Job Description

Picksy is our next-generation product discovery platform connecting shoppers with the things they love across thousands of retail partners. Users save, organize, and share products they're excited about — and our platform turns those signals into a deeply personalized shopping experience. This team owns the foundational product data, services, applications, and integrations that power the Picksy experience.

In-office Expectations: This position is hybrid in-office, with the ability to work remotely for up to 2 days per week.

About The Position | Major goals and objectives and location requirements

____________________________________________________________________________________________

As a Senior Software Engineer on Picksy Services, you'll take ownership of solution design and implementation for scalable, highly available services, while mentoring other engineers and helping shape the team's technical direction.

You will:

  • Partner with engineers across data, web, and mobile experiences to build and evolve the foundational services powering Picksy.
  • Design and implement new services, APIs, and operational monitoring functions.

  • Lead code reviews and mentor other engineers, setting the bar for code quality and advocating for best practices across the team.
  • Drive the identification and prioritization of technical debt.
  • Provide thorough, readable documentation for the services you own.
  • Partner with engineers across the org to establish and align on shared best practices.
  • Bring strong technical judgment to ambiguous problems, and deliver high-quality, complex services under tight timelines.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
