Our Checkout Backend team is responsible for the complete order lifecycle, from customers first placing items into their baskets to handling the refund of a returned item weeks later. Between these two points, the team also interacts with a multitude of internal and external players, spanning from an in-house CRM team to the external B2B order broker and multiple payment providers in a variety of countries.
