Description

What You’ll Do • Design and implement scalable, high-performance backend systems to power our e-commerce experience. • Build and maintain interfaces that support our frontend, mobile, and third-party integrations. • * Be very experienced working with pull, push models for data parity between third parties and our systems around e-commerce concerns of product, stock, orders and fulfillment synchronization. • You'll design, implement and deploy reliable software to solve complex e-commerce concerns. • Architect systems for membership access, catalog management, checkout, order fulfillment, and payments. • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and data teams to deliver features that elevate the user experience. • Own backend services end-to-end, from design to deployment and monitoring. • Contribute to best practices in code quality, testing, reliability, and observability. • Help define our backend architecture and make strategic technical decisions as we scale. • Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence and collaboration. Who You Are • 8+ years of experience building and scaling backend systems in production environments. • 4+ years leading Ruby cloud stack teams as a Principal Engineer/Architect. • You are very familiar with the Ruby object model - eigenclasses, method dispatch, method_missing, send, and all variable types. • Expert skills with Ruby idiomatic patterns, terse styling, metaprogramming and be able to create macros, DSLs, etc. • * Have experience contributing to wildly used gems or developed internal DSLs for domain specific needs. • Ruby without Rails - you are able to develop complex applications and deploy Rails features vs custom Ruby plugins for the right use cases. • Proficiency in building APIs and distributed services using Ruby. • Must know the full ins/outs of Rails AREL, performant code, and proper Sidekiq job handling. • Have expert knowledge of proper data model design for e-commerce concerns and understand how to handle locking sensitive resources such as a credit card charge and concepts such as state machines. • Expert experience with PostgreSQL, including complex joins and reporting queries, and familiarity with data modeling and performance optimization. • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, ECS, CodeBuild) and containerization (Docker,). • Strong understanding of system design, data structures, and algorithmic principles. • Comfortable working in high-growth, early-stage environments—bias toward action and strong product sense are key. • A collaborative teammate who communicates clearly and is excited to shape the future of a luxury tech brand. Bonus Points • Prior experience in e-commerce, marketplaces, or membership-based platforms. • Familiarity with event-driven architectures and message queues (Kafka, SQS, etc). • Experience working closely with design or product teams in consumer-facing companies. • Passion for fashion, luxury, or retail innovation.
