JD:

· Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent work experience (4+ years professional).

· 5+ years expertise in HCL Commerce and/or IBM WebSphere Commerce (WCS) 8.x — store customization, business logic, tools, catalog/order/user flows, and integration with back-end systems. v8 experience is the hiring bar; later Commerce versions are a plus, not a substitute.

· 5+ years Java development and OOD skills on large IT systems (J2EE on WebSphere Application Server strongly preferred).

· 3+ years Spring / Spring MVC; hands-on Spring Boot (REST APIs, service integration) required — not “Spring on a résumé only.”

· 5+ years web services (REST and SOAP).

· 5+ years source control (Git required; SVN/CVS acceptable as prior experience).

· 3+ years JavaScript, HTML, CSS; Next.js and React experience required (production storefront or equivalent, not tutorials-only). TypeScript preferred.

· Experience with Agile delivery using Atlassian tools (Jira, Bitbucket/Git, Confluence).

· Strong communication skills; proven team player.

Preferred

· B2B commerce, punchout, and/or mobile commerce business models.

· Headless or composable commerce patterns (API-first storefront consuming Commerce or BFF/microservices). MuleSoft or similar iPaaS is a plus, not required.

· Additional JS frameworks (Angular, Vue) as secondary experience.

· Exposure to search (Solr), session/page cache (Redis or similar), and CMS-driven storefronts (e.g. Optimizely or equivalent) alongside a commerce engine.

· Experience working Preview vs Runtime (authoring/preview vs customer-facing) Commerce stacks without treating them as the same environment.
