## Description

This engineering role sits at the intersection of software development and the core of P&G's award winning North American supply chain. Embedded within the warehouse innovation team, you will work directly with stakeholders to deeply understand operational problems, design algorithms and systems from the ground up, and build full-stack applications that ship to production. Every product shipped in North America will pass through one of your systems. Daily work could encompass any of the following:

 * Designing and implementing software solutions from scratch, including volume forecasting, yard truck routing, Labor Management Systems (LMS), internal orchestration, and physical machinery integration.
 * Partnering with warehouse operations stakeholders to translate real-world process challenges into well-scoped engineering problems.
 * Building backend services in Python and frontend interfaces in React or Vue, deployed on a Kubernetes-based platform.
 * Collaborating with the platform engineering team to architect, deploy, and scale solutions across all warehouse sites in North America.
 * Leveraging AI tools and techniques in your development workflow and as integrated components of the solutions you build.
 * Contributing to P&G's internal Warehouse Execution System (WES), a 0-to-1 initiative with high visibility and long-term impact.

This role reports to a Senior Software Engineer on a 4-person Forward Deployed Engineering team, backed by a 10-person platform team. You will receive hands-on mentorship while owning meaningful work from day one.

What You'll Do

 * 70% Development: write production-quality Python backend algorithms and services and React/Vue frontend applications; design data models, APIs, integrations, and algorithms suited to complex warehouse workflows.
 * 30% Consultation: engage directly with warehouse site teams and the platform engineering organization to define requirements, validate solutions, and ensure delivery fits operational realities.
