Software Engineer III

Our Opportunity

Chewy’s Inventory Technology group builds the platforms that make real-time inventory visibility, placement, and movement possible across our entire supply‑chain network. As an Engineer III you’ll build and operate high-scale, event‑driven services that keep millions of items in the right place at the right time. You will pair deep technical ownership with leadership in Chewy’s Operating Principles— Debate Openly & Commit Fully, Operate at Depth,  and  Accelerate Time —while mentoring engineers and shaping our engineering culture.

What You’ll Do

• Build and develop distributed systems using Java 8+, Spring Boot, and AWS components like Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, S3, and API Gateway.
• Own features end‑to‑end : from RFC and architecture review through coding, deployment, and post‑launch measurement.
• Lead on‑call rotations; drive root‑cause analysis, observability improvements, and operational excellence.
• Coach and improve engineers through design sessions, code reviews, and learning opportunities.
• Influence product direction by translating ambiguous business problems into resilient, scalable solutions.
• Advocate for standard methodologies in testing, secure coding, CI / CD, infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform / CloudFormation), and performance tuning.
• Collaborate multi-functionally with product, data science, fulfillment ops, and partner engineering teams to align roadmaps with business outcomes.
