Job Description

Our Team

Looking for an opportunity to actually use the knowledge and problem solving skills you spent years acquiring? Take a look at Catalina. We are seeking candidates to join the Catalina Media Platform (CMP) team, the core media delivery system at Catalina. Recently reimagined, CMP connects virtually every department in the company together and delivers media to Retail Stores around the world.

We are seeking an experienced Software Engineer II that will actually spend the majority of their time designing and writing software! Have experience with agile methodologies but frustrated that they aren’t really followed? Take a second look at Catalina. We are in the middle of an agile transformation that is changing not only how we engineer software, but also the culture that we do it in. Self-managing teams, open workspaces, collaboration – you’ll get it all in this fast-paced environment where technology is not an afterthought, but has been a key part of our strategic direction for 30+ year and we are just getting started. All that is missing is you!

If you really want your skills as a software engineer to be challenged, you’ll want to work on products that touch real consumers in the real world. You’ll get that on Catalina’s Platform Engineering team, where you’ll be working on distributed, highly available cloud applications that interact with millions of consumers every day around the world to deliver personalized marketing content.
