Role
Who you are
- 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
Desirable
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- 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
- 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
Application 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
Our take
Founded in 2014, Havenly Brands has grown to be a major player in the online interior design space. It operates the brands Havenly, Interior Define, Burrow, The Citizenry, The Inside and St. Frank - delivering ways for people to more easily make their spaces their own.
One of the ways it does this is by connecting consumers with professional interior designers and product purchase recommendations through the Havenly platform. These consultations put the company ahead of simple visualization services, by making what is typically an inaccessible service affordable to more people.
Along with the sector at large, Havenly Brands has seen a healthy upswing in recent years. As it continues to build out its family of brands, its unique approach to the interior design business could see it win big.
