E-Commerce Technical Lead
Type: Full-Time Experience: 5+ years Location: Onsite, Bangalore
ABOUT THE ROLE
Y-NOT Design & Mfg is a promotional products, sourcing, and custom manufacturing organization serving Fortune 1000 brands and enterprise clients. Through BrandifyME, our E-Commerce division is focused on building the next generation of digital commerce for customized and branded products at scale.
The BrandifyME team owns the company’s digital commerce ecosystem, including storefront experience, product merchandising, supplier integrations, customization workflows, corporate stores, pricing synchronization, checkout experience, and large-scale operational e-commerce workflows. The team works across both customer-facing experiences and backend operational processes to create a scalable and efficient commerce platform built for enterprise-level sourcing and fulfillment.
The E-Commerce division works closely with the Automation team across multiple initiatives. While BrandifyME focuses on the commerce experience, digital operations, and platform execution, the Automation division develops the internal systems, AI-assisted infrastructure, workflows, and operational tooling that power and enhance those processes behind the scenes. Together, both teams collaborate to improve scalability, efficiency, operational visibility, and the future technology infrastructure of the organization.
Here is our website: https://y-not.com/
IN YOUR FIRST 6 MONTHS YOU WILL
▪ Take full ownership of BrandifyME's eCommerce stack: storefront, Shopify integrations, Sample Tracker, project workspace, and eCommerce-side middleware.
▪ Complete a structured knowledge transfer with the outgoing engineer and establish your own architectural baseline across the codebase.
▪ Review and approve all eCommerce engineering work before deployment; establish code-review standards the team follows consistently.
▪ Implement or lead at least one significant integration: Shopify, supplier, ERP (Odoo), shipping provider, or middleware, end to end.
▪ Coach full-stack developers through a structured growth plan toward senior-level engineering practice.
▪ Own on-call rotation for eCommerce production incidents and establish clear runbooks for the most common failure modes.
▪ Collaborate closely with the Automation Lead and Technical Manager to ensure clean handoffs at the eCommerce/Automation boundary.
▪ Contribute to hiring and onboarding the broader team as BrandifyME scales through Wave 1.
YOU'LL BE A FIT IF
▪ Experience with PHP Laravel-based applications and backend systems
▪ Exposure to Shopify/eCommerce platforms and related integrations
▪ Understanding of APIs, web technologies, and scalable application workflows
▪ Familiarity with AWS/cloud-hosted environments and deployment workflows is a plus
▪ Experience working in Agile/SCRUM-based engineering environments
▪ You have production experience with Shopify Plus or an equivalent eCommerce platform, you have personally owned integrations end to end.
▪ You are fluent in the full stack we use: Vite / React / TypeScript on the frontend; Supabase / PostgreSQL / Deno edge functions on the backend.
▪ You have strong PostgreSQL discipline: RLS, migrations, query performance and have shipped systems with real production surface area.
▪ You have built and operated REST/GraphQL integrations with retry logic, idempotency patterns, and webhook reliability.
▪ You have a proven track record coaching mid-level engineers toward senior-level practice, not just directing senior peers.
▪ You have worked in a startup or entrepreneurial environment and are comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and a codebase that has 100+ migrations.
BONUS POINTS
▪ Experience with Odoo ERP integrations or promotional-products supplier APIs (ASI, PromoStandards, ESP).
▪ Familiarity with Cloudflare Workers / edge-function patterns at production scale.
▪ Experience building or scaling a zero-inventory / drop-ship commerce model.
Engineering Manager – Backend
Location: Flexible / Hybrid (Mon–Fri)
Website: https://www.solarsquare.in
About the Role
SolarSquare is building the infrastructure for India's clean energy transition. We're looking for an Engineering Manager who doesn't just run a team — someone who builds one from the ground up, makes consequential technical bets, and treats engineering outcomes as business outcomes.
You'll own the technical strategy and delivery for our full-stack platform, lead a growing team of SDE1–SDE3 engineers, and work directly with product, design, and business to shape what we build and how fast we build it. This is a role for someone who has operated in resource-constrained environments, shipped systems that held up under pressure, and left every team they've led measurably better than they found it.
If you've only ever executed someone else's roadmap, this isn't the right fit. If you've ever built something from scratch and felt personally responsible for whether it worked.
What You'll Own
Team & Culture
- Build, hire, and develop a high-performing full-stack engineering team including setting the bar for what "high-performing" means at SolarSquare
- Create genuine career growth paths for engineers.
- Maintain team health, retention, and motivation through periods of rapid change and ambiguity
Technical Strategy
- Define and drive the architectural roadmap
- Make and own technical bets: when to invest in platform, when to ship fast, when to pay down debt
- Establish observability, reliability, and security standards before they become production fires
Delivery
- Translate business goals into engineering priorities and push back when the translation is wrong
- Set clear goals, metrics, and delivery expectations; hold yourself and the team accountable to them
- Manage trade-offs between short-term product velocity and long-term engineering health
Cross-Functional Influence
- Partner with Product, Design, and Business stakeholders and influence decisions upstream.
- Communicate technical risk, cost, and complexity clearly to non-technical leadership
What We're Looking For
- 7–10 years of engineering experience, with at least 3 years leading teams.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems design: idempotency, retries, DLQs, circuit breakers, eventual consistency, you've had to debug these in production.
- Proven experience with event-driven architecture and Kafka including schema design, consumer group management, and failure recovery patterns.
- Comfort with relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis, ) databases including query optimisation and schema design decisions at scale.
- You've designed or operated systems handling meaningful traffic ideally 10K+ RPS. significant daily transaction volumes, or consumer-scale user bases (1M+ users)
- You understand what 99.99% uptime actually costs to maintain and you've made the infrastructure and on-call decisions to back it.
- You've written or enforced SLOs, SLAs, and incident management processes.
- You've done a postmortem that changed something real about how the team operates.
- Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure beyond just deploying services, cost optimisation, right-sizing, architecture decisions that meaningfully reduced spend
- Working knowledge of containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) enough to unblock your team.
- CI/CD pipeline ownership you've built or significantly improved a pipeline.
- Experience with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or equivalent and more importantly, a philosophy about what to instrument and why
- You've made the call between monolith and microservices and you can defend it with context.
- You've managed technical debt consciously: triaged it, prioritised it, and made the case to stakeholders for when to pay it down
- You've navigated a hard conversation with a product or business stakeholder and changed the outcome
- Your engineers grow under you. You can point to people you've promoted, coached, or unblocked
- You know how to build alignment across functions where incentives don't naturally align
- You have clear examples of decisions you made under ambiguity and you can articulate the trade-offs you weighed
- You've identified a systemic problem and fixed it without being asked
- You've built or rebuilt something that wasn't working a team, a process, a system
