📋 Description

• Drive the delivery of the Shop Builder developer surface: MCP server, CLI and local dev environment, public SDK, documentation pipeline, sandbox and preview environments, deploy and versioning path. • Lead and mentor a team of three engineers — setting technical direction within the squad, running code reviews, and ensuring consistent engineering quality. • Own cross-team coordination: identify and pull inbound API capabilities from payments, auth, live ops, and catalog teams; unblock dependencies; manage integration timelines. • Actively contribute to implementation — you ship production code alongside the team, particularly on the most critical and complex components. • Partner with the Principal Engineer to translate architecture decisions into sprint-level execution plans and realistic timelines. • Collaborate with the PO on roadmap sequencing, scope decisions, and trade-offs between speed and correctness. • Own the team's delivery rhythm: sprint planning, technical grooming, retrospectives, and status visibility to engineering and business leadership. • Define and maintain the team's engineering standards: testing strategy, observability, deployment practices, and documentation quality. • Act as the primary technical contact for integrations with headless partners and the MIT professional services team during early partner onboarding. • Contribute to hiring by conducting technical interviews and defining what great looks like for the engineers joining this team.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a tech lead, staff, or senior lead role driving delivery across a team. • Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js, with experience shipping production APIs, CLIs, or SDKs to external developers. • Hands-on experience building CLI tools and developer-facing workflows: command design, config file formats, local dev loops, deploy commands, and error messages that actually help. • Solid understanding of REST API design principles, SDK ergonomics, and what makes a developer experience work — you have strong opinions and can back them up. • Practical familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or agentic tool-use patterns: you understand how AI agents consume tool interfaces and what makes a tool reliable for an LLM. • Experience coordinating across multiple engineering teams to ship features that depend on inbound capabilities you don't own. • Proven ability to lead engineers: clear technical direction, raising the quality bar through reviews, developing other engineers' skills. • Cloud-native experience: CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and deployment automation on AWS or GCP. • Strong communication skills — you translate technical complexity into clear status for leadership, and technical requirements into actionable work for your team.
