Software Development Engineer III (Planning and Forecasting)

Quince is a tech company disrupting the retail industry by leveraging AI, analytics, and automation. They are seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer III to lead the development of their supply chain planning platform, collaborating with various teams to build reliable systems and mentor junior engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Own a meaningful piece of the planning platform (e.g., feature pipelines, model serving, the experimentation framework, the operator console, or a critical integration) from design through production
• Make sound technical tradeoffs within your area without escalating every call; collaborate with leadership as needed
• Drive the engineering quality bar within your workstream: testing, observability, performance, and operability
• Use AI coding tools fluently in your day-to-day work and help raise the bar across the team for how we build with them
• Identify AI-augmented capabilities to ship into the platform itself: LLM-aided observability and root-cause analysis, natural-language operator interfaces over planning data, agentic workflows for routine planning tasks
• Hold the team’s standards on AI-generated code: review rigorously, refactor when needed, and treat AI assistance as leverage, not a free pass
• Mentor juniors on design, code review, and operational ownership; raise the average level of the engineers around you
• Drive design reviews for your area; bring rigor to architectural decisions and a willingness to hear pushback
• Partner directly with data scientists on what the platform should expose for them, and with the planning team’s operators on what they need to do their job better
• Translate fuzzy operational problems into well-shaped engineering work, without waiting for a PM to translate
