As we expand our platform to support a mobile application for our merchants, we’re looking for a backend developer to help expose key data through modern APIs.

● Evaluating approaches to data access and API design
● Building robust endpoints for use by mobile clients

Knowledge and Skills:

● Experience integrating and consuming 3rd-party APIs
● Ability to analyze and improve backend workflows with a focus on practical, maintainable solutions
● Solid debugging and performance optimization skills

Nice to Have:
● Experience building APIs that support mobile clients (iOS/Android)
● Familiarity with ecommerce systems or merchant tools
● CI/CD pipeline development or test automation
● Exposure to legacy desktop applications (C# or Delphi)
● Interest in AI-driven tooling or feature development
