Sr Manager, eCommerce Technology

Purpose:

The Sr. Manager, eCommerce Technology, leads the eCommerce Engineers responsible for building and delivering Floor and Decor's digital systems. This role owns the day-to-day leadership of the eCommerce engineering organization — translating the Sr. Director’s technology strategy into staffed, well-run engineering pods that consistently deliver on roadmap commitments.

The Sr. Manager partners closely with the Sr. Director, eCommerce Technology and the eCommerce Architect to align staffing, delivery plans, and technical direction, while building a high-performing, full-stack engineering organization grounded in React, Java, and large-scale commerce platforms such as Salesforce Commerce Cloud or WebSphere Commerce. This leader also champions modern engineering practices — including the responsible use of AI-assisted (“vibe coding”) development tools — to raise team velocity and quality across the organization.
