Company mission
To create a world where payments are frictionless, and help merchants grow faster.
Role
Who you are
- If you love solving hard problems, writing clean code, and helping customers unlock the full power of a platform — you’ll fit right in
- Bachelor’s degree in a Technical or Business field (Computer Science, Engineering, or related preferred)
- 2+ years of experience leading technical implementation or integration projects in SaaS or eCommerce environments
- Hands-on front-end coding experience — strong working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; experience with templating frameworks (Liquid, Handlebars, etc.) a plus
- Proficiency with APIs — able to design, implement, and debug RESTful integrations, including authentication and data mapping
- Familiarity with development and debugging tools such as Postman, Chrome DevTools, and Git
- Experience with Salesforce, Atlassian Suite (Jira, Confluence), and SaaS project management tools
- Strong data fluency — comfortable with spreadsheets, formulas, and macros for tracking and analysis
- Awareness of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Cursor) and enthusiasm for using them to boost efficiency and creativity
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for both developers and non-technical stakeholders
Desirable
- Prior experience working in eCommerce, payments, or a subscription-based SaaS environment
- Exposure to Shopify or other major eCommerce platforms
- Experience mentoring others or contributing to technical documentation and internal tooling
What the job involves
- At Recharge, we’re on a mission to make payments simple and subscriptions seamless for merchants everywhere
- As an Implementation Engineer, you’ll be the technical lead helping merchants bring their subscription vision to life
- You’ll partner closely with merchants and internal teams to plan, build, and launch solutions that are both technically sound and optimized for growth
- This role sits at the intersection of front-end development, API solutioning, and project leadership
- You’ll collaborate with developers and business stakeholders to design best-in-class implementations, troubleshoot complex integration challenges, and ensure every launch sets the foundation for long-term success
- Please note: this is a hybrid role, based out of our Toronto office (downtown in the Core)
- 3 days a week in the office is expected
- Lead full-cycle technical implementations — from scoping to launch — ensuring each project is delivered on time, on spec, and with a high bar for quality
- Design and deliver scalable technical solutions that combine Recharge APIs, SDKs, and front-end frameworks to power subscription commerce experiences
- Write, review, and guide front-end development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and templating frameworks like Liquid) to support custom storefront and checkout experiences
- Collaborate directly with merchant developers to integrate Recharge into existing tech stacks, troubleshoot issues, and align on architecture decisions
- Serve as a technical advisor, helping merchants and internal teams understand platform capabilities, API workflows, and integration best practices
- Develop and document repeatable patterns, tools, and code snippets that improve implementation speed and consistency
- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to streamline the merchant journey and identify product and process improvement opportunities
Our take
Ecommerce 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 eCommerce 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 forwards.
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.
