An Insider's view of commercetools

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Coming from companies where taking time off was frowned upon, it was a novel idea for me to hear that if I wasn't feeling well or if I just needed some time to recover, not only could I take the time necessary to be at my best, but it was encouraged! I am so grateful to be at a company that values the work I do as well as the human that I am.

Ed Davis

Customer Success Manager

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

My team focuses on producing content that helps business and tech leaders understand what composable commerce is, why it matters, and the benefits it offers. We’re constantly looking for new ways to show our audience how modern composable solutions can enable them to keep up with the rapidly changing world of digital commerce.
