Software Engineer I

As a Software Engineer I on Chewy’s Enterprise Financial Technology team, you will help build the cloud-native systems that move money through the business - the services, integrations, and data pipelines that connect our commerce, warehouse, procurement, and marketplace platforms to Oracle ERP. Every order placed by a pet parent eventually becomes an invoice, a payment, a tax calculation, and a journal entry, and this team owns that path.

You will work on production systems alongside senior engineers who will review your designs and code, starting with well-defined features and growing into larger components as your understanding develops. Accuracy matters here, and you will learn to test thoroughly and verify your own work as a matter of habit. No prior finance or ERP background is expected - we will teach you the domain.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, test, and maintain cloud-native applications and services supporting Chewy’s enterprise financial systems.
• Build APIs, event-driven integrations, and batch data pipelines connecting commerce, warehouse, procurement, marketplace, and ERP platforms.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and finance and accounting stakeholders to deliver scalable and reliable software solutions.
• Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate software design, implementation, testing, documentation, and debugging while applying sound engineering judgment and code quality standards.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code following established software engineering and secure development practices.
• Write SQL to investigate defects, validate the results of your work, and support financial reconciliation activities.
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, sprint planning, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support the services you contribute to in production, and learn monitoring, troubleshooting, and operational excellence practices.
• Learn modern software architecture patterns, cloud technologies, and the financial processes these systems support while contributing to production software.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
• 1-2 years of experience developing software using Java.
• Experience building applications on AWS or another major cloud platform.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.
• Experience with SQL and relational databases.
• Familiarity with Git and modern software development workflows.
• Curiosity about AI-assisted software development and an eagerness to incorporate AI tools responsibly throughout the software development lifecycle (requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation).
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Attention to detail and a willingness to verify your own work in an environment where errors carry material business impact.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, customer-focused engineering environment.

Bonus

• Experience with Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices, or event-driven architectures.
• Exposure to AWS services such as Lambda, Step Functions, ECS, EKS, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, DynamoDB, RDS, or API Gateway.
• Exposure to Kotlin, Python, or another additional programming language.
• Familiarity with software engineering best practices, including code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing (JUnit, Mockito, or similar), observability, and DevOps.
• Experience using AI coding assistants (such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar tools) to improve engineering productivity while maintaining high code quality.
• Exposure to front-end development using React.js and TypeScript.
• Experience working in Agile development environments (Scrum or Kanban).
• Knowledge of distributed systems, enterprise integrations, or financial, ERP, payments, or marketplace technologies is a plus.

The base salary range for this role is $97,500 - $160,000.00.
