As a Senior Engineer, you serve as a specialist in the engineering team that supports the product. You help develop and gain insight in the application architecture.

You show expertise in applying the appropriate software engineering patterns to build robust and scalable systems. You are an expert in programming and apply your skills in developing the product. You have the skills to design and implement the architecture on your own, but choose to influence your fellow engineers by proposing software designs, providing feedback on software designs and/or implementation.

About this Team:
Digital Checkout (DCO) owns the services behind Add to Cart, View Cart, and Checkout for Target.com and the Target app. We grow, deepen, and simplify those capabilities, and we keep them secure, reliable, and ready for scale.
Our services sit between Web, iOS, and Android and the enterprise systems that power pricing, promotions, fulfillment, loyalty, and order capture, so the same purchase path works across digital and store experiences.
You’ll work on systems guests use every time they buy, from high-demand launches and fulfillment choices to Circle and loyalty benefits and the ongoing re-platform of checkout. You’ll partner closely with product, guest experience, and enterprise domain teams, and the decisions you make show up directly in how simple and dependable the purchase experience is for guests.
Use your skills, experience, and talents to shape how guests add to cart and check out. As a Sr. Engineer, you’ll take the lead as you design and implement production-quality services, evaluate new technologies for fit, maintainability, and cost, and turn proof-of-concept work into systems the team can run. You’ll lead code and design reviews, testing, and debugging, and take part in building, automating, and releasing changes that meet architectural and operational standards. You’ll coach other engineers through complex technical issues, keep the services you own healthy in production, and contribute to disaster recovery so problems are found and fixed quickly.
