Your mission:
The Director of Engineering - Core Commerce Platform owns the technology foundation that powers every commercial transaction in our DTC ecosystem. This role carries direct product technology accountability for a portfolio of mission-critical commerce capabilities.

This is a platform-first, API-first engineering leadership role. You will architect and deliver a composable commerce foundation built on best-in-class packaged solutions and open-source technologies ensuring every capability is pluggable, scalable, and reusable across channels. AI-native engineering is not optional: you will embed intelligent automation, agentic workflows, and AI-driven decision-making into the commerce engine itself.

As PUMA continues to scale its DTC Engineering organization, our leaders are expected to be visible culture builders. These roles are office-based and require regular in-person collaboration to accelerate decision-making, strengthen team cohesion, foster innovation, and build a world-class engineering capability from the ground up.
