With locations in Seattle, Reno, Columbus and Bethlehem, our team is excited to be changing the way people shop every day - and we are just getting started.

As a Software Engineer II at zulily, you are chartered with building the technology that powers the second fastest growing online retailer in history.  Our incredible growth means we face new challenges on a consistent basis.  In this position, you must explore new technologies and collaborate with other engineers to design and build world-class technical services.  Your team deploys production code rapidly to keep pace with zulily’s changing business, you are mindful of avoiding technical debt, and you take ownership of your team's roadmap and everything you do. This role is ideal if you have experience working on large/enterprise distributed systems and cloud-supported back end databases. We hire generalists...full stack software engineers with superior coding skills. 

The AMP team is unique. This team's job is to build tech that brings in new customers. If we can bring in new customers, the revenue goes up. It couldn’t get more visible and impactful than this! It starts with simple things like ad automation to more advanced areas like ad recommendations and optimizations. Commercial cloud services can perform all of this, but they work with static product catalogs; zulily's model is based on flash sales. The tech only has 72 hours to get the signals, process them with proprietary algorithms, and take an action.
