Job Description

Who We Are

Our mission is to accelerate supplier success by building world-class technology platforms and digital experiences. We create scalable systems and intuitive applications that power supplier workflows across web platforms, APIs, and internal tools.

What You'll Do

Lead Full-Stack Teams

Lead multiple engineering teams responsible for delivering end-to-end platform capabilities, spanning front-end applications, backend services, APIs, and infrastructure. Own the full SDLC: architecture, development, delivery, and operations.

Platform & Architecture Strategy

Define and execute a multi-year technology strategy across the full stack. Drive architectural decisions that balance scalability, performance, flexibility, and speed.

Front-End Experience

Drive development of high-quality, performant, and accessible user interfaces using modern frameworks. Partner with Product and Design to deliver intuitive, consistent, and user-centric experiences supported by reusable components and design systems.

Backend & Platform Systems

Lead the design and development of scalable backend services and APIs. Ensure systems are resilient, observable, and built for high availability and global scale.

Engineering Excellence

Establish and scale best practices across the stack:

  • component-driven UI architecture
  • scalable service and API design
  • automated testing (unit, integration, E2E)
  • CI/CD and release engineering
  • observability, reliability, and performance optimization

Developer Productivity

Drive investments in tools, frameworks, and platforms that improve developer experience and velocity across both front-end and backend teams.

People Leadership

Hire, mentor, and grow high-performing engineers and engineering leaders across full-stack domains. Foster a culture of ownership, inclusion, and continuous improvement.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Collaborate with Product, Design, Data, and Platform teams to align engineering efforts with business goals and deliver impactful outcomes.

Technical Leadership

Lead architectural discussions, facilitate decision-making, and guide teams through complex trade-offs with a long-term platform mindset.

We Are a Match Because You Have:

  • 12+ years in software engineering
  • 56+ years leading high-performing teams
  • Experience delivering full-stack platforms at scale

Front-End Expertise

  • Modern frameworks (React or similar)
  • TypeScript and component-based architecture
  • Design systems and reusable UI components
  • Web performance and accessibility best practices

Backend & Platform Engineering

  • Distributed systems and service-oriented architecture
  • API design (REST/GraphQL)
  • Cloud-native development and containerized environments
  • Event-driven or asynchronous systems

DevOps & Infrastructure

  • CI/CD pipelines and release automation
  • Container orchestration and deployment strategies (blue/green, canary)

Product & Platform Mindset

Proven ability to build scalable products with strong user experience, balancing technical and business trade-offs.

Leadership & Communication

Strong collaboration and influencing skills across teams and stakeholders, with clear and effective communication.

Why This Role Matters

You will shape the end-to-end supplier platform, owning both the user experience and the backend systems that power it, ensuring scalability, reliability, and exceptional product quality.
