Who We Are

Space Dinosaurs builds fast, high-converting ecommerce experiences for the world's top brands, with a focus on conversion rate and revenue optimization. We're a specialist e-commerce and creative strategy firm that uses AI-augmented engineering and our CDN engineering heritage to deliver high-performance, scalable digital retail experiences that deliver exceptional revenue performance and growth. Together, we're a global team of talented designers, engineers, strategists, and operators who like solving hard problems, shipping work we're proud of, and tying our output to measurable results. Built on decades of retail technology expertise, we're redefining how retail grows. We are recognized by many of the world's leading retail and consumer brands for designing and building the fastest, most resilient, future-ready websites and applications that consistently deliver measurable outcomes in revenue

Role Overview

We build headless commerce platforms for enterprise retail brands on Next.js, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and Shopify Plus — and we need a senior engineering leader who owns people, architecture, and delivery for their teams while shaping engineering standards across the organization. Your direct reports are engineering managers, leads, and architects — you build the leadership layer, define architecture patterns, and drive delivery outcomes across multiple squads in a distributed, async-first environment. Hands-on contribution is roughly 20–30% of your time, enough to stay credible and unblock architectural problems, but your impact comes from the leaders you develop and the systems you put around them. The path leads to Director of Engineering with the architectural credibility to stay technical as you grow.

Essential Functions

  • Own delivery outcomes and velocity across your delivery teams — diagnose systemic bottlenecks, not just immediate blockers
  • Hire, develop, and performance-manage engineering managers, leads, and architects — build the leadership layer that builds the team
  • Define front-end architecture patterns, rendering strategies, and performance standards that multiple delivery teams build against
  • Drive story refinement and documentation standards that enable your leads, architects, and their teams to execute reliably
  • Establish the standards, documentation habits, and workflow patterns that make AI agents effective across your squads — shaping how teams decompose work for reliable agent execution
  • Partner with PMs and stakeholders across time zones, managing competing priorities across client engagements while maintaining delivery quality
  • Coach your managers on cross-cultural communication, proactive async collaboration, and the ability to represent technical tradeoffs to non-technical audiences

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in engineering management with experience managing managers, leads, or architects — not just ICs
  • Architectural judgment in modern frontend systems: defining Next.js architecture patterns, state management, and performance standards that teams build against
  • Delivery ownership in agency or professional services — you've run client engagements across competing priorities and kept quality high
  • Strong written and verbal English — you'll collaborate with stakeholders across the US, Europe, and LATAM, and develop your managers' communication skills across cultures
  • Evidence of shaping how teams work with AI agents — not just personal tool usage, but establishing the standards and workflow patterns that make agents effective across a squad: spec-driven development, code review for AI-generated output, and coaching engineers to decompose work for reliable agent execution
  • Preferred: Hands-on experience with Salesforce Commerce Cloud (headless SFRA, OCAPI/SCAPI) or Shopify Plus/Hydrogen
  • Preferred: Familiarity with composable commerce patterns (MACH architecture, headless CMS platforms)

Tools

  • React, Next.js, TypeScript
  • Shopify Plus / Salesforce Commerce Cloud / Big Commerce / SCAYLE
  • Vercel, CI/CD pipelines
  • Cursor and/or Claude Code, ChatGPT
  • Jest, Cypress, Playwright
  • Slack, Jira, Confluence

What We Offer

  • Startup Environment: A lean, fast-moving team where ownership, autonomy, and accountability are expected.
  • High-Impact Work: Meaningful, hands-on work with direct visibility into outcomes and production impact.
  • Top-Tier Clients: Opportunities to work with well-known, global brands and complex, real-world challenges.
  • Competitive Compensation & Benefits: Market-aligned pay, comprehensive benefits, and bonus structures where applicable.
  • Unlimited PTO: Flexible time off built on trust, ownership, and clear expectations.
  • 100% Remote Work: Work from anywhere with a distributed, async-first team.
  • Growth & Development: Room to expand scope, build expertise, and grow alongside the company
  • AI: Premium AI tooling licenses (Cursor and/or Claude Code) for your entire team, with organizational support for building AI-first delivery practices.
