In 2016, we founded Provi as an innovative ordering solution, aimed to disrupt the 240-billion dollar alcohol industry with a product that would move beyond the constant chaos: the texts, paper stacks, missed phone calls and lost communication that has dominated the purchasing workflow between buyers and distributors for decades.
Today, Provi is better than ever. We’ve created a best-in-class ordering solution that better connects beverage alcohol professionals across 35 states and growing, with more than 750,000 product listings that make up the most expansive and trusted database of U.S. distributor portfolios.
As Provi continues to grow as a leader in the B2B digital marketplace for the wholesale alcohol industry, we are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Marketplace Team, responsible for developing and enhancing the core platform that powers our customer and partner experiences. This role focuses on managing a team of engineers to deliver high-performing, scalable, and maintainable micro-frontends while driving the migration from legacy systems to modern architectures. In addition, you will oversee the development of internal tools that enhance operational efficiency and empower teams across the organization. Leveraging your expertise in micro-frontend frameworks, modern web technologies, and cloud-native platforms, you will enable Provi to offer seamless, reliable, and innovative solutions for both marketplace users and internal stakeholders.
