E-commerce platform for SMBs across Central Europe with integrated payments
Shoptet operates a SaaS e-commerce platform serving 44,000+ active merchants across Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary. The tech stack reflects a mature, payments-forward architecture: PHP + Nette backend, Node.js + TypeScript frontend, MariaDB + Redis for transactional data, and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch for search. Current hiring momentum is split between product (design system, template generation) and engineering (payment scaling, marketplace expansion), with active pain points around localization compliance and multi-region scaling—signals of aggressive geographic expansion beyond core markets.
