lululemon is an innovative performance apparel company for yoga, running, training, and other athletic pursuits. Setting the bar in technical fabrics and functional design, we create transformational products and experiences that support people in moving, growing, connecting, and being well. We owe our success to our innovative product, emphasis on stores, commitment to our people, and the incredible connections we make in every community we're in. As a company, we focus on creating positive change to build a healthier, thriving future. In particular, that includes creating an equitable, inclusive and growth-focused environment for our people. The APIM Platform team is part of the Cloud Data & Integration platform team, a world-class delivery group that builds and maintains the underpinnings of lululemon's technology environment. The APIM platform team defines the management and operation of Kong, AWS Gateways, offering governance and guidance for teams to navigate API integration within Kong. We empower API developers across various domains to accelerate API development, discover and reuse code, and share best practices.

You will be counted on as a leader in your technology space as you contribute to all areas of development and operations (pre-production to production). You will work closely with a Technology Manager, using your experience and knowledge to guide a team of Engineers through their day-to-day process and provide a central escalation point for production concerns. You will be part of an Agile production release team and may perform on-call support functions as needed. As a Senior Engineer, you would be the primary caretaker of production platforms and maintain a deep understanding of how delivered products function.
