Copart UK Ltd are seeking an experienced Software Engineer to join our IT Department at our Head Office in Wootton, Bedford MK439EJ.
Your initial focus will be to rebuild and maintain our customer-facing website using Shopify, ensuring a pixel-perfect, high-quality front end. Beyond this project, you will play a key role in developing Java/Spring Boot middleware to integrate and support our e-commerce operations and other business platforms. As our technology evolves, you will also contribute to other projects, including building React applications-particularly if we move to a headless e-commerce architecture. You will collaborate closely with teams across the business, delivering robust, scalable, and visually stunning solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Work closely with stakeholders to gather and clarify website and platform requirements.
- Design, develop, and maintain e-commerce-based websites, ensuring pixel-perfect front-end implementations, excellent user experience, and top-tier performance.
- Build and maintain middleware using Java and Spring Boot to support integrations and backend processes.
- Support and troubleshoot customer-facing websites and middleware, resolving issues efficiently.
- Integrate internal and external APIs to extend website and platform functionality.
- Contribute to React-based application development, both for headless e-commerce and other business projects.
- Collaborate with teams in both the UK and US to deliver consistent technical solutions.
- Stay current with best practices in web development, e-commerce platforms, Java/Spring Boot, React, and related technologies.
Required Skills & Experience
- Demonstrable experience building pixel-perfect front ends with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Solid experience with Java and Spring Boot for backend and middleware development.
- Experience with React for building modern, scalable web applications.
- Experience using version control systems (e.g., GitHub or similar).
- Understanding of SEO principles and web performance optimisation.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Strong eye for UX/UI design and website aesthetics.
- Collaborative attitude with the ability to build rapport across teams.
- Eagerness to learn and expand your technical skillset.
- Experience integrating RESTful APIs and authentication methods.
- Basic knowledge of SQL and database management.
Desirable Skills (Not Essential)
- Commercial experience developing and maintaining websites for e-commerce platforms (such as Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, or similar).
- Experience with headless e-commerce architectures and APIs (e.g., Shopify Hydrogen, Storefront API, Magento PWA Studio).
- Familiarity with a range of CMS and e-commerce platforms.
- Exposure to automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.
- Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG).
- Experience with serverless architectures or cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure).
