RR Commerce Nederland B.V. HQ: Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands Remote job Aug 26

We are a Netherlands-based commerce company operating an established online platform and we are looking for an experienced E-commerce Developer to support the continuous improvement and development of our system.

Our platform is already running, but as our business grows, we need technical support to improve existing functionality, optimize workflows, and implement new features that support our customers and internal operations.

We are looking for someone who can understand an existing e-commerce environment, review the current architecture, identify areas for improvement, and develop reliable solutions without disrupting the current business operations.

The main focus areas include:

  • Improving existing e-commerce workflows
  • Enhancing product and catalogue management
  • Optimizing customer journeys and checkout processes

  • Payment and shipping integrations
  • Inventory and external system connections

Typical tasks may include:

  • Developing custom e-commerce functionality
  • Extending existing platforms and frameworks
  • Building and maintaining integrations with external services
  • Working with REST APIs and webhooks
  • Improving database structures and queries
  • Troubleshooting technical issues
  • Reviewing and improving backend workflows

The right person should have experience with modern e-commerce platforms such as:

  • Custom e-commerce solutions

Experience with the following would be highly valuable:

  • PHP and backend development
  • JavaScript
  • MySQL and database optimization
  • API integrations
  • Payment providers
  • ERP/CRM integrations
  • Large product catalogues
  • Existing production platforms

Please share:
