Web-native platforms move fast but were never built for a shop floor. Legacy store systems were built for the shop floor but take a year to change anything. OneView Commerce is the third option: a headless commerce platform for physical retail that lets the world's largest retailers innovate just as quickly as the smaller ones. We ship store experiences that deploy fast out of the box, and we give retailers the freedom to build their own on top of a headless transaction engine engineered for the physical store rather than the browser. Our customers are global retailers who build on OneView because it lets them keep moving: new journeys, new channels, and new store formats ship continuously rather than waiting on the next multi-year programme. Founded in 2010 to close the gap between fast-moving e-commerce and slow-moving in-store systems, OneView's founding principle is a single view of customers, orders, and inventory throughout the shopping journey. That remains our mission as we enable retailers to deliver exceptional store experiences that build loyalty. We are a remote-first team with Viewers working across the globe, and we operate as a trusted provider of digital commerce systems for leading retailers. OneView is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take on the harder half of what a delivery team builds. Reporting to the VP of Engineering and working in a Scrum team alongside a Lead Software Engineer, you will design and build complex features and integrations end to end, from very little direction. You will mentor a Software Engineer, usually one at a time, and the measure is whether they got better rather than whether their tickets got closed. This is the rung below Lead Software Engineer and a deliberate step towards it, so the parts of that job you want more of are available to you. The Lead Software Engineer owns the team's standard, its improvement agenda, and its technical direction, and you are the person they will lean on most to shape all three. We use AI throughout our day-to-day work and expect you to find uses for it we have not thought of. Write it down, take it to the team and the Lead Software Engineer, and change it on the strength of the argument rather than defending it. Design in performance, security, and resilience rather than retrofitting them. Contribute to the team's choices about methods, libraries, and tooling, argue for them on evidence, and bring the Lead Software Engineer the problems worth solving. Estimate and sequence work honestly, and raise risk to a sprint commitment while there is still time to act on it. Mentor a Software Engineer, and make them better rather than doing their work for them. 5+ years building production software, with a track record of delivering complex work independently. ~ Strong in a modern typed language such as TypeScript, Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, or C#. ~ Depth on either the client side, in a component framework such as React, Angular, or Vue, or on the service side. ~ Public cloud experience with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, including managed and serverless compute patterns. ~ Data modelling across relational and document stores, and can explain why a query is slow. ~ Ships through the team's CI/CD pipeline rather than around it, and can read a failing build. ~ AI-assisted development as normal practice, and can explain every line of generated code they ship. Experience in retail technology, or another domain where software runs in physical locations under real-world constraints. Performance profiling and optimisation on a live system, and can describe what they found and what they changed. Has built agentic or AI-assisted development workflows, and can describe what they changed about how a team works. Alongside the global retailers we already serve, we have just been selected by one of the largest store networks in the world to replace their legacy store system, and are actively pursuing more of the retailers who have decided that decades of accumulated inertia is a problem worth solving properly. We're building a team that does great work and enjoys doing it, and it shows: Our leadership team brings decades of experience across software development, delivery, sales, and marketing, so the independence comes with people who know the terrain and will back your judgement. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran, or disability status. Applicants must have current, ongoing right to work in the UK.
