📋 Description

• Own the Retail Technical Strategy: Mandate to move beyond siloed feature development to build a unified, extensible retail core that supports a wide variety of retail personas at scale • Architect for Resilience: Ensure high availability and blazing fast performance at the edge; you will oversee the infrastructure that keeps our high-volume retailers up and running regardless of connectivity • Deploy Autonomous Systems: Lead the move from manual and labor-intensive inventory management to AI-driven autonomous systems, saving hours of time and unlocking new operational efficiencies for thousands of customers • Raise Talent Density: Uplevel the engineering organization by identifying and attracting top-tier talent and coaching existing managers to operate as high-autonomy owners • Own the Outcome: Partner with Product and Design to drive the P&L of the Retail business, managing the immediate delivery of the Retail POS and Purchasing & Receiving squads while developing a long-term strategy for the Grocery persona

🎯 Requirements

• Platform-First Mindset: You have a track record of building configurable platforms rather than just collections of features • Systems Architect Background: Deep experience with distributed systems and edge computing. You know how to build software that is bulletproof in high-pressure, real-world physical environments • High-Growth "Builder" DNA: You have led engineering teams through the "1-to-10" scale phase at a high-growth startup and know how to maintain velocity while increasing technical rigor • Obsession with Data Integrity: Experience solving complex inventory, supply chain, or financial reconciliation problems where data accuracy is the difference between a successful business and a failed audit • Drives Exceptional Outcomes: You hold an incredibly high bar for talent and execution. You are a "leader of leaders" who empowers managers but stays close enough to the metal to spot architectural flaws • Strategic Influence: You can navigate high-stakes cross-functional relationships, moving beyond "feature requests" to influence the fundamental business strategy through technical innovation.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation • Health insurance • Paid time off • Flexible work arrangements • Professional development opportunities
