Backend Engineer

Do you enjoy solving problems independently? Are you passionate about refining logic and powered by problem-solving? Do you have a deep understanding of technical architecture with demonstrable experience to boot?

We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer to help us improve and extend our backend foundations, make complex data management challenges look easy, and transform the ever-changing world of eCommerce alongside our small (but growing!) and mighty team.

Who is Crobox?

Crobox is reinventing Guided Selling. How? By enriching product content and building compelling eCommerce experiences that connect customer needs directly to product benefits. We help shoppers make the right decision in a stress-free environment by leveraging our expertise in behavioral psychology, eCommerce, and data.

What is the challenge?

This role requires excellent communication skills and conceptual thinking capabilities. You enjoy laying the architectural foundations for the things you’re working on and take the initiative towards solving problems with the right solutions. We offer complex data management and handling challenges. As such, you’ll be proactive in keeping yourself up to date, do not hide in a big crowd, and don’t consider yourself a one-trick pony.
