Staff Software Engineer

Description:

Our Opportunity:

Chewy is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for our team in Bellevue, WA. The idea candidate would have experience building cloud-native (AWS preferred), scalable systems that will solve for complex challenges in Chewy’s supply chain, to answer the customer question of “When will I get my item?” by understanding, mapping, and navigating the extensive fulfillment and transportation network of Chewy. Experience with web applications (involving modern JavaScript frameworks like React or Angular), data science infrastructure, as well as domain knowledge of supply chain & logistics, will be beneficial. The engineer will be the tech leader for a newly incubated team and will work with technical, data science, and business teams across Chewy to establish and execute a multi-year vision and roadmap.

What You'll Do:

• Build and consume RESTful endpoints that will meet stringent latency and scale requirements.
• Operationalize science models in the supply chain space and build continuous feedback mechanisms. Evaluate and drive the corresponding technology choices.
• Integrate your endpoints with various customer flows on the website and mobile app, cutting across multiple technical and product areas/teams.
• Drive innovation through rapid prototyping and iterative development.
• Partner with engineers across Chewy to evolve the architecture direction and philosophy, and be the go-to engineer for your part of the platform.
• Ensure your systems are fully CICD (or build a roadmap to it, if not there yet). Limit technical debt.
• Hire, train, mentor and grow new talent, to support Chewy’s rapid growth in engineering teams.
• Conduct design and code reviews and raise the bar on engineering rigor and standard.
• Debug production issues across services and tech stack.
• Continuously measure and optimize the performance, effectiveness, and uptime of backend services.
• Participate in setting guidelines for evolving development practices, as well as mentoring junior engineers.
