Position Summary
We are seeking a Senior Engineer to own the technical implementation, architecture and support of interactive 3D product-configuration experiences — and, critically, their integration into the enterprise product-data and order ecosystem. This is not a rendering-only role. Success depends equally on a high-fidelity 3D front end and on translating each customer configuration into a correct, orderable SKU, Bill of Materials and price within SAP S/4HANA.
You will be the primary engineering owner for the configurator platform (Drive Commerce / WebGL) and its connections to the commerce platform (Salesforce Commerce Cloud), product lifecycle management (Centric PLM), the PIM / MDM layer (Precisely EnterWorks), integration middleware (webMethods), and downstream order management and fulfillment (Manhattan / WMS). In short: you make sure that what the customer configures on screen is exactly what gets priced, ordered, manufactured and shipped.
Key Responsibilities
3D Configurator Engineering
● Configurator ownership — Own end-to-end development of interactive 3D web configurators built on the Drive Commerce plugin-based JavaScript / WebGL framework (Three.js and / or Babylon.js).
● Performance — Deliver responsive, performant experiences across mobile and desktop against defined performance budgets for load time, frame rate and memory.
● Stability — Diagnose and resolve rendering, texture and canvas issues, including browser memory leaks and WebGL context loss.
● Technical leadership — Lead architecture, code review and feature delivery for real-time product personalization.
Configuration-to-Order Integration (core to this role)
● Recipe → SAP — Design and maintain the mapping from a customer’s 3D “recipe” to a valid, orderable outcome in SAP S/4HANA — resolving each configuration to the correct material / SKU, Bill of Materials and price, using SAP variant configuration / configurable materials and made-to-order flows as applicable.
● Master-data sync — Keep the configurator’s variant / option matrix in sync with master data governed in Centric PLM and Precisely EnterWorks, so options, prices and availability stay accurate.
● End-to-end flow — Build and maintain integrations across the commerce platform, middleware (webMethods / APIs), OMS and fulfillment (Manhattan), delivering accurate build sheets, pick lists and BOMs to manufacturing.
● Availability logic — Implement made-to-order availability and lead-time logic in the configuration experience (finished-product availability and lead times, not raw-material inventory).
Data, Pricing & Accuracy
● Data contracts — Establish stable data contracts (JSON payloads, catalog indexes, option and price models) between the front end and back-end systems.
● Accuracy — Ensure price and SKU accuracy end to end, so the configured price and product match what is ordered, invoiced and manufactured.
● Color fidelity — Implement ICC-based color management so on-screen color matches the manufactured product across materials, thread, print and engraving.
● Moderation — Implement personalization safeguards — profanity and trademark / brand moderation on custom text and uploaded logos.
Asset & Pipeline Collaboration
● Asset workflows — Partner with 3D design / asset teams (internal or agency) to translate high-fidelity CAD / mesh assets into optimized web assets, communicating payload, texture and performance constraints. Deep 3D artistry and shader authoring are a plus, not the primary function of this role.
● Versioning — Maintain versioned asset and configuration pipelines with clear release control.
Quality, Performance & Support
● Metrics — Define and monitor performance and quality metrics (Core Web Vitals, frame rate, error rates, uptime) and act on regressions.
● Accessibility — Ensure configurator experiences meet accessibility standards (WCAG 2.x).
● Reusability — Drive reusability through modular components, presets and templates; support documentation, onboarding and engineering standards.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related technical discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant e-commerce storefront and / or product-configurator development.
- Hands-on experience with web-based 3D graphics — WebGL with Three.js and / or Babylon.js — including performance optimization and browser memory management.
- Demonstrated experience integrating a storefront or configurator with enterprise back-end systems — ERP (ideally SAP), PLM and / or PIM / MDM — covering product master data, pricing and BOM / order flows. This is the key differentiator for the role.
- Strong JavaScript / TypeScript and modern front-end framework experience (React or Next.js; Vue acceptable), REST / GraphQL API design and state management.
- Experience delivering complex visual and commerce software within cross-functional agile teams.
- Drive Commerce Customizer / 3D Configurator Platform and Drive Recipe API, or a comparable configurator platform.
- Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFRA / OCAPI / cartridges), or an equivalent enterprise commerce platform.
- SAP integration experience — variant configuration / configurable materials, material master, pricing and BOM; integration middleware such as webMethods.
- Centric PLM and / or Precisely EnterWorks, or comparable PLM / PIM / MDM platforms.
- Manhattan or comparable WMS / order-fulfillment integration.
- ICC color management and personalization / customization commerce experience (imprint, embroidery, engraving, monogramming).
- Front-end & 3D: JavaScript / TypeScript, WebGL, Three.js / Babylon.js, React / Next.js, shaders and materials (working knowledge), responsive UX, browser performance profiling.
- Integration & data: REST / GraphQL APIs, JSON / XML transforms, event and middleware patterns (webMethods or similar), product-data and SKU / variant modeling, pricing models.
- Commerce & ERP: SFCC (or equivalent), SAP product and order concepts (variant configuration, material master, BOM, pricing), OMS / WMS order flows.
- Tooling: Git / GitHub, Jira, CI / CD (Azure DevOps or similar), Webpack / Vite, Postman; AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot).
Preferred Certifications
● Salesforce Certified B2C Commerce Developer.
● Relevant 3D / WebGL or cloud developer certifications (e.g., AWS or Azure Associate).
● Certified Scrum Master (CSM).
