Software Development Engineer, Woot

Job Overview Do you want to have a large impact on a growing business? Do you want to have a wide breadth of ownership? Do you want to see your impact daily on both internal and external customers? Do you want to collaborate with the kind of folks who would enjoy selling something called a "Bag of Crap" almost as much as our customers love buying them? Woot! is the original daily deals website, combining an entertaining shopping experience with deals so good they literally can't last long. Our engineering teams build the web and app experiences our customers use to browse and purchase, build the tools and automation that help us to find the right deals at the right time among millions of options, and build the tools that powers Woot's business. Key Responsibilities Unlock Woot's growth by innovating the systems and tools that power Woot's business‐within‐a‐business – customer service, fulfillment, and finance functions to name a few. Design, develop, and improve systems, owning the entire lifecycle – from working with the product team, to design and architecture, to implementation and release, to operations. Work with a wide array of technologies every day, including SNS, Lambda, Typescript, NextJS, CDK, REST, C#, and DynamoDB. Work closely with internal customers to drive new solutions that impact internal and external customers. Technical Responsibilities Technical ownership and system design: take full ownership of strategic projects, building scalable, low‐latency products and services while designing fault‐tolerant distributed systems across teams. Code quality and engineering excellence: deliver high‐quality, cloud‐first AWS solutions using technologies such as Lambda, Fargate, and ML while maintaining operational excellence and identifying technical improvements. Leadership and mentorship: collaborate with and mentor junior engineers, conduct technical assessments and code reviews, and make independent medium‐impact decisions while considering diverse perspectives. Cross‐functional impact: convert business requirements to technical designs through stakeholder collaboration, shape product direction, and leverage worldwide platforms to build decoupled solutions that drive business outcomes. Technical influence: work with senior engineers to evolve product design, set software quality standards, and demonstrate technical influence across multiple teams while focusing on long‐term scalability. Day in the Life You'll spend time designing scalable solutions for complex projects, writing clean code with AWS services, and reviewing pull requests from teammates. You'll collaborate with product managers to turn business needs into technical designs, mentor junior engineers through challenging problems, and make architectural decisions that impact multiple systems. Beyond the typical coding and reviews, you might lead technical discussions, drive best practices across teams, or dive deep into performance optimizations. About the Team You'll join the Conversion Team, where we power Woot's checkout and post‐purchase experience. Our mission is to deliver seamless, scalable, and flexible solutions that empower our customers and partners, ensuring they can transact securely and efficiently. We solve complex problems for our customers – from optimizing every step of the checkout journey to expanding payment options and simplifying the support experience with self‐service features and modern communication capabilities such as chat. Our team maintains and evolves key connectivity services including the Federated GraphQL Platform, Product Ingestion, Order History, and Customer Support Platforms that are essential to both customer experience and business operations.
