- Drive architectural decisions across our hybrid Shopify + custom eCommerce platform, ensuring both backend services and frontend experiences are robust, scalable, and maintainable.
- Deliver performant, reliable, and accessible customer experiences by collaborating with Grove’s ecosystem of third-party partners.
- Write, review, and guide code across the stack; provide technical leadership and mentorship to elevate the skills of other engineers.
- Design and implement architecture across multiple technologies, with a primary focus on Python/Django, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, and React

- API design expertise (GraphQL and/or REST), schema design, and performance/observability considerations.
Experience operating services in AWS and Kubernetes, and shipping via GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD pipelines. - Strong ownership and product sense: you care about outcomes, not just code, and you iterate quickly with stakeholders.
- A collaborative leader and mentor who raises the bar for engineering quality through coaching, thoughtful communication, and strong technical guidance.
- Alignment with Grove’s mission and sustainability values, and a desire to make meaningful impact at scale.
