About The Position

Working at Target means helping all families discover the joy of everyday life. We bring that vision to life through our values and culture. As a Senior Engineer, you serve as a specialist in the engineering team that supports the product. You help develop and gain insight in the application architecture. You can distill an abstract architecture into concrete design and influence the implementation. You show expertise in applying the appropriate software engineering patterns to build robust and scalable systems. You are an expert in programming and apply your skills in developing the product. You have the skills to design and implement the architecture on your own, but choose to influence your fellow engineers by proposing software designs, providing feedback on software designs and/or implementation. You show good problem solving skills and can help the team in triaging operational issues. You leverage your expertise in eliminating repeat occurrences. We also embrace AI-assisted development and Generative AI tools to enhance productivity, creativity, and developer experience across our engineering teams. You’ll have opportunities to experiment, innovate, and influence how Target engineers build the next generation of retail technology. This role is on the iOS Platform team within Flagship Mobile Apps at Target, which works on the guest-facing Target Android and iOS shopping app. As a team, we enjoy tackling big problems in a large and complex iOS codebase. We are continually assessing new iOS technologies and building on our vision for keeping Target’s iOS app stable, fast, and a joy for others to code in. We love building things for other engineers, and we get joy in knowing other iOS engineers can do their job more effectively due to our contributions.
