Software Engineer II

Engineering has changed. We're changing with it. At, we build the software that helps eCommerce merchants win on search, discovery, and customer engagement. Building that well, in this market, means the engineering behind it can't stand still either. AI has moved past being a coding aid, it's reshaping how software actually gets built, from spec to delivery, and we're moving with it rather than waiting for the dust to settle: agentic workflows, new tooling, new ideas about what a software factory even looks like. We build on and around Shopify, a platform that changes just as fast, so staying current isn't a nice-to-have here, it's the job.

That's why we're not hiring for where engineering was. We're hiring the next level of engineer, people who see this pace of change as the interesting part of the work, not something to survive until things settle down.

Your Impact:

As a Software Engineer II, you will lead the design and development of complex features and components for our cloud-based SaaS platform. You will architect and implement scalable solutions, provide technical guidance to other engineers, and contribute to the evolution of our technology stack. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer looking to take on greater technical responsibility and ownership.

You'll join a small, full-stack engineering team building a complex SaaS platform with deep Shopify integration across three apps (merchant dashboard, admin portal, embeddable widgets) and 40+ shared packages. We're looking for someone who thrives working across the entire stack—Next.js/React frontend, TypeScript/GraphQL, AWS Lambda backend—who can own features end-to-end and help us scale our platform while maintaining code quality.

• Design, develop, test, and maintain complex features and components for cloud-based SaaS applications.

• Lead the development of medium to large-sized features, taking ownership from design to deployment and monitoring.

• Architect and implement solutions that are scalable, resilient, and maintainable.

• Proactively identify and address technical debt and architectural improvements.

• Provide technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers, including code reviews and mentoring.

• Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to define and refine technical requirements.

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues, including performance and scalability problems.

• Contribute to the selection and evaluation of new technologies and tools.

• Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and emerging technologies.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent and 2-4 years of relevant experience is required. Alternatively, an equivalent combination of education and experience is required.

• Expert-level proficiency in programming principles (e.g. OOP, functional) and design patterns (e.g. DRY, SOLID, IoC).

• Expert-level proficiency in at least one frontend framework (React, Angular, or Vue) and experience with advanced UI concepts.

• Expert-level proficiency in at least one backend language (Node.js, PHP, Python, or Go) and experience with microservices architecture.

• Extensive experience with database design, optimization, and NoSQL databases.

• Extensive experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated deployment tools, and infrastructure-as-code.

• Proven experience leading small to medium-sized development teams in an Agile environment.

• Extensive experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), including a deep understanding of cloud-native architectures.

• Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.

• Experience with security best practices for web applications.

• Proficiency in prompt engineering and experience in using AI coding assistant tool in day-to-day work.

• Fluent in English.

eCommerce is crowded, noisy and increasingly complex. At clearer.io, we're built for a different outcome: clarity you can act on.

We connect to the stack a merchant already uses. Our AI agents enrich their catalogue, learn from their reviews and customers, and put that intelligence to work inside the tools they already own — so their products get found, trusted and chosen by shoppers and AI, without replatforming. We do this across our products: Clearer, Boost Commerce, REVIEWS.io and Influence, used by thousands of merchants worldwide.

We're a global team with offices in Australia, the UK, Germany, Vietnam and the US, backed for the long term by PSG Equity and Silversmith Capital Partners.

We care about doing the work properly: listening first, building second and shipping quickly where it matters. Results matter more than rhetoric.

What guides us day to day:

• Customers at the heart: we obsess over their needs so we can grow together

• Purposeful progress: we don't settle - we take initiative and embrace bold thinking

• Endless innovation: we refine, improve, and take meaningful action

• Always open: we build trust through transparency and global collaboration

We're committed to a fair and inclusive hiring experience. Hiring decisions at clearer.io are based on skills, experience and role requirements - nothing else. If you need any adjustments during the interview process, just tell us; it won't affect your application.

If you believe eCommerce growth should be simpler, smarter and clearer - we'd love to hear from you. Apply now.
