We're hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead engineering teams in Commerce. You'll build and run strong teams, own delivery for products that shoppers at hundreds of brands use every day, and help decide what we build next.

This is a leadership role first, but it isn't a hands-off one. You'll stay close enough to the code to make good technical calls and review designs and pull requests credibly, and you'll jump in and build when the team needs it. If you've drifted away from the technical side of the job, this isn't the role for you.

Much of Commerce is zero to one. We launch new products, learn what works with real merchants, and scale what does. That takes a startup mindset: move fast, make decisions with incomplete information, get something real in front of customers quickly, and then make it great.

Why Commerce

Commerce is Stord's newest and most strategic group, and it's where we're building the next generation of Stord software. We own the shopper's experience from checkout through delivery: the delivery promise at checkout, order tracking, proactive notifications, returns, and shipment protection. It's the part of Stord that shoppers actually see, and it's how our merchants earn their customers' loyalty.

What makes Commerce different is what sits underneath it. Most commerce software stops at the screen and guesses about everything after the order is placed. Ours runs on top of the network that actually picks, packs, and ships those orders. That gives us real operational data to build with, so a delivery date can be a promise instead of an estimate, and a tracking page can know what's really happening with an order.

Much of what we're building is brand new, and we're building it with AI from the start.

Why This Role

• You’ll lead engineering on the part of Stord that shoppers actually see, built on real data from the fulfillment network underneath it.
• You’ll have a real voice in product direction. We expect engineering leaders to challenge the roadmap, push back on the wrong solution, and bring ideas of their own.
• You’ll help set how Stord builds with AI, not just adopt what someone else decided.
• You’ll build new products from scratch, with the backing of a company that already runs over $10 billion of commerce a year.

What You'll Do

Product and Customer

• Partner with Product and Design as an equal in deciding what to build, challenging assumptions and bringing your own point of view to the roadmap

Zero to One Delivery
