You're an engineer with a sharp eye, clean code, and a knack for shipping solutions that scale. At Holley, we’re transforming our eCommerce experience, and we’re looking for a seasoned Software Engineer to help architect and accelerate that evolution. This role calls for someone who can go full-stack deep, mentor others, collaborate cross-functionally, and keep a finger on the pulse of what’s next in digital commerce.

This is an in-office role that can be based in the Bowling Green, KY office or the Nashville, TN office.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Serve as a technical authority across projects, offering strategic input on software architecture, frameworks, and technologies.
• Mentor junior engineers and actively contribute to a culture of continuous learning, code quality, and engineering excellence.
• Champion change management and process optimization in alignment with organizational goals.
• Design, build, and enhance scalable, high-performing web applications that meet business needs and exceed quality standards.
• Drive code review processes, ensuring best practices and high code integrity across the team.
• Architect and maintain systems that are secure, modular, and optimized for both performance and future growth.

Content Systems Integration

• Lead integration efforts with CMS, DAM, PIM, and related systems, creating intuitive tools for content creators and marketers.
• Collaborate closely with stakeholders to ensure dynamic, relevant content is delivered efficiently and consistently.

User Experience & Interface Design

• Partner with UX/UI designers to develop rich, user-centric interfaces that elevate engagement and usability.
• Apply feedback loops, usability testing, and analytics to iterate and enhance user experience.
• Design and implement robust server-side logic, manage data pipelines, and ensure API efficiency and security.
• Embed security-first principles to safeguard user data and ensure compliance with privacy standards.

SEO & Web Analytics

• Collaborate with analytics teams to drive SEO strategy and ensure visibility across digital channels.
• Implement tracking and analytics solutions (e.g., GA4, Tag Manager) to translate performance data into actionable insights.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as a bridge between IT, marketing, product, and operations, ensuring technology is tightly aligned with strategic business outcomes.
• Provide technical consultation and support to internal teams, empowering data-driven decisions.

Platform Stability & Continuous Improvement

• Lead maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting to maintain system integrity and responsiveness.
• Identify technical debt and drive continuous improvements across the stack.

Scaled Agile & Delivery Excellence

• Actively participate in SAFe Agile ceremonies — sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives — and lead by example in Agile best practices.
• Influence and improve team velocity, DevOps practices, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure rapid, reliable delivery.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science (or similar discipline)
• 7+ years of building and scaling digital platforms.
• Deep experience working with CMS platforms (WordPress, Drupal, headless systems), plus a solid handle on DAM and PIM integrations.
• Strong opinions, loosely held — you have architectural insight and the flexibility to pivot when needed.
• You’ve coached, mentored, and elevated other engineers. You build up, not just out.
• You know how to break down a complex spec, communicate tradeoffs, and drive execution with precision.
• You care about the customer experience as much as the engineering behind it.
• You're fluent in Agile, and not just the ceremonies — you help teams deliver value fast and often.
