Hi everyone. Fresh off our last hiring spree we’ve just announced 14 new roles in both our Austin office and Sydney office as we continue to expand our team so we can maintain BigCommerce’s astronomical growth (over 5,200%) since it launched last September – it’s now the fastest growing SaaS ecommerce platform in the world.
We operate in small yet nimble teams and we’re a company that’s driven by ambition, vision and passion. Everyone (including the management team) loves technology and especially e-commerce. If this sounds like you then keep reading.
Why you’ll like working here:
- Fridges and cupboards stuffed full of free food and drink
- Great work atmosphere surrounded by like-minded individuals
- Free Friday lunches at local bars, pubs and restaurants
- The ability to work with a team yet take control of your own project
- Regular company outings to celebrate new releases (bowling, laser tag, etc)
- The latest equipment and software tailored to how you like it
- Your choice of computer setup, Windows/Mac/Linux, etc
- You get more than a “job” – you get a career within a fast growing company
- The knowledge that you’re working with us to build something great
We only employ “A players” – that is, people who are self-motivated leaders. If this sounds like you then take a look at our open positions:
- Product manager (Sydney, Australia) – We’re looking for a self-motivated “A” player who wants to work with other smart people to get things done. You love technology and pride yourself on your achievements in regards to product management and leadership. You have a proven ability to balance business requirements with customer needs and you’re 100% committed to everything you do. Learn more or apply.
. - Internal recruitment manager (Austin, TX) – We’re growing (fast) and are looking for an experienced recruitment manager to assist our middle management team in recruiting, interviewing, hiring and on-boarding new staff in our sales and support departments. You should have a passion for technology and a proven track record of making excellent hires in a fast-paced environment. The ability to poach top talent is a bonus. Learn more or apply.
. - Linux systems administrator (Austin, TX) – If you love working with NFS, MemCache, redis, Nagios, puppet and the LAMP stack. If you shudder when you hear the words “down time” and you deploy high availability server farms in your spare time. If you want to work with a team of hardcore sys admins and you’d love nothing more than to manage hundreds or even thousands of servers a few years down the track then this role is for you. Learn more or apply.
. - E-commerce sales associate x 4 (Austin, TX) – If you have a passion for e-commerce and love selling a product that practically sells itself then this role is for you. You take pride in sales and go over and above to understand both the product you’re selling and the needs of your customers. You love working in a team environment but also like a friendly challenge to see who can come out on top at the end of a busy sales week. Learn more or apply.
. - Level 1 technical support engineer x 4 (Austin, TX) – If you love people, technology and have a passion for e-commerce then we need you. Using your excellent communication and problem solving skills, you’ll be the first point of call when a BigCommerce customer needs assistance. You can get to the root cause of a problem quickly and you’re a team player who loves a challenge. You’ll learn all sorts of cool stuff (like PHP), but you’ll already have an excellent working knowledge of HTML, CSS and e-commerce. Learn more or apply.
. - Level 2 technical support engineer x 3 (Austin, TX) – You love solving challenging problems and you think outside the box. You’re a self-appointed PHP guru and you’ve got a track record of building or supporting enterprise-grade software built on the LAMP stack. You like the interaction a support role brings but you also like liaising with a hardcore development team to find, diagnose and fix software bugs. Learn more or apply.
. - Senior software engineer (Sydney, Australia) – You’ve been building enterprise-grade software applications on the LAMP stack for years. You code in PHP5, can optimize the hell out of a MySQL database and are familiar with templating frameworks like Twig and Smarty. You take time to think about architecture and you’ve even worked on some large-scale projects in the past which required you to think outside the box. You want to work with a team of the best PHP engineers in Sydney and don’t want any office politics. Learn more or apply.
