Sr. Software Engineer II - Catalog

About the Role

Join iHerb as a Sr. Software Engineer II - Catalog and play a pivotal role in building and modernizing our product catalog, a cornerstone of our business operations. You will engage in full-stack development, encompassing backend services, React frontend, and relational data layers. While our primary backend stack is .NET/C#, our organization also utilizes Go, Python, and Java.

Job Expectations

• Build and deploy catalog features end-to-end, including API design, business logic, data models, and React UI.
• Integrate AI-driven SDLC tooling, such as Claude Code, into your daily workflow for tasks like code generation, spec-to-code translation, and automated test creation.
• Participate in the catalog modernization initiative, working on the new technology stack in parallel with the existing platform.
• Write and maintain automated tests, embedding quality into the development process.
• Conduct pull request reviews, uphold code standards, and contribute to the improvement of our shared development practices.
• Collaborate with product and design teams to refine specifications throughout the implementation phase.
• Implement service instrumentation with logging, metrics, and alerts; participate in on-call rotations and own incident response for catalog services.
