Staff Engineer (Storefront Home, CLP, Recommendations)

About the role

The Portfolio Engineer (Storefront) at Quince is responsible for leading the technical design and delivery of major storefront initiatives, from discovery to post-purchase surfaces. This role requires a deep understanding of full-stack web development, especially in building high-traffic, customer-facing commerce or consumer web surfaces.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end technical design and delivery for major Storefront initiatives — spanning discovery, browse, PDP, cart, checkout, and post-purchase surfaces — from architecture through production.
• Partner closely with product, design, and data science to shape roadmap priorities and translate business goals into scalable, well-scoped engineering plans.
• Drive technical standards and consistency across the Storefront codebase in areas including performance, observability, testing, and maintainability.
• Proactively identify and resolve systemic engineering gaps — performance bottlenecks, reliability risks, and scaling constraints — before they become incidents.
• Mentor and grow senior engineers through design reviews, code review, pairing, and direct coaching; actively invest in the technical development of the team.
• Define and drive adoption of best practices across frontend architecture, API design, and experimentation frameworks.
• Collaborate with platform and infrastructure teams to ensure the Storefront stack is built on reliable, well-instrumented foundations.
• Drive alignment with engineering leadership and cross-functional counterparts on technical direction, tradeoffs, and delivery milestones.

Requirements

• You have excellent computer science fundamentals.
• You have 8+ years of full-stack web development experience, with deep expertise in building high-traffic, customer-facing commerce or consumer web surfaces.
• You have strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript and React; experience with server-side rendering frameworks (Next.js or equivalent) is a plus.
• You have experience building and maintaining highly reliable distributed web applications that operate at scale.
• You have demonstrated ability to drive large technical initiatives end-to-end: scoping, sequencing work, aligning stakeholders, and landing impact across quarters.
• You have a track record of raising engineering quality on a team — through standards, tooling, documentation, or mentorship — not just shipping features.
• You have knowledge of design principles, fundamentals of frontend and distributed system architecture, quality processes, and estimation techniques.
• You have experience with A/B testing frameworks and data-driven experimentation.
• You are an advocate for maintaining the highest standards in terms of code quality, latency, and observability.
• You understand the hustle of a startup and are good at handling ambiguity.
• You can effectively communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• You are a curious, quick learner, scrappy, and someone who loves to experiment.
