Wayfair

Sr. Software Engineer - Python, Docker

Help us make Python development at Wayfair a fun and productive experience. The Python Platform Engineering Team pairs with internal Python teams to help them achieve their engineering goals.

Members of this team influence the direction of Python at Wayfair through two concurrent paths:

  • First, you will be working side-by-side with dev teams.  You will provide short-term tactical support to strategic projects and in doing so, raise the capabilities of our Python developers one team at a time.
  • Second, you will dedicate some time to improving the Python platform across all of Wayfair.  This independent, self-directed work can be tailored to your unique interests.
