This unique hybrid role blends technical strategy with business execution, starting as a high-level Individual Contributor building solutions before transitioning into a Technical Lead to scale the team.

• Pilot Support: actively support in-store pilots. This includes troubleshooting live production issues and deploying hotfixes to ensure customer success during critical rollouts.

• Strategic Evaluation: help leadership determine the technical viability of third-party partners versus building in-house solutions, and provide the technical reality check that ensures our business goals are ambitious yet technically achievable.

• Team Scaling: As the product matures, help hire, onboard, and lead a team of engineers, establishing code quality standards, CI/CD pipelines, and development culture.

Qualifications:
