About the role

We are looking for an experienced Tech Lead to lead our development team and take ownership of our B2C and D2C web platforms. You will bridge the gap between engineering excellence and business outcomes — leading a team of developers, driving architectural decisions, and ensuring our digital products are fast, scalable, and reliable.

What you'll be doing

• Lead, mentor, and manage a team of 5 or more developers — assigning tasks, reviewing code, and ensuring timely delivery

• Own the architecture, development, and maintenance of B2C and D2C web platforms

• Collaborate closely with product, design, and e-commerce teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions

• Drive code quality through reviews, best practices, documentation, and testing standards

• Identify performance bottlenecks and lead optimisation efforts for speed, scalability, and uptime

• Evaluate and introduce new tools, frameworks, and technologies where relevant

• Conduct sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives — ensuring smooth agile delivery

• Work with cross-functional stakeholders to align technical roadmap with business priorities

What we're looking for

• 5–8 years of software development experience, with at least 2 years in a Tech Lead or senior engineering role

• Experience leading a team of 5 or more developers in a product or e-commerce environment

• Hands-on experience developing or maintaining B2C or D2C websites — you understand what high-traffic consumer platforms need

• Prior experience working with B2C or e-commerce brands is strongly preferred

• Working knowledge across a broad tech stack including JavaScript, Node.js, Python, and frontend frameworks

• Strong understanding of REST APIs, databases (SQL/NoSQL), cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD pipelines

• Ability to make pragmatic architectural decisions and communicate them clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative leadership style

Tech stack — what you should know

JavaScript, Node.js, Python, React / Next.js, REST APIs

PHP, MySQL / MongoDB, AWS / GCP, Git / CI/CD, Docker

• Purple = must-have · Grey = good to have

Preferred (nice to have)

Experience in the jewellery, luxury, or fashion e-commerce space. Familiarity with Shopify, Magento, or custom e-commerce platforms.
