It's our time to scale. It's your time to be part of something big.

Tulip's mission is bold. We're a team of experts who have worked with and for retailers over the past 20 years. We are driven to disrupt an entire industry and enable one of the world's largest job markets.

Tulip has built a retail mobile software platform that empowers leading retailers such as Mulberry, Chanel, Saks Fifth Avenue, Kate Spade, Coach, and Michael Kors to give mobile devices to their store associates so they can elevate service, sell more and provide a personalized experience.

Tulip is a place you come to make an impact, working with like-minded people to build something meaningful using the best technology. We are growing, and while lean is great, we need more people, energy, innovation and talent.

As a Development Manager, you will lead a small, dedicated team of engineers focused on developing and enhancing a specialized SaaS application. As part of a larger organization, your team will work in close collaboration with other engineering teams while maintaining full ownership of your application’s roadmap, development, and performance. In this role, you'll oversee and mentor engineers, manage project timelines, and ensure high-quality code delivery. While your team’s current focus is on a single application, there is potential for expanded responsibilities as the group and organization evolve. This role offers an exciting opportunity to drive innovation, foster a collaborative culture, and build scalable solutions within a growing engineering environment.

What will you do:

Lead and manage a team of engineers working on new features and tackling technical challenges Set strategic goals for the engineering team, aligning with Tulip’s overall objectives. Partner with Product team to build the roadmap, plan and prioritize sprint tasks, and implement new features Maintain and develop a scalable platform infrastructure to support current needs and scale for future growth Oversee recruitment, training, and retention of our engineering staff, nurturing talent, and fostering a positive work environment. Conduct performance reviews, offer constructive feedback, and champion continued learning and development. Be an active member of the company’s engineering team and work closely with department stakeholders, serving as a link between the broader business goals and our technological capabilities

Tulip has perks, career progress, and an intimate culture. We have:

Embraced remote culture! Work remotely, permanently, and full-time. An excellent healthcare plan with no wait time, paid parental leave, and corporate gym rates. A culture of openness and idea generation. We have weekly all-hands and quarterly town halls. We pride ourselves on our transparency and keeping it real. From the most senior to the newest team member, we give you access to decision makers and career building work. The opportunity to grow and apply new skills be it hands-on or leadership. We prioritize diversity, inclusion, and building a community. We're a little weird but in a good way. Ability for employees in many roles to choose to work a 4½ or 4-day week. A “workcation” benefit that’ll let you work reduced hours in order to extend your vacations

Why we are awesome

Tulip is hungry and humble. When you join Tulip, you'll be part of a strong, thriving, diverse group of people who come from different disciplines, countries, and experiences. We do what we love and it shows in our unrelenting pursuit of affecting real change. We believe in investing in our people, building positive relationships with our customers, and treating our work like our craft. 

Tulip is at the cutting edge of technology. We work with big-name retailers. It's a chance to step up to solving complex technical problems and develop a deeper understanding of the retail world while being part of a niche startup style company. We don't fear failure; we embrace challenges. We're excited about taking the lesser known paths, using the open source tools and keeping up with the pace of evolving tech solutions. It's fun, it's fast, and it's future-focused.

Tulip gives back. Inspired, passionate, and committed people helped make us the successful company we are today. We challenge norms and put people before profits. Our CEO, Ali Asaria, created The Tulip Foundation, a charity controlled by all of us, the employees. We believe we can build a great company that changes the technical space while simultaneously giving back to society and the community.
