Loop is experiencing an exciting period of growth. As we expand our business with thriving merchants, we are focused on developing our best engineering practices. We’re looking for an exceptional human to lead a team in disciplines of Engineering Enablement and Platform Development. Our next leader will mature the team structure, strengthen collaboration across the org and guide the team to identify pain points and bottlenecks, improve systems and technical processes.
Engineering teams at Loop develop modular, purpose-built components, using API and event-based communication. You will manage a team to develop and integrate internal tools with cloud-based services like CI/CD, source code management, testing pipelines and multiple non-production environments, improving the path to production. As Loop scales its engineering practice, we must reduce friction, distribute our developer practice while maintaining high-standards of quality and security in the process. The team will interface closely with Development and Security operations on systems, advocate for multiple product delivery teams and enable the wonderful humans at Loop to be successful.
At Loop, acquiring new business, retaining happy customers and expanding our product requires demonstrated maturity in our craft. We value automated testing and continuous delivery, including automated onboarding of humans, consistent security controls, hardened, reliable systems using infrastructure and configuration as code. We monitor and observe the success of our systems, our processes and we strive for improvement based on metrics.
This is an indispensable role with us, so we’ll be looking for examples of when you’ve tackled these challenges throughout your career. We’ve laid out the experience we think is important to set you up for success in this role. Loop team members are open to candid feedback and are able to deliver, creating a culture of accountability and performance. But, we appreciate that different humans will solve problems in different ways, so we don’t expect you to fit exactly in a box of requirements.

In a perfect world, Loop wouldn't exist. If we had our way, we'd live in a world where we're mindful about how we consume, we love every product we own, and we share values with the brands who create them. In reality, commerce isn't perfect and often breaks. Loop creates second chances.
We're starting by revolutionizing the post-purchase experience. We've taken one of the most fragile commerce interactions - returns - and turned it into something consumers actually love, and that deepens our connection to brands and products.
We take connection seriously on the inside, too. We're building a work experience that allows you to Be A Human First and prioritizes empathy and wellbeing. We view Loop as a special place in your career to shape the future of an industry and become a better person while doing it. You can grow faster here in a shorter amount of time - we'll give you space and trust you to fill it.
