Throughout this customer journey, we are responsible for maintaining an accurate representation of our dynamic supply chain, determining how different products will fit into boxes, predicting how these boxes will flow through warehouses and trucks, and ultimately surfacing the information our customers need to inform their decision and the details our suppliers and carriers require to successfully execute on the promises made to our customers. We do all of this in milliseconds, thousands of times per second.

8. Tenacity for learning - curious, and constantly pushing the boundary of what is possible.

What you bring to the table:

1.  Responsible for designing and being hands-on in building web-based, event driven, cloud enabled applications that are reliable, scalable and easy to maintain;
2. Ensure the quality of engineering direction across multiple teams 
3. Contribute to architectural and code review discussions that impact our engineering ecosystem
4. Define standards to raise the bar of the teams you'll be working with.
5. Mentor less experienced software engineers
6. Collaborate with leads and engineers across multiple teams to solve a wide variety of business and technical problems.
7. Contribute to the growth and development of the Wayfair engineering scene within Bengaluru and beyond.
