This is an opportunity to own the entire tech strategy – from architecture and engineering culture to process excellence and innovation delivery – in a dynamic, product-driven business with ambitious plans and a clear path to growth.
? Location: Remote-first with UK HQ – some travel for collaboration may be required

This isn’t about maintaining the status quo. The company is scaling rapidly and looking to tech as a core differentiator. Your remit will span technical vision, cross-functional team leadership, engineering excellence, and next-gen innovation, particularly in automation, AI integration, and cloud-first architecture.
You’ll lead a diverse, distributed tech operation – in-house, third-party, near-shore – covering Shopify, integrations, and custom platforms. If you're comfortable in complexity, unafraid of scaling challenges, and fluent in the balance between commercial outcomes and engineering craft, you’ll thrive here.
?️ What You'll Own:
Define and deliver the technical vision and engineering roadmap aligned with commercial goals
Oversee the SDLC across multiple tech stacks, continuously improving Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD maturity
Guide solution architecture across complex e-commerce and integration projects
Drive engineering team structure, quality standards, and technical documentation excellence
Partner cross-functionally with delivery leads, product, and client stakeholders to ensure tech outcomes match commercial and user expectations
Lead third-party engineering partnerships, including nearshore vendor management
Incorporate AI and automation into workflows to drive operational efficiencies (targeting 30% gains)
Represent technology in client governance, pitches, strategic boards, and leadership meetings
? What You’ll Bring:
Proven experience in senior engineering leadership roles – ideally within high-growth e-commerce or omnichannel environments
Deep experience building scalable, secure cloud-based architectures
Commercial and strategic acumen – able to align technical decisions with business outcomes
Demonstrated success managing budgets, supplier relationships, and distributed teams
Hands-on knowledge of modern tech stacks, compliance frameworks (GDPR, IP, etc.), and security best practices
Leadership mindset – you know how to build high-performance teams and inspire innovation across cultures and geographies
Practical exposure to Shopify, integrations, middleware, and platform engineering is a bonus
The Impact
You’ll be stepping into a critical, visible leadership role where your decisions will shape the company’s ability to scale, innovate, and serve top-tier clients across multiple sectors. You’ll be part of a senior leadership team that values clarity, challenge, creativity, and continuous growth.
