Engineering Manager, Migrations Team at Ordergroove
Who We Are:
Ordergroove is a dynamic, fast-paced environment where you will be involved in building something of real value from the ground up. We're looking for bright, talented people who are excited about innovation, growth, and the exciting world of Relationship Commerce. If you’re motivated by a desire to solve problems and deliver groundbreaking insights and solutions you’ll fit in perfectly!
About the role:
Our Migrations Team is entering an exciting new chapter: expanding our migrations capability into a true White-Glove offering for our customers, one that removes friction for merchants, gives them confidence from day one, and materially elevates their onboarding experience.
To make this possible, we’re hiring an Engineering Manager who is equal parts hands-on engineer, data problem-solver, customer whisperer, and team leader.
This is not a typical engineering management job. It’s a hybrid leadership + technical + customer-facing role for someone who loves structure-building as much as rolling up their sleeves.
You will oversee a senior team focused on data ingestion, transformation, and enterprise-level technical support. You’ll be the internal and external face of migrations, guiding merchants through a complex process that deeply impacts their recurring revenue.
This is an opportunity to design the “new way” Ordergroove executes migrations, tighten ingestion quality, streamline processes, reduce friction, and ensure merchants feel supported and confident every step of the way.
