  • Participate in Agile ceremonies including refinement, sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives.

Required Skills:

Backend Development

  • Strong PHP development experience.
  • Strong experience with Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce architecture and development.
  • Experience building and supporting custom Magento modules, APIs, and integrations.
  • Strong understanding of object-oriented programming, design patterns, and software development best practices.

  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, etc.) to improve productivity, code quality, and problem-solving.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience working in B2B eCommerce environments.
  • Experience with Node.js development.
  • Experience with AWS services and cloud-hosted applications.
  • Ability and willingness to contribute to frontend development when needed.
  • Experience with JavaScript, Vue.js, Knockout.js, HTML, and CSS.
  • Experience with Docker and local development environments.
  • Experience diagnosing and resolving application performance issues, including API latency, database bottlenecks, caching strategies, and Magento performance optimization.
  • Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as New Relic, Datadog, CloudWatch, or similar platforms

About Us

Peterson Technology Partners (PTP) is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to creating a transparent, inclusive, and human-centered hiring experience.

For more than 28 years, PTP has operated as one of the top IT staffing and recruiting firms in the USA—built on trust, long-term partnerships, and technical excellence.

Based in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, IL, our team of more than 500 employees and consultants is dedicated to:

  • Helping every client make the best hiring decisions possible
  • Matching professionals with the right IT jobs and career opportunities

As part of that commitment, we believe in providing clear information about how our hiring technologies work and how your data is used. The following section outlines our AI-assisted interview process and your rights as a candidate.

AI-Assisted Interview Experience (Pete & Gabi – Rebecca):

To provide a consistent, fair, and flexible experience for all candidates, we use AI-assisted tools to support parts of the interview process. This includes our proprietary AI platform Pete & Gabi, which includes AI recruiter Rebecca.

These AI hiring tools help us:

  • Conduct recorded video interviews
  • Transcribe interviews
  • Summarize candidate responses
  • Generate job-related insights
  • Streamline communication and scheduling

Please note that:

  • The AI does NOT make hiring decisions; all decisions are made by our human recruiters, hiring managers, or client partners.
  • The AI does not evaluate facial expressions, emotions, or physical traits; it is used only to support fairness, consistency, and efficiency.

If you prefer a non-AI interview format, we will gladly provide an alternative.

Technical or Case Interviews (Role-Dependent):

When applying for certain tech jobs, you may participate in:

  • A technical interview
  • A coding challenge
  • A case study
  • A client-specific assessment

We will always explain what to expect in advance so you can prepare with confidence.

Human Review & Selection: +

Every candidate’s profile—including interviews, conversations, and assessments—is reviewed by experienced recruiters and hiring leaders.

AI insights may assist with organization and evaluation, but final decisions are always human-driven.

Your Rights as a Candidate: +

At PTP, every candidate has the right to:

  • Request a non-AI interview path
  • Ask how your data is being used
  • Request access to transcripts or interview recordings
  • Request deletion of your AI-recorded interview
  • Receive clear, timely communication

Our goal is to ensure you feel respected, informed, and supported throughout your experience.

For more than 28 years, PTP has focused on putting people first—candidates, consultants, employees, and clients.

We’re committed to a hiring process that is:

  • Transparent
  • Compliant
  • Equitable
  • Powered by innovative technology that enhances—not replaces—human judgment

We’re excited to learn more about you.

Equal Employment Opportunity: +
