Hi 👋
Workonomics are partnering with a private equity-backed ecommerce company who use technology to design, create, sell, and ship super high-quality, personalised products globally.
These products help stimulate literacy and language development in children from a young age, and bring delight to adults celebrating a wide range of milestone life moments.
In 2025 they're evolving their ecommerce platform, focusing on improving the customer experience in terms of site performance, interactivity, and stability.
They're looking for a Head of Engineering to take ownership of this area, make key architectural decisions, and steer the teams’ careers.
This role could suit a customer-obsessed Tech Lead / Staff Engineer / Engineering Manager / Head of Engineering who can bring:
* a deep understanding of designing and building complex systems for high-traffic companies
* a love for finding the right balance between speed vs quality (and the ability to explain why)
* experience managing other developers, supporting their long-term career development
* an appreciation of nicely-designed, high-quality, well-tested codebases, built for scale
This is a hands-on role - you’ll be equally happy and comfortable in the weeds writing code with your engineers, as you are in defining the roadmap with other members of the senior leadership team.
