Job Description

WHY JOIN ALO?

Mindful movement. It’s at the core of why we do what we do at ALO—it’s our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That’s the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.

Overview

We’re seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Retail Systems engineering team.
Own the technical vision, roadmap, and delivery of systems that power Alo’s store operations and omnichannel retail experiences.
Work at the intersection of retail technology, store launches, physical store operations, and platform reliability.
Partner closely with internal teams and external vendors to ensure store systems are scalable, reliable, and operationally effective.
This role requires strong technical judgment, hands-on architecture experience, and proven people leadership in a retail/store systems context, with a pragmatic mindset for real-world store environments.

Responsibilities

Lead, grow, and coach a team of engineers (ICs and senior engineers), fostering a high-performance, ownership-first culture.
Recruit, retain, and mentor strong engineering talent; run performance reviews and career development plans.
Promote engineering excellence, accountability, and continuous learning across the team.
Own the Retail Systems technical roadmap and delivery, aligning priorities with business, store operations, and omnichannel goals.
Translate complex business and operational requirements into scalable, reliable, and maintainable technical solutions.
Provide architectural and technical leadership for store-facing systems including POS, inventory receiving, and omnichannel order fulfillment (ship-from-store, BOPIS, returns, cancellations).
Deep dive into technology requirements for store launches and expansions, including localization, regional compliance, taxation, and operational readiness where applicable.
Own technical readiness for store launches, including go-live planning, cutover execution, launch checklists, and post-launch hypercare.
Support date-driven store launches, including after-hours or weekend cutovers when required.
Partner closely with Retail Operations, ERP, Franchise Management, Store Operations, Product, and Finance.
Collaborate directly with store managers and store teams to understand operational pain points and deliver pragmatic, easy-to-adopt technology solutions.
Ensure systems work effectively in physical retail environments, including POS systems, store hardware, peripherals, and unreliable network conditions.
