  • Strong proficiency in a scripting language and experience delivering production services and enthusiasm for learning new technologies.
  • Ecommerce experience, ideally experience with the Shopify ecosystem.

  • Deep hands-on experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and practical use of caching/queues (Redis).
  • API design expertise (GraphQL and/or REST), schema design, and performance/observability considerations.
  • Experience operating services in AWS and Kubernetes, and shipping via GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong ownership and product sense: you care about outcomes, not just code, and you iterate quickly with stakeholders.
  • A collaborative leader and mentor who raises the bar for engineering quality through coaching, thoughtful communication, and strong technical guidance.
  • Alignment with Grove’s mission and sustainability values, and a desire to make meaningful impact at scale.
