Lead Fullstack Developer - Project Delivery Add-ons (all genders)

SCAYLE is one of the fastest-growing enterprise commerce platforms in the world, enabling brands and retailers to realize their D2C ambitions. SCAYLE stands for innovation, international collaboration, and a strong focus on data. We believe that stepping outside of our comfort zone and making bold decisions is key to growing both professionally and personally. Instead of seeing problems as obstacles, we approach them as opportunities to find better solutions. We work in an environment that encourages flexibility, creativity, and continuous development. What drives us is the shared motivation to make an impact and actively shape the future of eCommerce.
As part of SCAYLE’s Add-on Unit, we build modular, plug-and-play e-commerce solutions that extend the SCAYLE commerce engine and enable additional capabilities for our tenants.
