You’ll do all this while growing your skills within a company that is redefining the furniture industry.
About the Software Engineering team: You'll join a highly competent engineering team of 8 software engineers as part of a broader department of roughly 30 tech professionals, reporting to the Sr. Manager of Software Engineering. We work across frontend applications, backend services, databases, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
We are a modern, adaptable engineering organization built around micro-sized squads (typically 1–2 engineers) with full-stack ownership. We use Claude AI to understand complex codebases fast and skip dense documentation.
We are a hybrid team - you'll be in the office 3 days per week.
