About The Position

This role is for an Engineering Team Lead focused on Owned & Operated E-commerce platforms. The lead will be responsible for the delivery and reliability of five brand storefronts built on Shopify Hydrogen, Shopify Liquid, and Magento. This includes managing a steady flow of site updates, integrations, and fixes, as well as ensuring the stability of third-party integrations such as payments, feeds, analytics, marketing tools, and ERP/OMS (NetSuite). The position involves intake and prioritization of requests from business stakeholders, turning them into shipped work. A key aspect of the role is leading the engineering team itself, which includes code review, setting standards, coaching, and fostering engineer growth. The team lead will also explore and implement AI to enhance productivity and quality. Key responsibilities include leading the migration of brands onto Shopify, maintaining the stability of five storefronts and their integrations, and shortening the turnaround time for site updates and business requests. Success in this role means understanding the brands, stack, and team within 90 days, shipping code alongside the team, and improving work intake and prioritization. Within a year, the goal is to achieve faster turnaround times for business requests, increased site stability, improved team practices and output, and professional growth for the engineers on the team. AI is central to the company's development process, with significant investment beyond basic coding tasks. The company is building an internal harness for AI agents to handle engineering work like error resolution, bug fixes, and feature enhancements around the clock. Engineers regularly use AI tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. The ideal candidate will be a leader who drives AI adoption, designs how the team collaborates with AI agents, reviews AI-generated output, and maintains a high-quality bar.
