The Application Platform team is responsible for developing internal tools, applications, and libraries used to support projects across Stitch Fix technology. We are looking for a Fullstack Software Engineer who will work within a distributed team of 3-4 software engineers and cross-functional partners across the tech organization.

Writing developer documentation is important in this role. This is a remote position available within the United States. We operate in an agile-inspired manner, collaborating across multiple time zones. We build modern software with techniques like TDD, continuous delivery, DevOps, and service-oriented architecture. You will have the opportunity to develop your non-technical skills by presenting your work to the team and partners, leading projects on your team, and influencing the roadmap of your team. You’ll participate in an on-call rotation for code that your team owns.

• Work collaboratively on a distributed team—we are a remote-first team and use GitHub, Slack, and video conferencing extensively to collaborate
• Help design, develop, and continue to grow the foundations of how the technology ecosystem works at Stitch Fix
• Have an impact on development spanning the entire organization; our clients are other developers and the tools we build are used in almost all of Stitch Fix applications by almost all Stitch Fix developers
• Collaborate with stakeholders while leading the technical discovery, decision-making, and execution of projects within the team

• Are excited about solving challenging system design problems and have excellent analytical skills
• Enjoy building reusable code that balances convention and configuration
