About the Role

Stitch Fix’s Discovery Across Fix & Freestyle Engineering team is looking for a curious, empathetic, and self-aware Lead Engineer experienced in front-end development and comfortable in back-end systems. You will be working with a diverse team of full-stack engineers with varied backgrounds who thrive in a collaborative environment. We operate in an agile-inspired manner across multiple time zones within the United States, with full support for remote work. We build software with modern techniques like TDD, continuous delivery, DevOps, AI, and service-oriented architecture. We focus on high-value solutions for clearly identified problems that are designed in a sustainable way and deliver long term value.

You are excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Be an engaged member of the engineering team—leading meetings, attending ceremonies, contributing to technical design documents, and pairing with other engineers.
• Lead the execution of complex projects within the Discovery team or across multiple engineering teams, collaborating closely with product, design, UX, and data science partners.
• Build features that help clients discover and engage with Stitch Fix—from personalized home feed experiences to surfaces that strengthen the connection between Fix and Freestyle shopping.
• Work on high-visibility problems that directly impact retention and engagement for millions of clients.
• Break down projects into actionable milestones and deliver sustainable results against measurable goals.
• Proactively communicate status updates, scope changes, and timeline shifts to teammates, stakeholders, and leadership.
• Provide technical leadership through mentorship, pairing, timely feedback, and code reviews that encourage the growth of your teammates.
• Actively invest in the professional development and career growth of your teammates.
• Use data to frame business problems and inform technical decisions.
• Influence other engineers toward right-sized solutions that balance quality with pragmatism.
• Participate in on-call rotations and improve the on-call experience for others.

We are excited about you because...

• You have at least five years of professional software development experience, including at least a year in a technical leadership role.
• You're excited about solving problems with front-end technologies—TypeScript, Next.js, React, and CSS/Sass.
• You have worked extensively with back-end frameworks, preferably Ruby on Rails (although we'll consider strong experience in other frameworks).
• You have experience with GraphQL and Apollo, both consuming APIs and designing schemas.
• You set clear priorities and communicate them openly with your team and partners.
• You enjoy mentoring other engineers and creating space for them to grow.
• You enjoy leading technical planning and design, and you're pragmatic about weighing scope against value.
• You enjoy collaborating with product and design partners to shape features, not just implement them.
• You believe strong teams are built on trust, honesty, and clear communication.
• You're curious, kind, and motivated by challenges.
• You focus on what's right for the client.
• You care about building quality—including accessible experiences that work for users of all abilities.
• You appreciate the value of design systems and consistent, reusable components.
