As a lead engineer, you serve as the technical anchor for the engineering team that supports a product. You create, own and are responsible for the application architecture that best serves the product in its functional and non-functional needs. You identify and drive architectural changes to accelerate feature development or improve the quality of service (or both). You have deep and broad engineering skills and are capable of standing up an architecture in its whole on your own, but you choose to influence a wider team by acting as a “force multiplier”. Core responsibilities of this job are described within this job description. Job duties may change at any time due to business needs.

The Properties, Demand Planning Team is building applications and tools that ensure the right indirect materials — like construction supplies and equipment such as refrigerators — get to the right place at the right time. These materials support new store programs as well as remodel projects across the enterprise.

Our team is tackling real-world challenges such as manual and error-prone processes, unclear data ownership, and limited visibility into changes and their downstream impact. A critical part of our mission is to simplify complex workflows through intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that empower our partners to make smarter, data-driven decisions with confidence. If you’re excited about simplifying complex workflows and enabling smarter, data-driven decisions — we’d love to have you on the team.
