Tech Lead Webstore

Suitsupply recently launched a new global headless storefront on Shopify Hydrogen, replacing its legacy platform. It’s TypeScript-first, serves 26+ countries and multiple languages, and lives inside a monorepo shared with other customer-facing applications. The platform is young and the technical direction is still being defined. We’re looking for a Tech Lead Shopify to own the technical vision for this platform. You won’t just write code. You’ll decide how the storefront evolves, set the standards the team works by, and be accountable for the quality and scalability of what ships. You’ll lead a team of frontend engineers and work closely with a product manager and designer. This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll be deep in the code while also making the architectural calls that shape the platform for years to come.

• Define and own the technical architecture of the storefront across markets, languages, and devices
• Lead a team of frontend engineers through architectural decisions, code reviews, pairing, and hands-on guidance
• Make the call on technology choices, patterns, and trade-offs, and communicate the reasoning to the team and stakeholders
• Balance delivery velocity with technical health. Proactively manage technical debt and know when to invest in it
• Own the integration strategy, from Shopify’s APIs and UI Extensions to Sanity CMS and third-party systems for payments and logistics
• Define the testing strategy alongside QA engineers, covering unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage
• Set and continuously raise the bar for performance, accessibility, security, and reliability
• Drive the frontend chapter, establishing shared standards for development practices, monitoring, and ways of working that extend beyond your own team
