Staff Full-Stack Developer – Ecosystem Technology Full Time NEW

This is a senior individual contributor role for an experienced builder who can move fluidly between product thinking, technical architecture, and hands-on delivery. You will work across frontend, backend, APIs, integrations, and partner-facing applications to create solutions that unlock growth in strategic ecosystems such as Shopify and beyond.

You will play a foundational role in shaping how Cloudinary extends its platform into external ecosystems through scalable, customer-centric products. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys ambiguity, thrives in fast-moving environments, and wants to build products that sit at the intersection of platform, partnerships, and go-to-market strategy.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain full-stack applications that connect Cloudinary with key external platforms and ecosystems
• Lead technical execution for ecosystem products, including embedded apps, admin tools, integration services, and supporting platform components
• Partner closely with product, design, partnerships, solutions, and go-to-market teams to translate market needs into high-quality software
• Architect scalable backend services, APIs, and data flows that support ecosystem use cases and partner integrations
• Build polished, reliable frontend experiences for merchants, partners, and internal users
• Drive technical discovery and make pragmatic architectural decisions in ambiguous, early-stage product environments
• Improve developer velocity by establishing patterns, frameworks, and reusable components across ecosystem applications
• Ensure high standards for code quality, observability, performance, security, and maintainability
• Mentor other engineers and raise the technical bar through design reviews, implementation guidance, and hands-on collaboration
• Contribute strategically to the team’s roadmap by identifying technical opportunities, risks, and tradeoffs early

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience building and shipping production-grade full-stack applications
• Strong frontend experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks such as React and Next.js
• Strong backend experience designing APIs and services using modern server-side technologies such as Node.js, TypeScript, Python, or similar
• Experience building integrations with third-party platforms, SaaS products, or commerce ecosystems
• Strong architectural judgment and the ability to balance speed, scalability, and maintainability
• Experience working across the full product lifecycle, from discovery and prototyping to launch and iteration
• Comfort operating in small, entrepreneurial teams where context may be incomplete and priorities evolve quickly
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A product mindset and a strong bias toward solving real customer and partner problems

Nice to have

• Experience building for commerce ecosystems such as Shopify
• Experience with embedded apps, OAuth flows, app marketplaces, and partner-facing integrations
• Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, event-driven systems, and integration middleware
• Experience in media, DAM, e-commerce, or martech-related products
• Experience acting as a technical lead without direct people management responsibility

Why this role matters

Cloudinary’s Ecosystem Technology team is responsible for creating the products and integrations that make Cloudinary more valuable inside the platforms where customers already work. As a Staff Full-Stack Developer, you will help define the technical foundation for this strategy and directly influence how we expand into strategic ecosystems through software that is elegant, practical, and commercially meaningful.

You will join a team with a strong mandate, close connection to customers and partners, and the opportunity to build category-defining experiences from the ground up.
