At Suitsupply, we’re looking for a Tech Lead Shopify to own the technical vision for our global headless storefront on Shopify Hydrogen. The platform is TypeScript-first, serves 26+ countries and multiple languages, and lives inside a monorepo shared with other customer-facing applications. The platform is young and the technical direction is still being defined.
You won’t just write code. You’ll decide how the storefront evolves, set the standards the team works by, and be accountable for the quality and scalability of what ships. You’ll lead a team of frontend engineers and work closely with a product manager and designer.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll be deep in the code while also making the architectural calls that shape the platform for years to come.
What you will do:
- Define and own the technical architecture of the storefront across markets, languages, and devices
- Lead a team of frontend engineers through architectural decisions, code reviews, pairing, and hands-on guidance
- Make the call on technology choices, patterns, and trade-offs, and communicate the reasoning to the team and stakeholders
- Balance delivery velocity with technical health. Proactively manage technical debt and know when to invest in it
- Own the integration strategy, from Shopify’s APIs and UI Extensions to Sanity CMS and third-party systems for payments and logistics
- Define the testing strategy alongside QA engineers, covering unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage
- Set and continuously raise the bar for performance, accessibility, security, and reliability
- Drive the frontend chapter, establishing shared standards for development practices, monitoring, and ways of working that extend beyond your own team
Who you are:
- You have 5+ years of experience building production web applications with React and TypeScript in Next.JS, of which 1+ year as Tech Lead
- You think in systems. You can design component architectures, integration patterns, and data flows that scale across markets and teams
- You’re experienced with headless commerce and fluent in the technologies around it: GraphQL, headless CMS integration, and monorepo-scale development. Shopify Hydrogen is ideal, but deep experience with other platforms counts
- You’ve solved real problems around multi-market e-commerce, web performance, production observability, and security at scale, not just implemented patterns others defined
- You hold yourself and your team to a high standard. You care about code quality, developer experience, and building a culture of ownership
- You communicate effectively across the organization, from engineers to leadership, and can translate technical trade-offs into business terms
- Broader knowledge of the Shopify ecosystem, such as Functions and app development, is a plus. Above all, we value strong fundamentals and the ability to lead over expertise in any specific tool
What you will get:
- A young platform where your architectural decisions define how it scales
- Ownership with trust — real influence over technical direction
- International engineering environment at our Amsterdam HQ
- 40% staff discount on Suitsupply products
- Strong growth paths in leadership, architecture, and domain depth

Founded in Europe in 2000, Suitsupply has grown to over 90 international stores in cities such as Milan, London, Zurich, Amsterdam, New York, Toronto, Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong. In addition to our ever-expanding number of brick-and-mortar locations, we maintain a strong online presence, allowing Suitsupply to bring our style and top-tier service to all corners of the globe.
In an industry where fast fashion dominates and craftsmanship is fast disappearing, Suitsupply introduces a better option: one where no attention to detail or quality is ever spared. That’s why we use only the finest Italian fabrics sourced from mills such as Ferla, E. Thomas, Larusmiani and Vitale Barberis Canonico.
We have received widespread accolade from the likes of GQ, Esquire, and, perhaps most notably, a Wall Street Journal blind test that rated a $600 Suitsupply suit in a first-place tie with a $3,600 Armani.
While high-quality suiting at an affordable price point remain at the core of all that we do, our versatile range includes jackets, trousers, outerwear, shoes, accessories and attire available as prêt à porter and made-to-measure.
At Suitsupply, we pride ourselves in taking innovative approaches to traditional problems. This has led to the development of technologies such as our Design Your Own feature, our Garmentor app, and a commitment to in-house tailoring, providing quick alterations while you wait for a perfect fit every time. Each and every sales associate receives in-depth training through our acclaimed Suit School, bringing the unmatched level of passion and expertise that make Suitsupply’s customer service stand out.
The message is clear. We believe that nobody should leave Suitsupply with anything less than a perfect fit. If you’re equally devoted to quality, check out our jobs page for opportunities to join us.
