If you're the kind of developer who enjoys solving complex problems, building slick digital experiences, and leading from the front - this could be your next challenge.

This growing online retailer (we can't name names, but you've almost definitely shopped with them) is looking for a Senior / Tech Lead Software Engineer to help shape the next generation of their eCommerce platform. You'll guide a small talented development team, take ownership of key projects, be no.2 to the Head of Engineering and make a real impact on how millions of customers shop online.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading software development projects from concept to delivery.
• Designing scalable, high-performing architectures that keep things running smoothly.
• Mentoring and supporting developers across the team.
• Collaborating with stakeholders to plan, improve, and implement new features and systems.
• You'll bring solid experience designing and implementing clean integration patterns connecting modern cloud services, APIs, and data flows to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

What they're after:

• Strong eCommerce development experience and a solid grasp of back-end services and data exchange patterns.
• Great leadership skills - you'll enjoy bringing people together and helping them do their best work.
• Proficiency with TypeScript, Node.js, and serverless cloud-native solutions (especially AWS).

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with BigCommerce, Bloomreach, or warehouse/fulfilment systems.

Perks:

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Flexible hours and hybrid working.
• A collaborative environment where your ideas actually get built, not buried.

If you love clean code, clever architecture, and making tech that scales beautifully - this is a role where you can really leave your mark.
