Technical-lead-shopify-plus-remote

**Responsibilities**:
We are partnering with our good friends at **WeAreDigital** to find the next Tech Lead to make an impact on their people, tech & clients. It’s the kind of role where you’ll make an impact as a leader of people & solution design, but still remain hands-on-the-tools and able to cut code daily. Let me introduce you to them

**WeAreDigital** is an end-to-end strategic eCommerce and transformation consultancy, born right here in Melbourne. Their north star is (deceptively) simple; to make commerce better and easier - everyday. They do this by creating seamless commerce solutions on the path to purchase for some of Australia’s leading brands and businesses; designing and building bespoke strategies, products, campaigns and services. Think: from strategy inception to design & UX, engineering, through to ongoing growth & support services like SEO, SEM, data analytics.

These folks simplify what is complex and deliver genuinely delightful, beautiful, and functional digital brand & customer experiences that *convert*. They live & BREATHE Shopify Plus and Commerce Tools, are both omnichannel retail & pure play eCommerce specialists, and they’re also damn good at their craft.

They’re no bullsh*t, no nonsense, kind of people who really give a sh*t. WeAreDigital was deliberately founded without the hangover of the stereotypes, baggage, and pockets of superficial culture that can exist within more traditional, more transactional digital agencies. What does that look like? Well, they work with their clients, not for them. This isn’t a project business - this is a strategically lead partnership business; their work is both big picture & long-term in its nature. If you came to WeAreDigital to ‘get a website’, you’d leave with an entire strategy + a whole lot more than just a shopfront.

They partner with the likes of Harvey Norman, PETstock, Petcircle, Vicinity Centres, CAMILLA & MARC, SPACE Furniture, Poliform, BMW Financial Services, M.J. Bale, SONOS, T2, ABC, and SilverChef, to name but a few

**The techy bits**

WeAreDigital are proud Shopify Plus partners, and are pretty deep in that ecosystem. It doesn't stop there though; they are also working on solutions with Commerce Tools and as such as building out a headless accelerator framework in Vue for both platforms.

They deliver solutions for their clients with fullstack JavaScript, and a range of different frameworks and tools - it’s very much dependent on their clients' particular needs. Expect to work with lots of: Node.JS, Nuxt.js, Express.js, Vue.js, React, TypeScript, Composables, Tailwind, Webpack, Headless CMS, Storyblok, Contentful, Redis, ElasticSearch, Mongodb, Docker containers, Kubernetes, GCP and AWSto name a few

**What’s the role all about then?**

In this role, you’ll lead 5-8 engineers across 2 teams to develop, maintain, and continuously improve the CX of WeAreDigital’s clients. Your team of devs will work within a cross functional squad of designers, strategic consultants and project managers, to drive growth and best practices.

You’ll lead the technical design and implementation for the team, help scope out solutions for clients, and own their architecture, management of priorities and resources across multiple projects, ensuring end-to-end delivery is done on time, budget, and according to scope.

You’ll play an important role in uplifting the dev culture, technical capability, and ways of working in the team; as well as coaching the devs on the team to grow. All this whilst still being able to cut code daily and remain hands-on-the-tools. There’s lots to have a go at and make an impact on
