Staff Full-Stack Developer - Ecosystem Technology

We are looking for a Staff Full-Stack Developer to join our Ecosystem Technology team and help build strategic integrations, applications, and platform capabilities that connect Cloudinary to the systems our customers rely on most.

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.
