Senior Developer - Pro Services

POSITION PURPOSE - 

We are seeking software engineers interested in building a career with one of the world’s largest home improvement retailers, operating in more than 2,200 store locations in the U.S, Canada and Mexico. We build software with cutting-edge technologies that scale to support 400,000 associates and millions of customers every day.

We are an Extreme Programming team that believes in test-driven development, working at a sustainable pace, and continuous deployment. We automate anything we have to do twice, and empower our engineering teams to make design decisions and pick the right tools for the job. We are looking for engineers who enjoy pair programming in a fun and open environment and have superb communication skills within a cross-functional team.

Our team values a thorough understanding of object-oriented programming and design patterns, and we love to talk about them! We value generalists over specialists; everyone rotates through the full code base and works with both front-end and back-end web technologies on any given day. No line of code goes un-tested. We mercilessly refactor and aim to leave the code cleaner than we found it with every commit.

You are a confident engineer with a wide breadth of experience. You are in touch with the software engineering community and bring new practices and technologies to the team. You enjoy coaching junior developers and always lead by example. You seek opportunities to teach as well as learn every day.
