Job Details
Costco IT is responsible for the technical future of Costco Wholesale, the third largest retailer in the world with wholesale operations in fourteen countries. Despite our size and explosive international expansion, we continue to provide a family, employee centric atmosphere in which our employees thrive and succeed. As proof, Costco ranks Eighth in Forbes "World's Best Employers".
This is an environment unlike anything in the high-tech world and the secret of Costco's success is its culture. The value Costco puts on its employees is well documented in articles from a variety of publishers including Bloomberg and Forbes. Our employees and our members come FIRST. Costco is well known for its generosity and community service and has won many awards for its philanthropy. The company joins with its employees to take an active role in volunteering by sponsoring many opportunities to help others.
Come join the Costco Wholesale IT family. Costco IT is a dynamic, fast-paced environment, working through exciting transformation efforts. We are building the next generation retail environment where you will be surrounded by dedicated and highly professional employees.
Software Engineers perform development work across the technology stack (both front-end/back-end expertise). They are versatile in how they can add value, demonstrating the ability to manage the completion of projects that involve databases, backend services, or the development of front-end applications. They should be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of emerging technologies to support the development of new solutions. Software Engineers understand the full technology stack and underlying applications, services, and databases in order to ensure optimal performance.
The eCommerce Website Development Software Engineer is responsible for the overall design of a product and the definition of the technical blueprints/designs to fulfill specific requirements. They provide technical expertise to Product Managers and the Development Pods as they reconcile the users' needs and requirements with what the engineers have determined to be doable within the given (engineering) constraints. They work closely with Solution Architects, Product Managers, POD teams, and Product Owners to support the implementation and delivery of new and/or enhanced capabilities. Lastly, they are responsible for defining non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, resilience, etc.) to ensure the scalability and reliability of a given product within a complex ecosystem.
If you want to be a part of one of the worldwide BEST companies "to work for", simply apply and let your career be reimagined.

Conducts peer code reviews for the software changes made by other engineers within a team.
Collaborates with Environment Analysts to define and refine the environment strategy needed to support day-to-day development activities.
Defines product/application specific coding standards and patterns to guide the implementation of new features and capabilities.
Supports the planning and execution of functional and non-functional (e.g., performance, fail-over, etc.) testing activities.
Provides technical expertise in establishing specific coding standards, patterns, and procedures.
Supervises systems and data analysis performed by Full Stack Engineers on products/applications to understand functional design requirements.
Defines remediation tactics for large and complex defects impacting several features and/or capabilities within a given product/application.
Supervises the development and preparation of technical documentation (e.g., runbooks, etc.).
Drives operational efficiency and technical growth by mentoring PODs through documentation, workshops, and other methods in the areas of software applications design, development, automation, CI/CD pipeline, and architecture.
Provides active support for business-critical outage situations.
