Senior Magento Developer - Brazil-Based

Why we are hiring

Within the Zoocha Group, we want to formalise our Magento service offering in response to growing demand from both new and existing clients. Our team already includes developers with Magento experience, who are keen to work on integrating Magento e-commerce with Drupal platforms. This builds on our heritage in e-commerce and established reputation in Drupal development, hosting, and support, as well as our recent venture into native mobile application development under the Mobitronica brand.

By creating a dedicated e-commerce business unit with specialist Magento skills within Zoocha Group, we will better meet the expectations of clients who want a single partner to support multiple technologies across their digital ecosystem. With specialised teams for Magento and Drupal, we can ensure high-quality integration that fuses commerce and content in engaging ways, delivering added value for our clients. This move reinforces Zoocha’s position as a strategic digital partner, rather than merely a specialist provider.
