About The Position

As an Engineer on Target’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) Team within Cybersecurity, you serve as a technical specialist delivering engineering that enables secure access for the right individual for the appropriate period of time, with visibility across the organization. You develop understanding of technical architecture and design and deliver robust, scalable software components. You solve engineering problems, balance feature delivery speed with software quality and robustness, handle operational issues with little or no oversight, and review code to maintain software quality and functional accuracy. You learn product design and architecture and participate in ceremonies that can influence them.

You provide input on evaluating technologies and contribute to service design, lifecycle management, and total cost of ownership. You contribute to research and proof-of-concept initiatives, code and design reviews, and writing, organizing, and maintaining code based on designs. With guidance, you deliver high-performance, scalable, repeatable, and secure work. You participate in construction, automation, debugging, implementation, disaster recovery, functional integration and regression testing, and test-script automation. You resolve frequently encountered technical issues, monitor system capacity with minimal assistance, understand metadata about data sources and metrics, and follow change and incident management standards. Duties may change based on business needs.

This role uses a Hybrid/Flex for Your Day work arrangement, with work performed both onsite at Target HQ in Minnesota and virtually as required by the role, team, and tasks. Work duties may not be performed outside the country of the primary work location unless otherwise prescribed by Target.
