About the RoleCSC engineers build the
Retail Service Cloud - a shared platform of APIs, SDKs, and microservices that powers operations across Backcountry, Sur La Table, One Kings Lane, Competitive Cyclist, MotoSport, and other portfolio brands.
The stack is TypeScript-first, AWS serverless, React frontend. Engineers own services end-to-end: design, build, ship, monitor.
What makes CSC engineering distinct: we treat AI as a first-class production concern, not a side project. Engineers here build systems where LLMs classify, generate, and decide at scale - with cost functions, confidence routing, and graduated autonomy. If you've never built production AI systems, that's fine - but you should be excited to learn.

- Explore and integrate AI tools to streamline development and improve user engagement.
- Deliver new features and optimize existing experiences at speed and scale within an agile workflow.
- Participate in code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and mentor junior engineers.
- Write and maintain unit tests and automated test suites to ensure code quality and reliability.
- Partner closely with product, design, and back-end engineering to ship cohesive end-to-end features.
