About Famous Cigars

Famous Cigars has roots as Famous Smoke Shop-PA, Inc. and has been part of the premium cigar industry since 1939. What began as a small family business has grown into a respected name across retail, catalog, e-commerce, and hospitality. Based in Easton, PA, we are known for our product knowledge, customer service, and the experience we create for our customers.

The Opportunity

Famous Cigars is seeking a hands-on E-Commerce Back-End Developer to help own and improve the technology behind our online commerce platform. This role is centered on PHP and Magento 2/Adobe Commerce back-end development, including custom modules, APIs, integrations, MySQL, performance, deployments, and production support.

This is a strong fit for a developer who enjoys solving practical business problems across commerce, data, ERP integrations, order flow, and customer experience. It is not primarily a front-end role, although working JavaScript knowledge is required for troubleshooting and cross-functional development work.

What You Will Do

• Build, maintain, and enhance Magento 2/Adobe Commerce back-end functionality using PHP.

• Develop custom modules, services, cron jobs, integrations, API endpoints, and automated business processes.

• Work with SQL/MySQL to troubleshoot data, improve queries, support reporting, and maintain data integrity.

• Use XML, dependency injection, events/observers, plugins, and established Magento development patterns.

• Develop and support GraphQL and REST APIs connecting Magento with NetSuite, Celigo or similar middleware, payment, loyalty, CMS, marketing, and operational systems.

• Manage PHP dependencies with Composer and development environments with Docker.

• Use Git, pull requests, code review, testing, and deployment workflows to deliver reliable changes.

• Troubleshoot production issues across application, database, API, and integration layers and complete root-cause analysis.

• Improve caching, indexing, query efficiency, API performance, platform reliability, and overall e-commerce performance.

• Use working JavaScript knowledge to troubleshoot storefront behavior and collaborate with front-end developers.

• Partner with IT and business teams to turn operational needs into practical, maintainable technical solutions.

Required Experience and Skills

• 3-6+ years of professional back-end web development experience; production e-commerce experience strongly preferred.

• Strong PHP development experience.

• Hands-on Magento 2/Adobe Commerce back-end development experience.

• Strong SQL/MySQL skills, including joins, query analysis, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.

• Experience with XML configuration, GraphQL APIs, and REST APIs.

• Experience with Composer, Docker, and Git.

• Working JavaScript knowledge.

• Strong production troubleshooting, debugging, root-cause analysis, and communication skills.

Helpful Experience

• NetSuite, Celigo or similar middleware, ERP, payment, loyalty, CMS, or marketing-system integrations.

• Adobe Commerce Cloud, CI/CD, Linux, AWS, GCP, Redis, Varnish, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, message queues, or Magento indexing and caching.

• Large product catalogs, inventory, pricing, promotions, checkout, orders, fulfillment, and reporting workflows.

• React, Next.js, headless commerce, GraphCommerce, PWA Studio, Hyva, or similar front-end frameworks.

• E-commerce security, privacy, PCI, and secure coding practices.

Location and Schedule

• On-site Monday through Friday at our Easton, PA headquarters.

• Core business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

• Occasional flexibility may be needed for deployments, critical deadlines, or urgent production issues.

• On-call coverage may occasionally include evenings, weekends, or holidays.

• A hybrid schedule may be considered for the right highly qualified candidate after discussion; this role is not fully remote.

Why Join Famous Cigars

• Competitive compensation and benefits.

• Meaningful ownership of Magento, PHP, database, integration, and production-support work.

• Direct impact on customer experience, site reliability, checkout, and internal operations.

• Cross-functional exposure and long-term platform growth opportunities.
