This is us in a nutshell:

  • We are singularly focused on providing all the tools and building blocks our customers need to deliver outstanding online shopping experiences and innovation across all digital touchpoints.
  • In 2013 we introduced a modular, API-first cloud-native commerce platform, pioneering the headless commerce space and enabling us to build the foundation to change our whole industry for the better and re-invent ecommerce.
  • Our international expansion has reached Europe, the US and Asia Pacific. In September 2021, we announced our $140m series C funding round led by global tech investor Accel, alongside existing investors Insight Partners and REWE Group, which has accelerated our global growth and elevated us to unicorn status. We are now valued at $1.9bn, named a Leader in the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Commerce for the second year in a row.

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.
