Engineering Manager

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.
