Role Overview

The Merchant Experience team at Recharge is responsible for building, scaling, and maintaining merchant administration user experiences. The merchant experience ecosystem sits at the intersection of many core product feature areas that help merchants manage orders, subscriptions, customers, products, discounts, bundles, collections, and more. This is a high-impact, high-visibility feature team and will keep you very close to the end user experiences.

In this role, you will be a key contributor to ensuring the merchant experience is one that is modern, performant, and reliable for merchant administrators. You will develop, maintain, and debug features across the merchant experience stack, enabling product vision to come to life. You will collaborate to clarify, theorize, figure out, and decide solutions to complex problems closely with your team. Ensuring the team delivers will be critical to our success, which will require thorough code reviews, quality releases, and being in an on-call rotation.

You will also be a part of transitioning the merchant experience frontend stack from a Vue.js framework to a React Remix framework with Chakra UI as the component library, while also establishing a library of reusable components for other feature teams to source from for rapid development.

As a key engineer of the team, you will be a core owner of the merchant experience ecosystem who governs the best practices for component contributions, architecture patterns, and enabling other feature teams to develop quickly. Additionally, you will work closely with product management, engineering management, and staff/principal engineering on large, core merchant experience initiative planning.
