  1. The cart customers interact with on, eventually, all channels at Grainger. Currently this is limited to our main Grainger.com experience.

To give you a picture of our scale, we can see 100,000s orders per day and each one of those has at least one cart, one payment method, and one order calculation. We are a critical component of the customer's experience and require a team that build solutions that scale.

You Will

  • Build applications and develop product design solutions in partnership with engineers, architects, and analysts leading to scalable and maintainable software solutions
  • Utilize (Frontend/Backend/Full Stack) specialized skills based on specific platform or domain as required
  • Implement continuous delivery activities (CICD) and drive engineering best practices
  • Support team activities and pair with peers to work on stories
  • Coach and mentor junior engineers
  • Consistently practice sensible defaults

You Have

  • Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience required
  • 3+ years experience with modern software engineering; designing, building, and deploying scalable software applications required
  • Understanding of distributed system design
  • Experience analyzing and interpreting complex problems and processes
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and DevOps practices
  • Familiarity with building API
