Engineering Team Lead
(Remote / Hybrid)
Parttime/ Fulltime
Build, Lead, and Scale Our New In-House Tech Team
We’re growing fast. After years of outsourcing, we’re now building our own in-house development team to take control of our product, accelerate our buy-&-build strategy, and deliver on an endless roadmap.
If you love leading from the front: part captain, part senior engineer, this might be your next adventure.
What you’ll work on
You’ll lead a small but growing development team and work closely with an experienced Product Owner and report directly to our IT Manager. Your own hands-on work will be mostly back-end, but you’re comfortable moving across the full stack when needed.
Our platform uses a modern composable setup:
BigCommerce, Netsuite, Akeneo, Prismic, Channable, Klaviyo
Custom integration layer in .NET (C#)
React + Redux + Tailwind for the front-end
Hosted across Azure and Fly.io
