Prodigi is the leading global print-on-demand platform, enabling businesses to scale their operations through streamlined supply chains and maximised profits. Founded in 2014, we ranked 14th on the Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100 list of the UK's fastest-growing companies.
With a worldwide network of over 50 production facilities across 10 countries, including our own production facilities, we support creators, enterprises and increasingly AI-driven agents who expect a system that can take any image, turn it into any product, and fulfil it anywhere in the world.
About the role
We’re hiring a senior technical leader to shape the architecture of Prodigi’s core platform. You’ll work hands-on in C#/.NET while defining the structures, service boundaries and system patterns that support our next-generation product: an API-first unified product creation, management and publishing engine.
Your work will directly influence how all merchants, integrations and AI agents interact with Prodigi. You’ll focus on correctness, robustness, data integrity and long-term simplicity across systems that underpin millions of orders.
This is a role for someone who wants architectural responsibility, not just feature delivery.
What you’ll do
You’ll be shaping the foundations of a platform used by thousands of merchants and numerous integrations. Your work will influence our shipping engine, global routing logic, product creation pipelines, image processing, migration away from legacy stacks and the evolution of our public API.
This is an opportunity to define the technical blueprint for Prodigi’s next decade.
Drive platform architecture
1. Define and evolve the architecture for our unified product and fulfilment platform.
2. Lead the technical design of new versions of our public API: domain boundaries, event flows, versioning, service interactions
3. Shape internal service design: caching, messaging, error handling, consistency, observability
Build core backend systems
4. Design and implement backend services in C#/.NET that handle product modelling, shipping logic, routing and image/asset flows
5. Improve the robustness, clarity and consistency of core data models
Enable the product vision
6. Translate strategic goals into clear architectural direction for engineering
7. Work closely with Product to ensure designs scale across product creation, publishing and multi-channel integrations
8. Mentor engineers and set technical standards for the wider team
Improve quality and resilience
9. Reduce complexity by refining and refactoring legacy components
10. Establish patterns that lower defects and operational overhead
11. Enhance logs, metrics, diagnosis and reliability across APIs and internal systems
What we’re looking for
Strong architectural capability
12. Deep experience designing and building distributed systems in .NET
13. Ability to define domain models and service boundaries for complex transactional platforms
14. Experience modernising or consolidating systems into clean, long-lived architectures
15. Strong grasp of eventing, queues, async flows and API design
Hands-on technical depth
16. Expert-level C# and .NET
17. Strong understanding of cloud services (Azure preferred)
18. Solid SQL and data modelling
19. Comfortable building, testing and operating production services
Engineering leadership
20. Ability to set direction and provide technical mentorship
21. Confidence to challenge assumptions and propose simpler architectures
22. Ownership mindset in complex environments
Nice to have
23. Experience in e-commerce, fulfilment, logistics or multi-tenant platforms
24. Experience building image-driven or asset-driven products
25. Familiarity with event-sourcing, DDD or service-oriented design
26. Interest in generative-AI driven commerce integrations
What we offer
27. Competitive salary (dependent on experience).
28. 25 days holiday per year, plus one additional day off for your birthday.
29. Company pension scheme (4% employer contribution, 5% employee contribution).
30. Healthcare cash plan.
31. Spec your own development machine
32. A charity day per year to volunteer at a recognised charity.
33. The opportunity to work in a dynamic and fast-growing business at the forefront of the print-on-demand industry.
Location
This role is fully remote, with the team distributed across the UK and three international timezones. However we do have an engineering hub based in Cardiff and so South West and Wales would be preferred.
