Senior Engineering Manager, Storefront

ABOUT QUINCE

Founded in 2018, Quince was built to challenge the idea that nice things have to cost a lot. Our mission is simple: to make really high quality essentials for really low prices, produced fairly and sustainably. We believe everyone deserves exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design without the traditional markups. Quince is a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model that cuts out middlemen and leverages just-in-time manufacturing to minimize waste and maximize value.

• Customer First:
  We prioritize customer satisfaction in every decision.
• High Quality:
  True quality means premium materials and rigorous production standards you can feel good about.
• Essential Design:
  We focus on timeless, functional essentials instead of chasing trends.
• Always a Better Deal:
  Innovation and transparency ensure value for both customers and partners.
• Social & Environmental Responsibility:
  We commit to sustainable materials, ethical production, and fair wages.

At Quince, you will be part of a high‑performing team that is redefining what quality, value, and sustainability mean in modern retail. We are a destination for builders, innovators, and operators to come together and challenge the status quo. Our collective ambition is bold. We are creating an entirely new category and customer experience – one that democratizes luxury and provides high quality products at radically low prices.

That mission demands a world‑class team committed to excellence.
