About the Role
Tradespoke is seeking a Technical Lead for a short-term, high-impact engagement with the potential to evolve into a long-term leadership role. This hybrid position (part technologist, part product integrator) will serve as the bridge between business strategy and a complex multi-vendor tech stack.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, can take ownership without hand-holding, and has a strong background in both engineering and systems thinking.
Key Responsibilities:
- Stabilize the stack: Map current systems, document integrations, and create runbooks for key operations like payouts, product syncs, and order flows.
- Optimize performance: Identify and resolve weak points in the stack (e.g., Shopify Collective sync, Stripe payout failures, Rye ingestion issues).
- Establish visibility: Implement basic monitoring and alerting for high-impact processes like orders and commissions.
- Own the roadmap: Collaborate with leadership to build and prioritize a 6-month product and integrations backlog focused on reliability and scale.
- Act as technical liaison: Work directly with third-party vendors (e.g., Rye, Velou, Endlss) to push for fixes, improvements, and new capabilities.
- Bridge the gap: Translate complex technical issues into actionable decisions for a non-technical leadership team.
Required Skills
- 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience, ideally with e-commerce platforms
- Deep familiarity with Shopify and Stripe Connect
- Experience working with and integrating multiple SaaS products via APIs
- Strong understanding of Vue.js (front-end framework currently in use)
- Excellent communication skills — ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
- Previous experience working with international and distributed teams
Nice to Have Skills
- Experience with tools like Rye, Velou, Endlss, CreatorCommerce, or similar integration platforms
- Background in systems architecture and technical documentation
- Familiarity with catalog ingestion, product tagging, and AI-driven product enrichment
- Previous technical leadership or head-of-product exposure in early-stage startups
- Experience managing or stabilizing affiliate commerce stacks
Additional Information
- Engagement model: Initial 2–3 week freelance contract (~10 hours/week), with strong potential to evolve into a long-term or full-time leadership role
- Work model: Remote; open to international candidates, with a preference for South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia
- Team structure: Founding team includes non-technical leadership (Chad and Shabana), with current dev contributors based in Brazil, India, and Sri Lanka
- Collaboration cadence: Weekly syncs, biweekly roadmap reviews, and 24-hour SLA on critical issues
