Role
Who you are

- Expert knowledge of multiple object-oriented programming languages (PHP, C#, Python, JavaScript, Java, Ruby, etc.)
- Professional approach to software craftsmanship with an unflinching commitment to the disciplines of test-driven development, refactoring, simple design, collaborative programming, and acceptance tests
- Demonstrated skill in building reliable software systems incorporating fundamental design principles (design patterns, SOLID, etc.)

- At least 5 years of professional experience building software applications leveraging web application frameworks
What the job involves

- Using modern tools and methodologies, you will leverage deep technical knowledge of object-oriented design to ensure simplicity, changeability, and longevity in our codebases
- This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a dynamic team of Designers and SDETs to deliver sophisticated e-commerce systems at Internet scale
- Develop, test, and deploy features across the application stack
- Follow best practices like test-driven development, refactoring, and simple design
- Collaborate with engineers, designers, and testers to ensure features achieve business goals and meet usability and experience standards
- Pair effectively with other engineers to deliver high-quality code

Our take
The creator market is estimated to be worth well over $100B - and it’s growing fast. With the rise of eCommerce fuelling independent brands, and more people turning to this as a career avenue over recent years, demand is up for tools to support the industry. And SamCart is offering plenty of them.
The SamCart platform provides a wealth of eCommerce tools to help its over 75,000 creator customers set up a website, improve conversion rates and customer value, and operate and scale their businesses. It also offers business education in the form of CreatorU, an online library of business training content.
Importantly, this helps sellers operate independently of eCommerce giants like Etsy and Amazon - and SamCart doesn’t take a percentage of sales in return. This could see SamCart siphon off customers dissatisfied with the giants, whose practices increasingly cater towards larger brands.
So, SamCart has been slowly building out what could prove a huge contender to these major eCommerce rivals. Certainly, the rapid expansion of tools (including support for video course creators) demonstrates a market savvy and agility which will help it compete as the creator market grows.
