Trusted by some of the world's most recognized brands including Adidas, Alo Yoga, Logitech, Hugo Boss, Marc Jacobs, and Victoria's Secret, we operate on a massive global scale through dynamic teams across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
Our technology-based end-to-end solution combines advanced localization capabilities, streamlined global operations and extensive big-data analytics, covering everything merchants need to scale worldwide. We're a fast-moving, highly collaborative company where innovation, creativity, ownership, and impact are part of everyday work.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
As a Principal Software Engineer at Global-e, you will design and deliver the core services behind our global logistics platform. You will drive innovation within our API-first microservice architecture built on Scala, Kubernetes, and AWS. Working with cross-functional teams you will design and implement robust distributed systems that handle millions of transactions. Your contributions will fuel our growth, shape global logistics capabilities for merchants worldwide, and elevate the technical bar for the entire organization.
Our Logistics team is critical to Global-e's success. We integrate with multiple global carriers, manage taxation and compliance, and offer real-time tracking for customers everywhere. By combining deep industry experience with cutting-edge technology, we deliver best-in-class e-commerce solutions.
If you're driven to build software that makes a real-world impact on a massive scale, we'd love to hear from you.
This role reports to the Engineering Manager for the team and is based out of our Hoboken, NJ office or our Dublin, Ireland office.
You Will:
  • Deliver High-Impact Features: Lead the design, development, and deployment of new capabilities across logistics (fulfillment, labels, tracking) and order management workflows.
  • Shape Technical Architecture: Define, communicate, and guide architectural decisions to ensure scalability and reliability.
  • Elevate Standards: Champion clean code, best practices, and robust testing frameworks, pushing the team to achieve technical excellence.
  • Scale the Product: Propose and implement features, tooling, and infrastructure that support exponential growth and operational efficiency.
  • Ensure Quality & Reliability: Employ a rigorous approach to verification, focusing on stable, high-performing systems that meet critical metrics and SLAs.
  • Move Fast with Confidence: Embrace a rapid, iterative release cycle, balancing speed and safety through CI/CD pipelines, effective monitoring, and efficient processes.
  • Collaborate & Share Knowledge: Work closely with other engineering teams, product managers, and stakeholders to ensure alignment and share expertise.
  • Write Code in Scala: Contribute high-quality Scala code (no prior Scala experience required, just a passion for learning and an interest in functional programming).

You Are:
  • Curious & Enthusiastic: You thrive on tackling complex problems, learning new technologies, and sharing insights with others.
  • Continuous Learner: You stay updated on emerging trends in distributed systems, cloud computing, and software engineering best practices.
  • Effective Communicator: You translate intricate technical details into clear, actionable information for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • A Deep Problem Solver: You analyze both technical and business challenges to identify optimal, future-proof solutions.
  • Adaptable & Resilient: You excel at navigating shifting priorities, managing unplanned work, and ensuring high-impact deliverables stay on track.
  • Team-Oriented: You believe great teams build world-class products, and you're committed to mentoring and collaboration.

Requirements
You Have:
  • 7+ Years of Experience: A proven track record building large-scale, customer-facing applications in a fast-paced environment (e-commerce, fintech, tech startups a plus).
  • Distributed Systems Expertise: Familiarity with designing, deploying, and operating resilient, fault-tolerant systems that handle high traffic.
  • Engineering Practices Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Agile methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, and rapid release cycles.
  • Strong Database Skills: Ability to optimize and scale applications involving complex data interactions

Why Join Global-e?
  • Impact at Global Scale: Build features used by millions, simplifying global commerce and transforming the e-commerce landscape.
  • Modern Technology Stack: Work on an advanced microservices platform, leveraging cloud-native tools and best-in-class engineering practices.
