Experience developing services in highly available and large scale distributed systems

Experience with PostgreSQL and GraphQL a plus
Degree in Computer Science, technical discipline or equivalent work experience

What the job involves

Design systems and write code to implement high-quality, scalable services with effective boundaries that will support our long term vision & strategy
Drive high-impact architectural decisions and development, design, execution, and delivery following best coding practices
Focus on production readiness for the team including testing, monitoring, deployment, documentation and proactive troubleshooting
Influence and contribute to the technical growth of teammates and develop products aligned with the long term strategy

Our take

Wayfair emerged in the early era of eCommerce with a mission to revolutionise online shopping, offering customers a convenient platform to purchase goods. Today, it stands as one of the foremost global players in the online furniture delivery industry, boasting an impressive inventory of over 33 million products.

Renowned for its extensive product range and comprehensive service offerings, Wayfair distinguishes itself by providing an end-to-end customer experience, from browsing to doorstep delivery. Despite its prominence, the company faces profitability challenges attributed largely to expansion expenses. Nonetheless, its solid presence in the competitive online homeware sector solidifies its position as a key contender.

With ambitious global expansion plans, Wayfair remains committed to maintaining its leadership in the industry. As it aspires to become the ultimate destination for all home needs, its more recent ventures into physical retail represent significant strides toward this overarching goal.
