Core, with a focus on JavaScript/TypeScript (Vue.js) for the frontend and PHP (Symfony) for the backend. Your work will significantly contribute to the advancement of our open-source e-commerce solution, “Shopware 6”
- Ownership & Impact: Take full ownership of your code and domain, ensuring high-quality and scalable solutions. Your contributions will play a key role in driving the evolution of Shopware 6 and shaping the future of e-commerce
- Diverse Development Areas: You will develop and maintain central discovery functionalities such as CMS, categories, media management and sales channel-specific playback. Your focus will be on clean architecture, good expandability, and a consistent user experience in the storefront and admin context
- Agile Work: Work with agile development methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) and tools like Jira and Confluence to ensure efficient and transparent collaboration
- Quality and Open Source: Independently test your software (Unit/Functional/E2E), conduct code reviews, and support the open-source development community with your expertise. Your contributions will enhance the quality and reliability of the Shopware Core
- Frontend Focus: Ensure responsive web design, cross-browser compatibility, accessibility, and performance to deliver an optimal user experience for the merchants
Our take
The eCommerce boom in recent years has shown no signs of slowing down, and Shopware is capturing the opportunity. The company offers a set of open source tools to power the online shopping experience for hundreds of thousands of brands.
There are of course competitors, like Shopify Plus, but Shopware has stood out for serving mid-market companies that were not digitally-native businesses but had to take on digital channels to keep up with customer demand. This, combined with the obvious increase in brands and companies needing help when eCommerce became more mainstream, has served Shopware particularly well.
Founded in 2000, the company only received its first round of funding in 2022. Until then, it had been profitable off its own back. This capital and support from, among others, Carlyle and PayPal will be invested in its international growth.
