Your Impact
As a Lead Software Engineer, you will use your expertise to guide and support your team to develop and successfully implement complex software solutions.

Additionally, you'll personally develop and deliver code modules and stable application systems, contributing to integrated software solutions for post purchase returns and exchanges.
Shape the future of Retail Tech
Our CEO is forward-thinking when it comes to tech, and with one of Forbes' Top 50 CIOs leading the charge, you can come to work knowing you'll have the data, tools, and support that few other companies can offer.

We've been around for over 100 years, so we're not going anywhere. You'll have the stability you need to focus on looking to the future and bringing your team there with you.
