\nCOVID 19 UPDATE: \n\nWe have leaned into the current health crisis with the development of new features like Volusion Curbside. Since March, we have hired more than a dozen new Volusioneers with no signs of slowing down. We are actively interviewing for key roles in order to keep up with our product roadmap goals. During these unprecedented times Volusion continues to provide stability and growth opportunities to our employees and merchants alike.\n\nWe are doing our part to flatten the curve so for the time being all interviews will be conducted virtually. As a company ALL employees are currently working remotely.\n\nLocation Flexible:\n\nIf “Location Flexible” is listed in the job title of a role, the role can be located in any of the states where Volusion is authorized to do business. Please work with your recruiter to understand any location constraints of a particular role and to communicate your location preferences.\n\nThe rundown:\n\nWe are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer that is all about building quality.

We want great solutions that exhibit creativity, address our customers’ needs, and allow you to flex your programming muscles.\n\n* Move fast: We like to go! Failure is not getting something wrong; it’s taking so long to get something right that we miss an opportunity.
