Job Description
Director of Engineering role focused on Shopify Plus and Recharge-powered eCommerce experiences.
Overview
The Director of Engineering will lead the engineering efforts behind our Shopify Plus and Recharge-powered eCommerce experience. This role is ideal for a senior-level developer who has transitioned into technical leadership—someone who can still write high-quality code while guiding both internal and external engineering partners.
You will be responsible for front-end and back-end development, architecture, and performance, bringing the vision of our growth, product, and customer experience teams to life. This role is strictly focused on engineering and does not include IT-related responsibilities (e.g., device management, internal systems, help desk support).
Responsibilities
- Architect and build scalable, high-performance Shopify Plus storefronts using custom Liquid, Hydrogen, React, and Next.js
- Lead development of Recharge subscription flows, API-based enhancements, and checkout customizations
- Own and evolve our eCommerce codebase, ensuring clean, maintainable code and version control best practices
- Drive continuous optimization across site speed, SEO, and mobile responsiveness
Technical Project Ownership
- Translate cross-functional goals into clear technical requirements and timelines
- Collaborate with growth, retention, and CX teams to ship features that boost conversion, LTV, and customer satisfaction
- Implement and maintain pixel/event tracking infrastructure for analytics and marketing teams (GA4, Meta, etc.)
- Guide third-party dev agencies and freelance engineers to ensure timely, high-quality delivery
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Serve as the technical expert for projects involving site experience, retention features, and integrations with third-party tools (Klaviyo, Loop Returns, Zendesk, Postscript, etc.)
- Partner with Product and Marketing on A/B testing, landing page builds, and funnel experimentation
- Ensure smooth data flow and performance visibility from ad click to checkout to subscription renewal
Education & Experience
- 10+ years of hands-on experience as a front-end or full-stack developer
- 7+ years of experience working specifically in Shopify Plus and Recharge environments
- Proven experience owning Shopify storefront builds end-to-end, including headless implementations
- Strong track record of cross-functional collaboration in DTC or eCommerce companies
Skills & Abilities
- Skilled in working with Shopify APIs, Recharge APIs, and custom app integrations
- Strong knowledge of pixel architecture, event tracking, and tagging frameworks (GA4, Meta, TikTok)
- Comfortable operating in a high-growth, fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
- Passion for clean code, fast sites, happy customers, and results-driven engineering
This is a remote position.
