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.
About The Team
The Browse team works to make the Wayfair shopping experience easy, fast, and effective for all customers. We take a customer's general idea and help them narrow it down to a specific product by building and supporting sorting, filtering, navigation, and product viewing options. Nearly all customers will use Browse features while doing their shopping across multiple retail brands all over the world, so speed, scale, and elegant design are an absolute requirement. We are building a world class platform using the latest technologies to achieve this exciting goal.
