As we continue to scale our global platform, the Software Engineer III will play a critical role in designing and delivering scalable warehouse management and fulfillment systems across Fanatics' global fulfillment and wholesale network.
ROLE OVERVIEW
The Software Engineer III is a senior individual contributor embedded across multiple concurrent fulfillment and supply chain workstreams, partnering closely with engineering, product, and operations teams to solve complex warehouse execution challenges. This role owns end-to-end technical delivery — from system design and configuration through to production-grade reliability — across Fanatics' warehouse management platforms, including hands-on expertise with Tier 1 WMS solutions such as Manhattan Active. The Software Engineer III delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.
HOW WILL YOU DRIVE IMPACT

Team & Leadership Impact (Build Championship Teams)
- Partner cross-functionally with operations, product, and engineering teams to translate complex supply chain business needs into well-architected technical solutions.
- Actively raise the technical bar across the team by championing software design best practices, contributing to architecture decisions, and mentoring peers through code review and shared standards.
- Serve as a reliable delivery partner across concurrent workstreams, aligning with stakeholders to maintain clarity on priorities, progress, and risk.
Fan & Customer Impact (Obsessed with Fans)
- Ensure fulfillment systems operate with the speed, accuracy, and reliability that directly enables on-time delivery and a seamless experience for Fanatics customers and fans.
- Design and configure high-performance, real-time warehouse execution solutions — covering fulfillment flows, inventory management, and material handling automation — that minimize disruption and maximize throughput.
- Lead root cause investigations on complex inventory flow issues, implementing permanent fixes that protect order accuracy and fulfillment quality at scale.
- Continuously optimize warehouse processes in partnership with operations teams, reducing friction and improving outcomes for end customers.
Innovation & Problem Solving (Limitless Entrepreneurial Spirit)
- Build and evolve orchestration solutions for fulfillment workflows using event-driven architectures, microservices, and APIs that enable seamless, scalable warehouse execution.
- Explore and evaluate emerging technologies — including workflow orchestration platforms such as Temporal — to modernize fulfillment system capabilities.
- Drive integration of warehouse automation systems (WES, WCS, WMS) to unlock new levels of operational efficiency and warehouse intelligence.
- Apply rigorous engineering judgment to identify systemic issues, design durable solutions, and continuously improve system resilience and performance.
Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)
- Take end-to-end ownership of software design, configuration, and delivery across multiple warehouse management and fulfillment workstreams, ensuring quality and reliability at every stage.
- Operate with a bias toward action in Agile/Scrum environments, maintaining delivery momentum across complex, multi-team projects.
- Proactively identify technical debt, architectural gaps, and process inefficiencies — and drive resolution without waiting to be asked.
- Hold a high bar for production-grade quality, applying disciplined testing, monitoring, and incident response practices across all owned systems.

We are building a future-ready organization. This role is expected to:
- Apply AI and technology to improve efficiency, quality, and outcomes
