Senior Software Engineer, Complex Products
Storefront Engineering is in the enviable position of being able to speak directly to our customers. Through powerful technology, we make shopping our millions of products feel simple and personal, whether customers are just browsing while on-the-go on our native app or finalizing purchase decisions on the desktop from the comfort of their home. As Wayfair continues to see massive growth, Storefront Engineering is going through a major technology transition, empowering teams to build services and interfaces that can be updated and deployed independently. We are on the journey to build the tools and services to deliver value to our customers more quickly, all in an environment where engineering teams have the autonomy to make the right decision for themselves and their product.
The mission of the Complex Products team is to unlock growth by delighting customers when they purchase any F&D products, complex products, and samples. The Complex space typically has high optionality and high configurability products. These products can be confusing to shop and our mission is to enable customers to find and create these products easily & clearly without overwhelming them.
