Director, Shopify Engineering

Director Of Engineering

Ritual is a personal health brand that is raising the bar for daily wellness. Known for our best-selling, clinically backed prenatal, we create science-backed supplements with transparency at their core. We believe women deserve products they can trust, backed by real evidence—not just promises.

We started by reinventing the multivitamin with the first visible supply chain of its kind. Today, we're expanding into new categories with the same high standards that built our reputation. Hundreds of thousands trust Ritual, and we're growing fast.

Our team of 120+ scientists, creatives, and skeptics is raising the bar for women's health. We're venture-backed, based in sunny Los Angeles, and always looking for people ready to challenge the industry—and do the best work of their careers.

We're hiring a Director of Engineering to own the Shopify platform that runs  This is bigger than the storefront:
Shopify is the commercial operating system of our business, and this role owns it end to end—catalog and store configuration, the app stack, subscription commerce, and the integrations that connect the store to fulfillment, operations, finance, and marketing.

You'll lead our in-house engineering and QA team, own the technical roadmap for the platform in partnership with product, and represent engineering with senior stakeholders across the company. Critically, this role sits at the intersection of every team that plugs into the Shopify platform: growth and retention marketing (pixels, conversion tracking, catalog syncing, lifecycle and CRM integrations), customer support (helpdesk and customer data tooling), supply chain and logistics (fulfillment, order and inventory flows), and accounting (revenue recognition and finance data).

Each of these teams depends on the platform working for them—you'll be their technical leader, translating their needs into sound integrations and keeping the whole system coherent as it grows.

This is a platform-owner role with a leadership mandate. Our engineering team already carries strong Liquid theme development skills—your job is to direct that work and hold the quality bar, while personally owning the back-end and administrative depth of the platform: how the catalog is modeled, how subscriptions are configured, how orders flow to fulfillment, and how revenue data reaches finance.

You won't be heads-down on feature work day to day, but you'll review PRs, and you can run the codebase, debug a production issue, ship a quick fix, or delegate with precision. We're an AI-forward engineering team—AI development tools like Cursor and Linear are central to how we plan, build, and ship—and we're looking for a leader who works this way natively and raises the bar for how the whole team leverages them.
