Andamen is entering a phase where our technology will need to support a many-fold larger, increasingly omnichannel business across D2C, marketplaces and offline retail. Technology therefore has to evolve into both a growth engine and the operating backbone of the organisation.
As Senior
Manager – Engineering, you will head Engineering and own Andamen’s end-to-end technology ecosystem: our Shopify D2C platform, upcoming native app, customer and growth technology, OMS, returns and fulfilment systems, enterprise applications, integrations, and the architecture connecting them. This is not a role for someone who simply manages development or delivers stakeholder requirements. You will understand the underlying business problem, challenge solutions where required, architect the right technology response, and build for substantially greater scale.
While you won’t own D2C revenue, you will own technology’s contribution to the customer experience, business revenue and profit. On the enterprise side, you will build an increasingly automated, reliable and low-leakage technology backbone. ? KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Technology Architecture & Delivery
Own Andamen’s end-to-end technology architecture across customer-facing platforms, enterprise systems, data flows and integrations.
Own the company-wide Engineering roadmap based on the underlying problem and business impact rather than treating Engineering as an execution queue. Establish disciplined development and release planning and strong engineering standards.
Own Engineering and technology budgets, continuously evaluate build vs buy decisions.
Lead technology vendor selection, commercial negotiation and performance management. D2C, App & Growth Technology
Own technology’s contribution to conversion across the consumer journey and all touchpoints (platforms, CRM, any beyond).
Build the infrastructure for rapid CRO and A/B testing, enabling teams to continuously experiment, learn and improve.
Drive exceptional website speed, responsiveness, reliability and technical SEO/GEO, and own the technical implementation of search, personalisation, recommendations, CRM, analytics and other growth technologies.
Lead the architecture, development and launch of Andamen’s native app from the ground up.
Enterprise
Technology, Automation & Reliability
Own the technology backbone for across OMS, ERP, return management applications, inventory, warehousing, refunds and reconciliation across all channels (D2C, marketplaces and eventually offline retail).
Partner with functional stakeholders to identify bottlenecks, leakages and manual processes, and use AI, technology and automation to improve accuracy, customer experience, speed and operating leverage.
Own platform reliability, security, access controls, backups and business continuity, ensuring Andamen can increase engineering velocity without compromising the resilience of its technology stack. Engineering & Cross-Functional Leadership
Build, lead, mentor and develop a high-performing Engineering team with clear ownership across platforms and systems.
Create a culture of ownership, intellectual rigour, engineering excellence and high execution velocity, developing engineers who understand the business context behind what they build.
Work hand-in-hand with Product Management and Revenue and every functional team, translating business problems into effective technology solutions.
Bring strong technical judgment into business decisions, communicating technology choices, constraints and trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders and constructively challenging requirements where better solutions exist.
Operate as a business leader who owns Engineering,
rather than as a technology service provider to the organisation. This role reports into our VP Revenue. ✅ KEY QUALIFICATION
9-12 years of technology/engineering experience in Shopify D2C, ecommerce, retail including meaningful experience leading engineering teams and owning business-critical technology platforms.
Strong experience across customer-facing web platforms and backend systems, including APIs, payments, OMS, CRM, fulfilment, returns and related integrations.
Experience in building native mobile applications from architecture design through build and launch and ongoing development is preferred.
Strong engineering fundamentals across architecture, development practices, QA, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, reliability, security and technical debt management.
Strong product and commercial thinking, with the ability to connect engineering decisions to conversion, customer experience, operating efficiency, cost and business risk.
Proven ability to architect for future scale and make sound trade-offs between speed, quality, scalability and cost, including strong build-vs-buy and vendor-management judgment.
Demonstrated ability to hire, develop and lead strong engineers while working effectively with Product, commercial, operational and senior leadership stakeholders.
