About this role

Our retail platform is scaling across multiple brands and needs a senior engineer to own a service area end-to-end. As Software Engineer (Team Lead), you will set technical direction, write production code daily, and raise the bar for developers around you. You will serve as the technical owner for a core area of our retail service cloud.

In your first 6–12 months, success means shipping meaningful improvements, replacing targeted legacy services, and establishing clear technical standards. This is a lean team where you will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility. You will design approaches, contribute code, and mentor engineers while driving the roadmap.

Daily work involves reading and writing code alongside the team, identifying technical challenges across the stack, and optimizing the overall platform. You will plan product roadmaps, triage sprint tickets, and push back on requests when technical tradeoffs demand it. The environment celebrates craftsmanship, flexibility, and opportunity in tech.

Builders thrive here by taking ownership and seeing direct impact. Your technical decisions will shape services powering multiple brands across the portfolio. Join a culture that showcases employee stories and promotes growth through storytelling and inspired living.
