White Cap
A position at White Cap isn’t your ordinary job. You’ll work in an exciting and diverse environment, meet interesting people, and have a variety of career opportunities.
The White Cap family is committed to Building Trust on Every Job. We do this by being deeply knowledgeable, fully capable, and always dependable, and our associates are the driving force behind this commitment.
We are seeking an accomplished IT Director to lead our e-commerce technology team in executing a multi-year omnichannel strategy aimed at growing our website revenue to over $1 billion. This pivotal role involves managing complex projects such as a headless migration, developing innovative B2B features, and leveraging commerce engines to deliver a seamless, customer-centric shopping experience across multiple channels.
We’re hiring a Tech Lead to be the technical lead for one of three migration squads, partnering with Product and UX to improve navigation, usability, and the overall experience for both customers and associates (e.g., sales/branch staff). You’ll guide a modern React/Next.js front end backed by an API-first platform, coach full-stack & back-end engineers, and deliver incrementally using a strangler-fig approach—shipping headless pages behind feature flags while maintaining business continuity.
