Manager, Digital Technology Development - MANSCAPED

Who We Are

MANSCAPED® is a leading men’s grooming and lifestyle consumer brand on a mission to introduce and elevate a whole new self-care routine for men. What began as the category creator of below-the-waist grooming has quickly evolved into a global omnichannel powerhouse available around the world on manscaped.com, Amazon, and in major retailers including Target®, Walmart, and Best Buy.

We proudly uphold seven core values – accountability, authenticity, collaboration, fun, humility, inclusivity, and innovation – which define our brand identity and drive our success.

Who We’re Looking For

Reporting to the Sr. Director, Digital Technology Development, we are seeking a hands-on, full-stack Manager, Digital Technology Development to lead a team of developers, both onshore and offshore, who build and run the MANSCAPED® direct-to-consumer platform: the Shopify Plus storefront and checkout, the headless web experience, the Node.js middleware and integrations behind it, and the cloud infrastructure it runs on.

This is a technical manager role: the ideal candidate spends a meaningful part of every week in the code – reviewing pull requests, setting engineering standards, unblocking developers and building features – while owning backlog and change management with the Team PM, hiring, performance management, vendor relationships and production health.

Responsibilities

• Identify and prioritize quarterly, bi-annual and year-end goals and key initiatives, including key launch dates and peak-season code freezes.
• Lead a team of onshore and offshore developers to ensure backlog is managed effectively; partner with Team PM on estimates, capacity planning, and change management.
• Own code quality for Digital Technology: define the code review process, standards for testing, CI/CD, secure coding, and documentation.
• Participate 20-30% in development and deployment activities – building features, fixing production defects, and developing initial SDK implementations.
• Assure production functions perform properly and champion alerts from Site Reliability, QA, and Cybersecurity to closure.
• Track Digital Technology KPIs: site availability, checkout health, and delivery metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate).
• Participate in scrum meetings including backlog grooming and cross-team syncs.
• Handle hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development for developers and offshore consultants.
• Manage external vendor relationships, define ways of working, and determine the right mix of internal and external resources.
• Act as the point of contact for mission-critical SaaS (Shopify, Ordergroove, Kount, Ketch, Ablr, Netlify).
• Partner with the Digital Technology architect on designs, standards, and the roadmap for the tech stack.
• Champion secure development practices with Cybersecurity.

Qualifications

• 8+ years as a full-stack engineer building customer-facing e-commerce or web platforms in a large cross-functional organization.
• 2+ years leading onshore and offshore developers while remaining hands-on in the code.
• Backend: Node.js/TypeScript services and APIs (REST and GraphQL), relational databases and SQL, event-driven integrations.
• Frontend: React with Next.js or another modern framework, including performance and SEO for consumer storefronts.
• Cloud: Production workloads on GCP or Azure – compute, networking, identity, Terraform/Pulumi, GitHub Actions, Datadog/PagerDuty.
• Shopify Plus: Admin and Storefront APIs, checkout extensibility, apps, webhooks, and multi-market setups.
• Experience managing third-party consulting teams and contractors.
• Track record of owning production: incident response, on-call, and availability during peak trading periods.
