Are you an experienced e-Commerce software architect ready to
contribute to the design, development and deployment of a next
generation platform? Are you a strong professional that can embrace
the
challenge of producing success in a world class software organization?
eBags, the world's largest online retailer of bags and travel
accessories, has an immediate opening for a Software Architect.
In your role as Architect, you will work on a team of architects to
provide the overall architectural and design guidance for all software
development and integration projects, and specifically our next
generation, multinational, multilingual, multisite platform rewrite
using primarily Microsoft .NET 2.0+ technologies. We are an agile
development shop, so experience with agile is a big plus. This job
also
has a substantial "hands-on" component – we are a small
enough shop where even our architects get to write code on a daily
basis.
You and your team will be able to focus on software development
exclusively, leaving the day to day operations of our infrastructure to
other folks. This job really is about developing the best in leading
edge software to support eBags current and future growth.
Come join our team and enjoy our relaxed, casual work environment (the
CTO wears sandals to work every day!) while becoming an expert in
international ecommerce, multilingual site development, and agile
software processes and helping us complete our next generation
technology platform.
We are seeking a highly talented software architect with significant
experience in an e-commerce or online marketplace. If you haven't
"done it" before, this is not the job for you. You need to know
what you are doing, how to define solid design patterns and
architectures for n-tier, scalable internet based commerce systems, and
have the skills and attitude to make things happen in the fast-paced
world of a pre-IPO internet environment. You need to be comfortable
mentoring and advising multiple small teams while also delivering
capacity as a developer. You will be working on a team of architects
led by the Manager of Software Architecture, who in turn reports to the
Director of Software Development.
