ROLE_OVERVIEW
What you'll own
Delivery across five brand storefronts on Shopify Hydrogen, Shopify Liquid, and Magento: a steady, well-prioritized flow of site updates, integrations, and fixes.
The reliability of those storefronts and the third-party integrations behind them: payments, feeds, analytics, marketing tools, and ERP/OMS (NetSuite).
Intake and prioritization with the business, turning merchandising, marketing, and operations requests into shipped work.
The team itself: code review, standards, coaching, and helping engineers take on more.
How the team uses AI to move faster without lowering the quality bar.
Real problems you'll work on
Help lead the migration of our brands onto Shopify, consolidating onto a single platform over the coming year.
Keep five storefronts and their integrations stable, with few surprises and fast recovery when something breaks.
Shorten the turnaround on site updates and requests from the business.
Level up the team's practices and output, with AI as a real part of how they build.
What success looks like
In 90 days: you know the brands, the stack, and the team, you're shipping alongside them, and you've tightened how work comes in and gets prioritized.
In a year: turnaround on business requests is faster, the sites are more stable, the team's practices and output have stepped up, and the engineers on it have grown.
How we work with AI
AI is central to how we build, and we're investing heavily in it, well beyond writing code or automating a few tasks.
We're building our own internal harness so real engineering work, like error resolution, bug fixes, and feature enhancements, can run around the clock with agents, not only during business hours.
Engineers use Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor every day.
We want a leader who pushes this forward, designs how the team works with agents, reviews what they produce against the requirements, and keeps the quality bar high.
Must-haves
You're a strong, hands-on engineer who still wants to be in the code while leading a team.
You have deep, hands-on experience building and running ecommerce platforms, with Shopify as the primary requirement (Hydrogen and Liquid). Magento experience is a plus.
You're full-stack across the surrounding systems: APIs, third-party integrations, feeds, and payments.
You've led or mentored engineers and can raise a team's bar, coach people, and improve how they work.
You're strong at prioritization and clear communication with non-technical partners.
You use AI to build and review code and to speed up the team.
Nice to have
Experience replatforming or migrating ecommerce sites, ideally onto Shopify.
Multi-brand or multi-storefront commerce experience.
Experience with feed and catalog systems and ERP/OMS (NetSuite) integrations.
Experience leading a distributed team.
