BigCommerce, named a “Great Place to Work” in Australia 2024, is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Sydney development team.
The B2B team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer who want to make an impact at every level of society by powering innovators, creative thinkers, entrepreneurs, and business owners around the world to be successful at each stage of their business growth.

Our team’s core programming languages include Python, TypeScript and recently adopting Golang, but we’re more interested in your problem-solving skills and your willingness to learn than your specific experience.
We work closely with other engineering teams, product owners, designers, business representatives and external partners to build a robust e-commerce platform that enables our customers to grow their businesses and our technology partners to build robust integrations and enhancements on top of our APIs. We have a team of people at different levels and with different expertise and we work to iterate, learn, and build great software together.
