About this Team:

Target gift cards are a wildly popular product and are one of the top 5 gift cards purchased in the US. The Gift Card Services team is the technology owner for this area of our business. Our team is an integral part of the average sales transactions that happen both in-store or online. Because of this, our technology needs to be both highly performant and reliable.

We use agile practices and leverage open-source software to adapt and build amazing technology for our team members and guests—and we do so with a focus on diversity and inclusion, experimentation, and continuous learning.

The ideal candidate for this position will have the desire to become a contributing member of the team as quickly as possible and will have the curiosity and drive to make that happen. Having a solid understanding of how the technologies listed above is important but we're on the hunt for great engineers and that may mean that your experience doesn't perfectly align with our stack. That is ok. Continuous learning and inclusion is what we're built on and if you're passionate about technology and delivering high quality code, you may be just who we're looking for.
