You will be responsible for both people leadership and delivery: shaping the direction of our ecommerce platforms, coaching engineers and leads, and ensuring we reliably ship high quality features that improve the online shopping experience and business outcomes
Lead and grow an ecommerce engineering team (15–20 people). Provide clear goals, regular feedback, and career development for engineers, and testers
Build a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning
Deliver high quality eCommerce features and services. Partner with business stakeholders to plan and deliver capabilities
Define and track KPIs (availability, performance, error rates, customer conversion and checkout success)
Balance short term delivery needs with long term platform and architecture improvements
Ensure continuous development, training, and coaching for team members (technical skills, agile practices, leadership)
Conduct regular 1:1s and performance reviews, and support growth paths for senior ICs and future leaders
Participate in hiring: role definition, interviews, and selection of new engineering talent
Ensure effective onboarding so new team members become productive quickly and feel part of the team
Monitor performance and productivity; address issues early, constructively, and fairly
Use metrics and feedback to identify improvement areas in both people and processes
Initiate and evolve SCRUM / Kanban based processes tailored to ecommerce delivery (short iterations, clear priorities, predictable delivery)
Drive continuous improvement in Operations to meet annual KPI and SLA targets (e.g., uptime, incident resolution time, defect rates)
Collaborate closely with SRE/operations teams where relevant. Take ownership in high impact incidents affecting ecommerce services (e.g., checkout issues, performance degradations)
Coordinate cross team communication, stakeholder updates, and clear post incident follow up

At least 4 years of experience in software development projects, application management, or in agile product development
Experience in eCommerce, retail, or other consumer facing digital products (e.g., checkout, payments, catalog, pricing, or similar transactional systems) is a strong advantage
At least 2 years of experience in people management (Team Lead, Engineering Manager or similar) with responsibility for hiring, performance, and development
