Job Description

Job Id: R0000399515

About us:

Working at Target means helping all families discover the joy of everyday life. We bring that vision to life through our values and culture.


As a lead engineer, you serve as the technical anchor for the engineering team that supports a product. You create, own and are responsible for the application architecture that best serves the product in its functional and non-functional needs. You identify and drive architectural changes to accelerate feature development or improve the quality of service (or both). You have deep and broad engineering skills and are capable of standing up an architecture in its whole on your own, but you choose to influence a wider team by acting as a "force multiplier". Core responsibilities of this job are described within this job description. Job duties may change at any time due to business needs.

LEAD ENGINEER - KAFKA STREAMING PLATFORM

: -

Here's a smattering of approaches important to us and the technologies we use:

Everything we do is "as-code" in version control. We don't like clicking buttons or doing things manually. All development or infra config changes go through a pull-request process,so you'll always have a say to thumbs up or down things you catch. Everything should have test cases and they go through a continuous integration process. We understand the importance of logs and metrics, so having visibility to things you need to see to do your job isn't an issue. And if you need to add more metrics or see more logs, it's within our control to improve that. We try to own as much of the platform as we reasonably can. You don't need to rely on other teams outside our own to improve the stack or change the way we do things.
