Software Engineer

This position supports two different groups tackling different business domains. While primarily dedicated to one of these groups, there will be occasional opportunities to work on features across both domains.

The Product Inventory team is responsible for building components and services related to inventory and product catalog management, powering other services and products across the Auctane family of offerings.

The Consumer Services team builds features that target our merchants’ customer base, such as branded order tracking and branded returns portals.

As a Software Engineer, Frontend and member of the Product Inventory Services / Consumer Services team, this individual is responsible for the research and planning, development, implementation and maintenance of applications and UI components written primarily in Typescript and React.

Primary Objectives:     

1. Responsible for the research and planning, development, implementation, testing, utilization, monitoring, and administration of applications and new UI components, primarily written in React and Typescript.

3. Responsible for the security, integrity, efficiency and documentation of the applications and UI components.
