Senior Engineer - 3D Product Configurator & Commerce Integration

Drive Commerce / WebGL, integrated with SAP S/4HANA, Centric PLM and PIM/MDM

This role sits within our enterprise retail practice, supporting a premium consumer-products brand's direct-to-consumer personalization program - where customers configure personalized products (imprinting, embroidery, laser engraving, monogramming, and color / material options) through interactive 3D experiences that must flow cleanly into an SAP S/4HANA-based commerce and manufacturing backbone.

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.
• Support - Provide production support for the configurator and its integrations.

Required Qualifications

• 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.

Preferred / Strongly Desired

• 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 web Methods.
• Centric PLM and / or Precisely Enter Works, 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).

Technical Skills

• 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).

Success Measures (first 6-12 months)

• Performance - The configurator meets performance targets - Largest Contentful Paint and Core Web Vitals within target on mid-tier mobile, and a stable target frame rate under full option load.
• Configuration-to-order accuracy - A defined, high percentage of configurations resolve to the correct SAP material / SKU, BOM and price with no manual correction.
• Price accuracy - The configured price matches the ordered and invoiced price.
• Reliability - Low configurator error and defect rates in production, and high uptime for the configurator and its integrations.
• Fidelity & safeguards - On-screen color matches manufactured output within agreed tolerance, and personalization moderation prevents disallowed content.
• Scalability - Reusable components and clear documentation reduce time-to-launch for new configurable products.

Core Competencies

• Bridges front-end 3D engineering and enterprise commerce / ERP integration.
• Strong systems thinking across product data, pricing and order flows.
• Performance and memory debugging in the browser.
• Clear communication with creative, commerce and ERP / data teams.
• Ownership of and accountability for accuracy from configuration to manufactured product.
• Rapidly learns and integrates new interactive and integration technologies.
