Engineering Team Lead, Owned & Operated E-commerce

About the role

• 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.
• Technologies we use
• AI: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and internal AI tools.
• Storefronts: Shopify Hydrogen (React Router, TypeScript) on Cloudflare/Oxygen, Shopify Liquid, Magento, Sanity CMS.
• Backend and data: PHP, Node/TypeScript, Python, GraphQL, dbt/Airflow, Snowflake.
• Commerce systems: NetSuite (ERP/OMS), product catalog and feeds, payments, analytics and marketing integrations.
• Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform, Docker.
• Interview process
• An initial phone screen, followed by two to three rounds of interviews with the team to confirm technical skill, personal fit, and role alignment.
• Additional details
• Location: this is a US-based role, open to remote candidates anywhere in the United States. Denver is a plus but not required.

Compensation

$150,000 to $180,000, depending on experience. This role is also eligible for company equity.

Benefits

• generous PTO, volunteer days off, medical, dental, vision, and disability coverage, a 401(k) with company match, free design services, furniture discounts, and merchandise credits.
