Full Job Description
This is a senior individual contributor role. We're ideally looking for someone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but we're open to remote for the right candidate - with the expectation of occasional in-person collaboration.

What You'll Do

  • Own the end-to-end execution of A/B tests and personalization campaigns across Solo Brands' e-commerce properties
  • Act as the first responder for high-priority, time-sensitive front-end requests - including executive-driven initiatives that need to move fast without sacrificing quality
  • Partner closely with the UX Team to translate concepts into clear, dev-ready requirements for the engineering team
  • Implement front-end solutions directly when speed demands it - you're not just an architect, you build
  • Architect and maintain our experimentation and personalization framework, establishing best practices, governance, and a test-and-learn culture
  • Use data to inform solution design, define success metrics, and drive continuous improvement across the customer journey
  • Ensure page speed, usability, and accessibility are foundational to every solution - not afterthoughts
  • Evaluate and recommend tools, platforms, and integrations that improve experimentation velocity and personalization capabilities
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with UX, CX, marketing, and product stakeholders to identify optimization opportunities
  • Contribute to technical discovery and scoping for larger digital initiatives


What You Bring

Required

  • Deep front-end development expertise - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React; you can build and ship production-quality UI without a net
  • Hands-on experience with A/B testing and personalization platforms - you've run experiments end-to-end, not just watched them
  • Strong understanding of e-commerce environments, customer journeys, and conversion optimization
  • Experience working with or directing development teams, including writing clear technical requirements
  • A data-driven mindset - you use analytics and performance data to guide decisions and measure outcomes, not just gut instinct
  • Demonstrated commitment to web performance and accessibility standards (Core Web Vitals, WCAG) as a baseline, not a checkbox
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity - you can take a rough executive idea on a Tuesday and have a working prototype by Thursday
  • 3+ years of relevant experience with a bachelor's degree, or 5+ years of equivalent experience without a degree


Preferred

  • Experience with Salesforce Commerce Cloud
  • js experience
  • Back-end or database development experience
  • Familiarity with headless or composable commerce architectures
  • Experience working within a multi-brand or enterprise DTC environment
  • Background in both technical implementation and strategic experimentation roadmapping


You Might Be a Fit If You...

  • Have been the person your team calls when something needs to go live now
  • Can context-switch between writing a PRD and pushing a React fix in the same afternoon
  • Think about experimentation as a discipline, not just a tactic
  • Care deeply about how usable and how accessible your work is - every time, not just when someone asks
  • Thrive indipendently and operate as a true owner
