Not a refusal, but not a yes. Worth asking in your first message.
Real innovation starts with a strong foundation, and at commercetools, that comes from the perfect balance of our product and our people.
Behind every leap forward is a collective of builders, explorers, doers, makers, and problem-solvers.The kind of people who not only pioneered a more flexible approach to commerce architecture but also shaped the culture of experimentation that approach unlocked. Together they are the engine of commerce innovation today.
At commercetools, we power the next era of autonomous commerce for our customers. Whether it's AI-driven solutions that help enterprises make smarter business decisions, bridging digital and physical shopping experiences, or enabling entirely new ways for industries to connect with their customers, we help the world's most ambitious companies experiment, scale, and grow without limits.
Here the best idea wins, not the loudest voice. You will have the tools, trust, and space to not only build the future of commerce, but to build your own.
You own AI capabilities end-to-end: from the data and context that feed a model, through agent orchestration, to the generative UI a user sees and trusts. You've personally shipped and operated full-stack apps in production, so backend, frontend, data, and ML aren't four teams you coordinate with, they're four things you do. You're not a research scientist; you wield models and engineer ruthlessly around their uncertainty.
This is a full time hybrid role location in either Berlin, Munich, London or Valencia.
