Job Description

Nordstrom Technology is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Pricing organization, a team focused on modernizing how Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack manage pricing decisions. This is a high-impact role that offers the opportunity to shape core pricing capabilities—specifically promotions and clearance pricing—through automation and intelligent rule-based systems.

You’ll be part of a fast-paced, collaborative team working on some of the most critical business processes at Nordstrom. Your work will directly influence how customers experience pricing and value, giving you both strategic impact and technical challenges.

You’ll primarily focus on back-end development for our cloud-native services deployed on AWS, while influencing architectural decisions, mentoring peers, and driving engineering excellence across the team.

What You’ll Do:

+ Design and implement scalable, reliable, and maintainable backend services, primarily supporting promotions and clearance pricing.

+ Lead feature design and provide actionable feedback on technical designs and implementations.

+ Drive architectural decisions that align with business needs and long-term platform scalability.

+ Ensure high standards of quality through robust code, unit testing, integration testing, and documentation.

+ Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, Engineering managers, and engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions.

+ Translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions with clear technical communication.

+ Support production deployments, monitor system health, and troubleshoot issues (includes participation in on-call rotation).

+ Promote a DevOps culture by managing infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring solutions.

What We’re Looking For:

+ Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

+ 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.

+ Strong proficiency in Java and frameworks such as Spring/Spring Boot. Python is a plus

+ Solid understanding of system design, architecture principles, and performance optimization.

+ Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and working within microservices architectures.

+ Strong working knowledge of AWS services.

+ Experience with SQL (e.g., Amazon RDS) and exposure to NoSQL databases like Neo4j.

+ Familiarity with Kafka or other event streaming platforms.

+ Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools such as New Relic or Splunk.

+ Proficiency with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.

+ Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey technical ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences.

+ A growth mindset and a desire to mentor junior engineers and contribute to team success.

Nice to Have:

+ Prior experience with pricing systems, retail promotions, or clearance workflows.

+ Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

+ Knowledge of performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter).

This is a hybrid position, with the expectation that team members will collaborate in person at our Seattle corporate office Monday to Wednesday each week.
