Company Summary :

Zoro is an eCommerce company that's on a mission to help business owners get everything they need to run their businesses and thrive-from office supplies to power tools. But we're way more than a website. We're a team of great people with an award-winning culture. Check us out and see for yourself!

Job Summary :

Zoro engineering is embarking on an exciting journey to build core engineering competencies that will enable us to make 100s of targeted releases daily, delighting our customers and giving them the best experience possible. Our engineering team is composed of a talented group of front-end, back-end, and full stack engineers. We're looking for a Software Engineer II to join our team of gifted developers and begin your journey of unleashing your true potential.

Constant improvements to zoro.com are delivered by our product teams. You will be on a high performing agile team with approximately 4-6 software engineers as well as a dedicated tech lead, product owner, and architect. Ideally we are looking for engineers who are well rounded in building scalable applications but that doesn't mean we won't provide an environment that'll help you grow.

Your objective will be to build and support robust tools and applications that support our business. To be successful in this role you must be the kind of software engineer who can produce fast, space and memory efficient code. We have endless data being shipped around between applications, and we cannot afford to fall behind.

We don't care if you taught yourself, attended a boot camp, or have a Computer Science degree; we care that you know your stuff. This means you have superb software engineering fundamentals, produce thoughtfully designed code that is reliable and maintainable. All of that is meaningless without thorough testing, of course. We're looking for engineers that are enthusiastic about learning new technologies and skills that will continue to make a difference as Zoro takes the next step forward.
