Senior Engineer, Interactive Voice Response - AI/ML

Nordstrom

<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Job Description</h2>
At Nordstrom, product data is the backbone of the customer experience &mdash; from the moment a product is listed to the moment it ships. The PIM Egress team owns Product Core Service (PCS), the authoritative API and Kafka interface that delivers product data to every corner of the business. PCS is mission-critical infrastructure. It serves 100+ downstream teams &mdash; spanning Checkout, Warehouse Management, Data Analytics, and beyond &mdash; at 600 requests per second with a 50ms latency target and the reliability those teams depend on to run the business. 
As a Senior Full Stack Engineer on this team, you'll work at the intersection of scale, reliability, and data integrity &mdash; designing and evolving the systems that ensure every team at Nordstrom gets accurate, timely product data when they need it.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of large-scale data architecture and customer-facing impact. Every product page a customer sees, every filter they apply, and every category they navigate depends on the systems you will build and evolve.
This role is offered as hybrid in Seattle, WA. Candidates must be available to work in office at the Nordstrom corporate headquarters a minimum of 4 days/week to be considered for this position.
A day in the life...
As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, you will design, build, and operate services and user interfaces that are central to Nordstrom's product data ecosystem. You will work across the entire stack &mdash; from React-based internal tools used by merchants and data stewards to Java microservices that process millions of catalog and hierarchy records daily. While this role is Full Stack it's mostly Backend Engineering (80%). Our UI surfaces are internal tools built for the people who manage Nordstrom's Product Data &mdash; think operational dashboards, workflow monitors, and admin interfaces that give teams real-time visibility into how millions of items move through our systems. If you prefer building tools for internal business users that you can have face-to-face conversations with, this role is for you!<ul><li>
Build and evolve core platform services. You'll own microservices that power catalog management, hierarchical classification, and organizational master data. These services integrate with upstream ingestion pipelines (including Kafka-based event streaming and Temporal workflow orchestration) and serve downstream consumers across the company.</li><li>
Design delightful internal tools. Merchants, buyers, and data stewards rely on the UIs your team builds to manage catalogs, assign hierarchy nodes, and govern organizational entities. You'll create React-based applications that make complex data operations intuitive and efficient.</li><li>
Drive data quality at scale. You'll build validation, canonicalization, and entity resolution capabilities that ensure data consistency across Nordstrom's product ecosystem &mdash; spanning wholesale, marketplace, and direct-to-consumer channels.</li><li>
Own what you ship. You'll participate in on-call rotations, build observability into every service (New Relic, structured logging, custom dashboards), and drive operational excellence through runbooks, alerting, and incident response.</li><li>
Influence technical direction. You'll contribute to architecture decisions, participate in design reviews, and mentor engineers on the team. Your designs will consider upstream and downstream integration points and balance short-term delivery with long-term platform health.</li></ul>
Technology stack...<ul><li><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Backend: Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Kafka (event streaming and CDC), Temporal.io (workflow orchestration), PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis</h2></li><li><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Frontend: React, TypeScript, Next.js</h2></li><li><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Infrastructure &amp; Cloud: AWS (ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, MSK), Terraform, GitHub</h2></li><li><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Data &amp; Integration: Kafka topics (Avro schemas), REST and gRPC service-to-service communication, batch and real-time data pipelines</h2></li><li><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Observability: New Relic (APM, dashboards, alerting), structured logging, distributed tracing</h2></li></ul>
You own this if you have...<ul><li>
7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant delivery of both backend services and frontend applications.</li><li>
Bachelor&rsquo;s or Master&rsquo;s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems Engineering, Data Engineering.</li><li>
Communication Skills. Strong verbal, written and diagramming communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.</li><li>
Programming Skills. Proficient in more than one Programming Language. Experience with agentic development and perspective on how to get the most from agents during the Software Development Lifecycle.</li><li>
Strong backend fundamentals. You're comfortable designing and building microservices in Java or Kotlin, working with relational databases (PostgreSQL), and integrating with event-driven architectures (Kafka). Experience with workflow orchestration tools like Temporal is a strong plus.</li><li>
Modern frontend skills. You've built production React applications with TypeScript. You care about usability, accessibility, and creating tools that people enjoy.</li><li>
Infrastructure fluency. You're comfortable working with containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), defining infrastructure as code with Terraform, and configuring CI/CD pipelines. You don't need to be a platform engineer, but you can provision what your services need and troubleshoot deployment issues without waiting on someone else.</li><li>
Distributed systems thinking. You understand the tradeoffs of eventual consistency, can reason about failure modes in a service-oriented architecture, and have data driven perspectives on topics like idempotency, schema evolution, and data partitioning.</li><li>
Ownership mentality. You do more than write code &mdash; you own outcomes. You think about observability from the start, you write runbooks, and you show up when your systems need you.</li><li>
Collaborative and communicative. You thrive in cross-functional environments. You can explain a technical tradeoff to a product manager, pair with a junior engineer on a complex problem, and contribute to architectural discussions with clarity and conviction.</li><li>
Bias toward simplification. You actively seek ways to reduce complexity, remove bottlenecks, and make systems easier to operate and evolve.</li></ul><div></div>
Nice to have...<div><ul><li>
Familiarity with product information management or retail/e-commerce domains</li><li>
Background in entity resolution, canonicalization, or data quality systems</li><li>
Experience with Temporal.io or similar durable execution frameworks</li><li>
Contributions to engineering standards, shared libraries, or developer experience tooling</li></ul>
Why this team...
The Catalogs, Hierarchy &amp; Org MDM team is in an exciting phase. Nordstrom's Marketplace Highway program is expanding the product ecosystem to include third-party marketplace sellers alongside the traditional wholesale business, and our team's systems are foundational to that growth. You'll be joining a team that is actively modernizing its platform, tackling hard data problems at scale, and shipping work that has direct, measurable impact on how customers discover and shop for products.
You'll work alongside engineers who are deeply technical, genuinely collaborative, and committed to building things the right way. We invest in our people &mdash; through mentorship, stretch assignments, design review culture, and an environment where your ideas shape the direction of the platform.</div>

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Second Order Effects

<div>Company Overview:

Second Order Effects started in 2016 as a services firm, taking on other companies' hardest engineering problems from first principles. We grew into a solutions firm that designs and ships complete custom electronics and systems, including power electronics, RF, and control systems. We've completed over 250 projects for more than 100 clients. Our designs control rocket engines, manage satellite communications, instrument fusion reactors, and are enjoyed by consumers around the world.

We approach problems from first principles. We break challenges down to their most fundamental components, which is how we find solutions that hold up across industries, use cases, and engineering functions. We focus on solving the right problems and building the teams to take them on. Because we believe that training and empowering others yields a greater impact than focusing on developing any specific technology, we expect every single member of our team to participate in building up those around them.

In the past year, we've started taking our own concepts and spinning them out into separate companies that we believe will meet the emerging needs of our clients and the industry at large. The work is concentrating in frontier technology, including space, fusion and fission energy, and advanced vehicles. We currently have two spinout companies in stealth that we're working on.

Software Engineer III, GCS Resource Engineering

Stealth AI startup

<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">The Opportunity</h2>
We are a seed-stage AI startup, currently in stealth, backed by top-tier VCs. We are hiring for a founding engineer for the role of a Product Architect (Sr PE/PE level). This is a rare kind of role. You will own major parts of the platform from early stages, and play a part in building out the company itself: how we build, how we work together, and what we value as an organization. We are building a high-trust, high-standards team of exceptional builders who want to move fast, go deep, own outcomes, invent better ways to create unmistakable customer value and ultimately drive business and personal success.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What We're Building</h2>
Our north star is to help companies of all sizes build, deploy and manage AI applications in a seamless, efficient and cost-effective way. We believe that more and more enterprises and AI startups will build their own application-specific AI models in order to own major portions of their application stack, build on their IP position and optimize for performance and costs. For these companies, models, weights, and data are becoming the strategic moat. But moving from experimentation to production remains slow and messy: fragmented tooling, mounting infrastructure complexity, and significant engineering time lost to security, access, and compliance work instead of innovation.
Our core value proposition is simple. We help product and engineering teams move faster with building and integrating AI models into their applications, with high confidence and trust. The platform is designed to be deployed in a customer&rsquo;s existing environments, ranging from public clouds, on-prem, and hybrid environments. We will share the full picture, including our product, early traction, and roadmap, in our first conversation.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Why This Role Is Different</h2>
You are building the thing, not inheriting it. As a founding engineer, you will make the architectural decisions everything else gets built on: the core platform, the technology stack, and the engineering culture. There is no legacy codebase and no committee.
The equity is real. The pace of progress in AI has created a once-in-a-lifetime window, and where you spend the next few years matters more than it ever has. You can spend them at a big tech where you are a line item in a headcount plan, doing your best work under the constant pressure of the next layoff cycle while someone else captures the upside. Or you can spend them as a founding engineer with meaningful equity in what you build.
You will work directly with a founder who has done this at scale. Our CEO has nearly two decades of experience building and scaling AI infrastructure businesses. He scaled a business from about $100M into a multi-billion-dollar segment at a leading cloud provider, and served as Chief Product Officer of a company he helped take public, now valued at over $50B. He leads by example, stays hands-on, and invests heavily in developing people and helping them do the best work of their careers.
The timing is now. Enterprise AI is crossing from experimentation into production right now, and the infrastructure layer underneath it is being decided. The companies that define that layer will be built in the next few years, by small teams that move fast.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You'll Do</h2>
This is a hands-on building role. You will report to the CEO and collaborate closely with our founding Product Architect on the product platform. We expect roughly 80% of your time on product development, with the rest split between product research and direct customer support.<ul><li>
Design, build, test, and operate production-grade features and services.</li><li>
Build and run systems that deploy across public cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.</li><li>
Contribute to architecture and technical decisions, partnering with the Product Architects on the bets that shape the platform.</li><li>
Take part in product research: prototyping new approaches and evaluating emerging tools and techniques.</li><li>
Work directly with early customers to turn real-world requirements into working capabilities and to support them in production.</li><li>
Use AI-driven development workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) as a daily multiplier on velocity and quality.</li><li>
Help set the bar for engineering quality and craft as the team grows.</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
What We're Looking For</h3>
We are hiring across Senior (L5 equivalent) and Staff (L6 equivalent) levels. The work is the same. The difference is depth of experience and the scope of the systems you have built and owned.<ul><li>
5+ years of hands-on engineering experience building and shipping production software, with a track record of maintaining it in production.</li><li>
Experience building distributed systems, backend services, or infrastructure platforms with an eye for reliability and performance.</li><li>
Working knowledge of cloud-native technologies: Kubernetes, containerized workloads, service-oriented architectures, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar) across AWS, Azure, or GCP.</li><li>
Strong systems fundamentals: API design, backend architecture, performance, and reliability.</li><li>
Strong programming proficiency in Rust or C++, with experience writing performant production grade code.</li><li>
High ownership and bias for action in 0-to-1 environments. You are comfortable making pragmatic trade-offs, operating with incomplete information, and driving work from idea through launch.</li><li>
Excellent communication. You can work directly with customers, discuss trade-offs on the merits, and collaborate closely with a small team.</li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader">
Strong Pluses</h3><ul><li>
Experience building customer-facing, large-scale distributed systems and applications: production software that real users and enterprises depend on.</li><li>
Experience building and deploying solutions across multi-cloud and on-prem environments.</li><li>
Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, including training, inference, or the platforms and pipelines around them.</li><li>
Familiarity with security domains such as identity, access control, key management, or trusted computing.</li><li>
Prior startup or early-stage experience, or a big-company background and strong conviction that it is time for something different.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What We Offer</h2><ul><li>
Founding-team equity with meaningful upside.</li><li>
Competitive cash compensation, calibrated for seed stage.</li><li>
A direct hand in defining the product, the architecture, and the culture.</li><li>
Opportunity to be part of a fast-paced environment that values distinctive expertise, emphasizes ownership along with high standards, and fosters open-minded collaboration with exceptional builders.</li><li>
A founder committed to your growth, and a front-row seat to building a company.</li></ul></div>
