We’re a team of engineers, creators, and misfits building the ultimate visual engine for the fashion world. If you believe the future of fashion is smart, automated, and breathtakingly beautiful, you’re already one of us.

Modelia is exploding. Our tools are redefining how fashion brands create content, and the industry is watching. But to lead the category, we need more than just great ideas.

• Instill a culture of AI-powered productivity: automate, use AI assistants, and integrate AI tools at every step.
• Act as the performance gatekeeper: measure, assess, and raise the bar for your team continuously.
• Collaborate with the CTO, Product, and AI research team to align technical execution with business goals.

• Lead development across Web, Studio, and Shopify applications, ensuring designs from the Design Team are translated into production-quality code using Typescript, Tailwind CSS, React, Node.js, Express.js, VIKE SSR and Playwright.

• Maintain and evolve our Shopify application, ensuring seamless integrations, top performance, and long-term maintainability.
• Implement SEO technical tasks on the website to maximize visibility and growth.
• Manage translations across our Web platform, Studio, and Shopify apps for global users.
• Design, implement, and secure authentication flows (user login/authorization, API key generation, internal customer portals).
• Oversee internal portals: develop and maintain customer-facing dashboards and tools.
• Integrate APIs from the IT team and build proxy servers in TypeScript so front-end code communicates efficiently with FastAPI services and other back-end endpoints.
• Optimize website performance: design data flows (polling, webhooks, pub/sub) that keep interactions smooth and scalable. Our website needs to FLY.
• Enforce state management best practices, ensuring clarity, predictability, and maintainability in complex interfaces.
