Inventory estimates drive some of the most important products at instacart from search to logistics. Our team is responsible for the end-to-end data supply chain including ingestion and integration of data sources from partners to collecting inventory observations to model development, serving, and integrations across our products.

_About The Job

  • Design, build, and maintain high-quality backend applications.
  • Contribute to the development of our roadmap, prioritizing scalability, reliability, and our customers.
  • Own and lead major components of our product, ensuring they meet both internal standards and external expectations.
  • Collaborate across teams to foster a unified approach to product development, facilitating consensus and driving effective outcomes.
  • Responsible for the strategic planning and execution of projects you oversee, from inception to deployment and maintenance.

About You

_Minimum Qualifications

_

  • 5+ years of backend development experience, with a strong record of project delivery.
  • Proficiency in backend languages, such as Ruby or Go.
  • A solid foundation in unit testing, systems observability, and problem-solving.
  • Exceptional communication skills and the ability to lead and collaborate with a diverse set of functions across teams (MLEs, PMs, Product Engineers, etc.).
  • Holds a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Demonstrates strong teamwork skills and is capable of clearly communicating ideas and fostering alignment across different departments.
