Description:
We're looking for the few individuals that have the knowledge, passion, and drive to change the way we shop for items online. We are deploying the latest technology to support the highest quality user experience while gathering the data we need to support a data driven decision making process.
We are developing advanced technology including:
•Single page checkout screens, using AJAX to support modifications.
•Tight integration with logistics vendors to streamline the complete order fulfillment process.
•Automated, live A/B testing focused on increasing customer conversion rates.
•Advanced, live, scalable inventory management systems.
•Unique, world class online experiences.
•And much more.
Our philosophy is to deliver the world's best technology using small, agile, efficient teams built with only the world's best talent.
Your work here involves not just our website, but all the key back-end business functions that run our business, including purchasing, receiving, inventory management, shipping and customer intelligence. In our rapid software development lifecycle environment, you'll see the meaningful results of your work quickly, sometimes within weeks. And we offer an honest and open environment, highly receptive to your ideas, highlighted by weekly tech team offsite hackfests. Our company is growing rapidly and we’re looking for a few very talented, highly qualified developers to help us stay ahead of the growth. Take step one on your new career by applying today. Relocation assistance are available for qualified candidates.
As a Senior Software Engineer in New York's Chelsea district, one of your first missions will be learning Ruby to supplement your solid background in object-oriented development. You're likely to thrive in this role with 5 years C/C++ coding in environments where the performance implications of applications you designed, architected and built were paramount. Ideally, you then took those skills into website development, learned J2EE, Python or PHP, and perhaps Rails, and worked on high performance, highly scalable websites.
Here are a few of the meaningful projects currently on our docket:
•Redesigning the back-end UI for a better user experience. Keep in mind that the public website is only a small portion of the overall technology used in our business. You'll also get a chance to design a new admin website, and create a portal into our business processes, work that will involve a bit of architecture as well as the UI. You'll be automating business processes across the enterprise, from purchasing to receiving to inventory control and shipping. We'll look to your insights in how we can automate complex business processes, and how we can better organize data. Your ability to understand and design key workflows so you can contribute to the overall network architecture and database design, will be key.
•Designing, architecting and building our reporting infrastructure. You'll approach this design heavy function almost as a data warehouse project. You'll help our organization ID those members of our site who are our most valuable, to forecast future customer behavior and help us to better estimate what types of merchandise, and how much of it, to purchase.
What makes working here enviable is that we foster a learning and educational environment. We use new ideas and incorporate the latest technologies to address the very issues that prove vexing when you buy online!
