Description
Spreetail propels brands to increase their ecommerce market share across the globe while improving their operational costs.
You will operate as a founding technical leader for a 0-to-1 platform, bringing deep ecommerce domain expertise to bear on warehouse operations, inventory management, and order fulfillment at multi-tenant scale.
Responsibilities
This is a hands-on, high-ownership, build-from-the-ground-up role requiring strong distributed systems expertise, deep familiarity with ecommerce order-to-fulfillment flows, and the ability to make foundational architecture decisions for a new business line.
What experiences will help you in this role:
- 6–8+ years of experience building and shipping production backend systems
- Experience informally or formally leading the technical direction of a team or workstream (design reviews, mentorship, setting standards)
- Experience with ecommerce order management, inventory, warehouse, or logistics systems is a strong plus
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, still-being-defined 0-to-1 environment
Technical Skills
- Strong fundamentals in backend engineering: APIs, data modeling, databases, and distributed systems
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and cloud-native service design
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures (queues, streams, async processing)
- Strong testing, debugging, and production-support practices
Technical Leadership
- Ability to set technical direction and make sound judgment calls without direct authority
- Strong code review and mentorship instincts
- Comfort representing a workstream in broader architecture discussions
Domain & AI Exposure (Nice to Have)
- Exposure to EDI standards or 3PL/WMS integration patterns
- Experience integrating ML model outputs (forecasts, predictions, anomaly scores) into application logic
- Interest in growing domain expertise in e-commerce logistics and fulfillment
Collaboration & Communication
- Ability to influence and align engineers without formal authority over them
- Clear written and verbal communication, especially in async, distributed team settings
- Comfort balancing hands-on technical work with guiding others
