Role
Who you are
- Prior experience shipping production software (preferably recently as an independent contributor)
- Comfort in React or Python codebases (preferably both!)
- Someone who reads the code, not just the ticket
- A bias to action - low tolerance for ambiguity sitting unresolved - you make the calls and move
- Genuine curiosity about how LLMs and AI tooling are changing how engineers work
What the job involves
- Recharge is looking for a hands-on engineering leader that will work with a squad of engineers focused on continually improving our merchant’s end user experience
- You will be responsible for two squads - one working with data analytics products and experience and another focused on design systems and our merchant portal
- You will be responsible for helping prioritize delivering new features, ensuring compliance with design patterns and continually leveling up your direct reports
- You will be expected to stay close to the work. That means reading code, having opinions in MR reviews and knowing the difference between a hard problem and a stuck engineer
- This is a cross-functional role. You’ll work across product, design, and data to keep things moving, build consensus when the path isn’t clear, and hold a high bar for quality and stability. You’ve shipped software before - that background isn’t a nice-to-have - it's how you earn trust with your team and make good calls under pressure
- We’re also at an inflection point with AI tooling. We expect you to lean into that - not as a trend to acknowledge, but as a real opportunity to scale how a team works. If you’ve been actively experimenting with LLMs in your workflow, we want to hear about it
- Directly manage 6 engineers across two squads with distinct technical profiles
- Stay engaged in MRs, technical decisions and day-to-day engineering quality
- Actively unblock engineers - technically and organizationally
- Partner cross-functionally with product and stakeholders while protecting team focus and quality
- Experiment with and help establish AI tooling practices that scale your team’s output
Application process
- Application window anticipated to close: 6/01/2026. If you’re interested in this opportunity, please submit an application as soon as possible
Our take
E-commerce platform Recharge has been in operation since 2014, helping brands set up and manage a subscription business, removing the operational inefficiencies that brands would face when attempting to manage this themselves. Its cloud-based subscription management platform aims to offer merchants flexibility by leading with an API focus.
Recharge’s basic premise has proven a smart one, with the e-commerce subscription market growing substantially since the company was founded. It, of course, rose particularly steeply over the pandemic, with the closure of brick-and-mortar stores, but in general still follows a market trend towards direct-to-consumer relationships, promising a growing market for Recharge going forward.
Success for the company has been clear, with its merchant roster boasting several thousand users, including Harry’s, Oatly, and BrewDog. The sector has attracted substantial funding, with Recharge completing a remarkable funding round in 2021. This came atop its already stable, cash-flow-positive business and supported its further progress as the subscription industry developed. The company is focused on maintaining its strong position, with new updates and improvements to its offering, including Retain, a suite of tools designed to support retention throughout the subscriber lifecycle.
