The team 

As a software engineer on the Content Technology team, you’ll be at the center of what makes Vistaprint unique: our graphic design content. Vistaprint is different from other e-commerce companies because our products are fully customizable. Our team is rebuilding the software that allows millions of customers to browse and select designs for their customized products. We’re a unique team within Vistaprint since we build both backend services and frontend web applications.  

We’re currently a few months into a multi-year re-architecture, and we’ve already successfully tested our technology with customers. We’re building our systems from the ground up to create a modern, flexible platform that gives our business partners new levels of control. This translates into greenfield development, retiring legacy systems, and designing their replacements, and that’s where we need your help! 

The role 

In a typical day you might: 

• Work on a backend process that imports millions of design assets into a document store for efficient retrieval. 

• Add features to Vistaprint’s website that allow customers to browse and select designs. 

• Build React applications that allow internal users to manage and curate designs. 

• Collaborate on a co-worker's code review.

• Work with team members and internal stakeholders to develop user interfaces that are both attractive and easy to use.
