Wayfair has thousands of services running in Kubernetes, powering everything from our order processing pipelines, to our media ingestion systems, and our interfaces with suppliers. The Application Lifecycle team focuses on helping engineers create new applications, maintain those applications, and finally decommission those that reach end of life. We work across platform teams, infrastructure teams, and engineering teams with a focus on developer UX. We build scalable systems that reduce toil, address tech debt, enable rapid iteration and ultimately empower Wayfair’s thousands of engineers to fully own their applications.
