Senior Backend Architect
Solteq Commerce
At Solteq, we help companies grow through smart, scalable, and human‑centric commerce solutions. Now we're looking for a Senior Backend Architect who enjoys shaping architecture and staying close to the code. Someone who thrives on collaboration, appreciates clarity, and wants to make an impact in real-world commerce environments.
Why join us?
At Solteq you’ll be part of a supportive, skilled, and friendly community. We value curiosity, trust, open dialogue, and space for different perspectives. You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues and customers, help define best practices, and contribute to solutions that genuinely matter.
Your role
As a Senior Backend Architect, you will design and build backend solutions for complex, modern commerce platforms. You’ll work directly with customers and cross-functional Solteq teams - turning business needs into API‑first, microservices‑based architectures that are scalable, robust, and long‑lasting.
This role combines architectural leadership with hands‑on development, giving you the space to influence direction while staying connected to implementation.
What you'll do
Design and build headless, API‑first commerce backends
Develop modular services in containerized cloud environments
Implement integrations and event‑driven workflows across commerce ecosystems
Take ownership of backend architecture, quality, and scalability
Work directly with customers to refine requirements and shape solutions
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and continuous delivery practices
Support and guide colleagues as a trusted technical voice
Help shape how we build future‑ready commerce solutions
What we're looking for
You are skilled, curious, and comfortable taking technical ownership—while also valuing teamwork, inclusion, and open communication.
Your experience includes:
5+ years in eCommerce or backend development
Strong expertise in Java (TypeScript experience is a plus)
Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, REST APIs, and integrations
Knowledge of microservices, event‑driven systems, and headless architectures
Solid experience working in Agile teams and owning technical decisions
CI/CD practices and automated testing (TDD is a plus)
Experience with AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot)
Confidence engaging with customers and presenting technical solutions
Bonus points for...
These are nice to have, not must‑haves - we know great candidates come with diverse backgrounds.
Balancing long-term architectural ownership with pragmatic delivery
Experience working cross‑functionally or in distributed teams
Danish and/or Norwegian language skills
Production monitoring and observability: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry
Designing secure APIs, auth flows (OAuth2, JWT, SSO)
Familiarity with AWS services: SQS, SNS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda
Who you are
You might be a great fit if you:
Enjoy working collaboratively and value diverse viewpoints
Feel energized by solving complex problems with clarity and structure
Appreciate a culture where trust, respect, and balance matter
Want to grow while helping others grow with you
