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
