We’re Looking For A(n): Growth Platform Engineer & Architect

Location: Hybrid (El Segundo, CA and/or Burbank/North Hollywood, CA)

What You’ll Be Doing: We’re building the next generation of our growth and commerce technology — and we’re looking for an ambitious Growth Platform Engineer & Architect to help lead the way.

As our portfolio of brands transitions toward more independent operations, we’re reimagining how marketing, data, and eCommerce connect — from the ground up. This role will be central to designing that future: a modern, secure, and performance-driven growth platform that scales.

You’ll partner closely with the VP of Technology to see the big picture, defining and implementing the systems that power acquisition, conversion, and customer retention — while integrating seamlessly with our service, accounting, and distribution systems. You bring deep expertise in distilling opportunities, building proof of concepts to persuade change, and advising peers on architecture principles.

• Lead the rebuild of our growth technology stack – solutioning for web analytics tracking to checkout, attribution, and the integrations to core systems such as the ERP, Warehouse, and Data.

• Design for independence and scalability – documenting the future state data flows, and making smart decisions about what to build vs. buy.

• Modernize our eCommerce systems – evolving our web apps and Salesforce platform to improve conversions and reduce operational overhead and user errors.

• Drive innovation with AI – helping lead the adoption of AI for engineering across teams.

• Champion privacy, compliance, and reliability – ensuring systems respect user consent, minimize data collection, and meet high performance and uptime standards.

• Mentor engineers and deliver a clear technical vision.

Qualifications (Note: We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick ALL of these boxes.):

• Proven success designing and building business systems from the ground up, including integrated solutions that support the full order lifecycle and end-to-end customer experience.

• Hands-on experience with Angular, Node.js/TypeScript, and SQL/Postgres is a plus, but we’re open to architects whose core expertise is in other stacks—as long as you can quickly get up to speed on our current technologies and help shape a clear strategy, whether that’s optimizing what we have or guiding a transition to something new.

• Experience with key Saas platforms such as NetSuite and Salesforce and common pre-built integrations.

• A strong grasp of experimentation and measurement is a plus — A/B testing, incrementality, and revenue attribution.

• A builder’s mindset: you think in systems, understand trade-offs, and love creating clarity from complexity.

• Required Education: Bachelors Degree or Equivalent experience.

•
Required Experience:

• 7–10+ years of experience in designing and architecting systems supporting ad technologies (Meta/Google, etc), ecommerce, and fulfillment.

•
Preferred Experience:

• Experience in Salesforce, NetSuite, Shopify, Warehouse systems.

• Familiarity with modern frontend technologies and API development.

• Familiarity with Google tag management and server to server integrations.
