Head of Technology - Shopify Plus + AI Automation | E-Commerce Veteran Wanted | $150K + Bonus

You've built Shopify stores. You've wired up ERP integrations. You've dealt with inventory sync nightmares and order flow edge cases. Now imagine doing all of that with AI writing 100% of the code while you direct and review.

This Is an E-Commerce Role

Schneiders Saddlery is a 75‑year‑old equestrian e‑commerce company. Profitable. Mid‑8‑figure revenue. Modern stack after recent migration. We need a Head of Technology who understands e‑commerce at a deep level AND has embraced AI‑native development.

You understand why:

• Order status webhooks need idempotency
• Inventory sync between ERP and Shopify is harder than it looks
• Product variants with multiple options get messy fast
• Customer service automation needs human escalation paths
• Seasonal traffic spikes require infrastructure planning
• Multi‑channel selling creates data consistency challenges

We're not going to teach you e‑commerce. We need someone who's lived it.

• Storefront:
  Shopify Plus – Theme customization, checkout optimization, app integrations
• ERP:
  Fulfil.io – Python API integrations, order sync, inventory management
• Data:
  Big Query + Fivetran – Analytics pipelines, reporting automation
• Frontend:
  React, Next.js – Custom tools, internal dashboards
• AI:
  Claude Code, Anthropic – Development workflow, automation systems
• Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform – CI/CD, deployment, monitoring

AI‑powered automation for e‑commerce operations:

• Customer Service: Automated responses for common inquiries, smart routing for complex issues
• Inventory Management: Reconciliation between systems, stock level alerts, reorder automation
• Order Operations: Exception handling, fulfillment optimization, returns processing
• Reporting: Automated daily/weekly reports, anomaly detection, performance dashboards
• Marketing Support: Campaign data pipelines, attribution tracking, A/B test analysis

Our development approach: 100% of code is AI‑generated. You direct, review, and ship.

This means you need:

• Active Claude Code or Cursor user
• Systematic AI development workflow (not copy‑paste from ChatGPT)
• Experience building complete features with AI assistance
• Ability to review AI‑generated code critically
• Process for requirements → design → implementation → review

If you're still writing most code manually and using AI for autocomplete, this isn't the right fit.

Must‑Have:

• 5+ years software engineering
• Shopify (or Magento/Big Commerce) platform experience
• Python AND JavaScript/Type Script
• ERP or inventory system integration experience
  
  Active AI coding tool user with systematic approach
• US‑based

Nice‑to‑Have:

• Fulfil.io or similar ERP experience
• Big Query or data warehouse experience
• Previous role as sole/lead engineer

Contract (Months 1‑3): $75/hr;
Full‑Time (Month 4+): $150K base + up to 100% performance bonus;
Equity:
Real path for exceptional performance

We're building AI automation tools that work. Other e‑commerce companies want them. The right person becomes a partner in productizing and selling what you build.
