Senior Commerce Engineer

About DemandBridge 

DemandBridge builds the e-commerce and ERP software that print, promotional products, and marketing-services distributors run their businesses on, from order entry and inventory to procurement and online storefronts. Hundreds of distributors across North America rely on our platform to serve their clients faster, keep costs under control, and grow. 

DemandBridge is part of Fluent Software Group (a Valsoft Corporation operating group), a global acquirer and operator of vertical market software businesses. We focus on specialized industries where expertise creates lasting advantages. 

The Opportunity 

Help shape the next version of DemandBridge’s e-commerce product. As our Senior Commerce Engineer, you’ll own its technical evolution: identifying what needs to change, deciding how to improve it and building those improvements across the stack. 

You’ll work with an established platform and take it forward, making decisions about what to build, refactor or replace to improve performance, scalability and the customer experience. Your work will span architecture, services, the database and the front end, giving you the scope to turn your recommendations into working software. 

Working closely with R&D, product, support and leadership, you’ll connect customer needs with engineering priorities and guide how the product evolves. This is a hands-on technical leadership role without people-management responsibilities, with ownership of both new development and production reliability. 

Location: Canada (remote) 

The salary range for this role is $120,000 CAD–$135,000 CAD per year. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and location.
