    Job description

    About Centric Software:

    Centric Software® is a global leader, providing an innovative and AI-enabled product-concept-to-commercialization platform for retailers, brands and manufacturers of all sizes. We equip retail, fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home and consumer goods brands with pioneering best-of-breed solutions to plan, design, develop, source, comply, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products. Our technology powers brands to streamline processes, drive efficiency and operate with confidence in an ever-changing market.

    Our story is one of rapid growth, bold ideas and extraordinary opportunities. We’re here to challenge the status quo—and we’re looking for brilliant people who want to do the same. No matter where you are in the world, this is your chance to be part of something exceptional.

    The Opportunity

    Shoppingfeed is seeking an experienced engineering leader to drive the technical evolution of our platform.

    Reporting to the VP of Technology and Architecture (PXM), you will lead the Engineering organisation responsible for the Shoppingfeed platform, providing technical leadership while developing a high-performing engineering culture.

    You’ll be responsible for architecture, engineering delivery, technical strategy and people leadership, ensuring the platform continues to scale while supporting Centric Software’s broader Product Experience Management strategy.

    About the Team

    The Engineering team is primarily based in France and works closely with Product, Support, and Customer Success.

    You’ll lead Engineering Managers / Tech Leads while partnering closely with the Head of Product to ensure successful product delivery.

    What You Will Be Doing

    • Lead and develop the Shoppingfeed Engineering organisation.

    • Define and evolve the platform architecture alongside technical leaders.

    • Own engineering execution, delivery quality and technical excellence.

    • Build scalable engineering processes and improve development practices.

    • Mentor Engineering Managers / Tech Leads.

    • Partner closely with Product Management to execute the product roadmap.

    • Drive architectural decisions that improve scalability, reliability and performance.

    • Champion modern software engineering practices, cloud technologies and DevOps.

    • Ensure engineering decisions balance customer value, technical quality and long-term maintainability.

    • Build an engineering culture focused on collaboration, ownership and continuous improvement.

    What We’re Looking For

    • Proven experience leading software engineering teams within SaaS.

    • Strong technical background with experience in software architecture.

    • Experience managing Engineering Managers or Technical Leads.

    • Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and modern engineering practices.

    • Ability to influence technical direction without being hands-on day-to-day.

    • Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills.

    • Experience building and scaling engineering organisations.

    Technical Background

    • Experience with cloud technologies and modern web architectures is important. Previous experience with PHP or AWS is beneficial but not essential—we’re looking for someone with broad architectural expertise who can quickly understand and guide the existing technology stack rather than a hands-on specialist. 

    Nice to Have

    • Experience within eCommerce, marketplace technologies, PIM, PXM or digital commerce platforms.

    • Experience leading post-acquisition or scaling engineering organisations.

    • Experience working with distributed engineering teams.

    • Fluent French speaking.

    Education & Experience

    • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related discipline.

    • 10+ years’ experience in software engineering.

    • Several years in engineering leadership positions.

    Centric Software provides equal employment opportunities to all qualified applicants without regard to race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, color, age, religion, protected veteran or disability status or genetic information.
