Hire senior ecommerce developers and AI pod teams

Senior engineers who build storefronts, checkout, catalog and order management for online retailers and brands, plus AI pod teams for search and support AI.

Hiring ecommerce developers through Ryz gets you senior Latin American engineers who have built storefronts, checkouts and order systems that hold up on the busiest day of the year. They are top 1% of the engineers we interview, they embed in your team and repos, and they work within an hour of US time zones. For AI in search, merchandising or support, we staff dedicated AI pod teams.

What we build for ecommerce and retail teams

Ecommerce engineering is a constant trade between speed and stability: marketing wants new experiences every week, while checkout and inventory must never break. Retailers and brands need engineers who can work across platforms, custom services and data. Our engineers work on:

Our AI pod teams have shipped production AI in other industries that applies directly to retail: AI fraud detection for a global fleet company that has scored more than 244,000 invoices, and an AI driver-support agent that handles conversations in three languages. See our case studies.

Domain skills we vet for

Ryz does not certify your PCI DSS compliance or accessibility. Our engineers work within these requirements alongside your security and legal teams.

Staff augmentation or an AI pod team?

Staff augmentation is the usual choice for ecommerce teams. You have a platform and a roadmap, and you need senior engineers to ship faster: a Shopify developer, a checkout engineer or a front-end developer for a headless rebuild. They join your squads and release process.

An AI pod team makes sense when you want a specific AI capability built and measured, such as semantic search that lifts conversion, a support agent that resolves order questions or a forecasting system for buyers. The pod is a dedicated team with a tech lead and ML and backend engineers that works in your cloud and ships weekly.

Ryz is not the right fit if you need a quick theme change from a freelancer this week, or if you want published self-serve pricing before talking to anyone.

Why Latin American engineers

Latin America is home to some of the largest ecommerce marketplaces and retail platforms in the world, and the region's engineers have built for high traffic, complex logistics and many payment methods. That experience transfers well to US retailers and direct-to-consumer brands.

Launches, promotions and incidents happen on US time. Engineers working within an hour of your team can watch a sale go live with you, fix a broken checkout before the morning rush ends and join merchandising meetings in real time.

Yes, and earlier is better. Tell us your code-freeze date when we scope the team so new engineers ramp up before traffic peaks.
