A Day In The Life
The typical day is… atypical. Your Key Responsibilities may include.
- Own store technology delivery & operations. Lead feature development and on‑call for POS, clienteling, store reporting, and payments; run incident/root cause analysis, harden releases, and monitor uptime, authorization success rates, and tender reliability.
- Launch & scale new stores and relocations. Partner with Retail Ops to stage POS devices, payment terminals, and clienteling iPads for new store openings; ensure configuration, integrations, security, and acceptance tests are complete before doors open.
- Integrate payments & clienteling. Work with payment and POS partners and clienteling platforms to deliver frictionless checkout and associate workflows, aligning SDKs, APIs, and compliance requirements.
- Enable omnichannel store experiences. Coordinate with OMS and eCommerce teams to support BOPIS, ship‑from‑store, and remote selling; track store‑level SLAs and inventory & price accuracy that underpin these journeys.
- Measure & improve. Maintain dashboards for latency, error budgets, device health, and store uptime; prioritize backlogs with data; align release calendars with trade/holiday peaks and change‑management controls.
Technical Skills
To Land This Role:
- Proficiency in one modern programming language such as Java or JavaScript (or equivalent).
- Experience with distributed systems and microservices powering store and edge scenarios.
- Hands‑on experience managing POS systems and clienteling apps (device provisioning, release management, integrations to ERP/CRM).
- Strong knowledge of relational databases and messaging/event streaming patterns for storeßàcloud sync.
- Proficiency with instrumentation, telemetry, and observability for store apps and devices (dashboards, alerts, SLOs).
- Practical understanding of retail operations & omnichannel (e.g., BOPIS, ship‑from‑store, remote selling), including dependencies on OMS and inventory accuracy.
- Familiarity with payments (terminal management, gateway integrations) and modern clienteling platforms.
- Experience adopting AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) across the team to accelerate delivery, with a point of view on code quality, security, and review practices when AI-generated code is involved.
- Familiarity applying AI/ML to store and clienteling scenarios — such as associate copilots, personalized recommendations, conversational assistants, or computer-vision use cases — including how to integrate model APIs (LLMs, vector search) into POS or clienteling workflows responsibly.
- Clear communication up, down, and across functions; ability to translate store realities into engineering priorities and outcomes.
- Willingness to roll up your sleeves — jump on incident bridges, review logs/telemetry, or help test & stage devices ahead of store launches.
- Comfort with ambiguity and leading cross‑functional program execution (retail operations, payments, security/compliance, vendor squads).
- Ability to set clear objectives, and unblock delivery while maintaining quality bars and adherence to retail calendars.
