Full Stack Software Developer Jobs in Seattle, WA

## Senior Full Stack Software EngineerApplylocations: Seattle, WAtime type: Full timeposted on: Posted Todayjob requisition id: R-852754## **Job Description**At Nordstrom, product data is the backbone of the customer experience — from the moment a product is listed to the moment it ships. The PIM Egress team owns **Product Core Service (PCS)**, the authoritative API and Kafka interface that delivers product data to every corner of the business. PCS is mission-critical infrastructure. It serves **100+ downstream teams** — spanning Checkout, Warehouse Management, Data Analytics, and beyond — at **600 requests per second** with a **50ms latency target** and the reliability those teams depend on to run the business.As a Senior Full Stack Engineer on this team, you'll work at the intersection of scale, reliability, and data integrity — designing and evolving the systems that ensure every team at Nordstrom gets accurate, timely product data when they need it.This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of large-scale data architecture and customer-facing impact. Every product page a customer sees, every filter they apply, and every category they navigate depends on the systems you will build and evolve.**This role is offered as hybrid in Seattle, WA. Candidates must be available to work in office at the Nordstrom corporate headquarters a minimum of 4 days/week to be considered for this position.****A day in the life...**As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, you will design, build, and operate services and user interfaces that are central to Nordstrom's product data ecosystem. You will work across the entire stack — from React-based internal tools used by merchants and data stewards to Java microservices that process millions of catalog and hierarchy records daily. While this role is Full Stack it's mostly Backend Engineering (80%). Our UI surfaces are internal tools built for the people who manage Nordstrom's Product Data — think operational dashboards, workflow monitors, and admin interfaces that give teams real-time visibility into how millions of items move through our systems. If you prefer building tools for internal business users that you can have face-to-face conversations with, this role is for you!* **Build and evolve core platform services.** You'll own microservices that power catalog management, hierarchical classification, and organizational master data. These services integrate with upstream ingestion pipelines (including Kafka-based event streaming and Temporal workflow orchestration) and serve downstream consumers across the company.* **Design delightful internal tools.** Merchants, buyers, and data stewards rely on the UIs your team builds to manage catalogs, assign hierarchy nodes, and govern organizational entities. You'll create React-based applications that make complex data operations intuitive and efficient.* **Drive data quality at scale.** You'll build validation, canonicalization, and entity resolution capabilities that ensure data consistency across Nordstrom's product ecosystem — spanning wholesale, marketplace, and direct-to-consumer channels.* **Own what you ship.** You'll participate in on-call rotations, build observability into every service (New Relic, structured logging, custom dashboards), and drive operational excellence through runbooks, alerting, and incident response.* **Influence technical direction.** You'll contribute to architecture decisions, participate in design reviews, and mentor engineers on the team. Your designs will consider upstream and downstream integration points and balance short-term delivery with long-term platform health.**Technology stack...**## * ## **Backend:** Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Kafka (event streaming and CDC), Temporal.io (workflow orchestration), PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis* ## **Frontend:** React, TypeScript, Next.js* ## **Infrastructure & Cloud:** AWS (ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, MSK), Terraform, GitHub* ## **Data & Integration:** Kafka topics (Avro schemas), REST and gRPC service-to-service communication, batch and real-time data pipelines* ## **Observability:** New Relic (APM, dashboards, alerting), structured logging, distributed tracing**You own this if you have...*** **7+ years of professional software engineering experience**, including significant delivery of both backend services and frontend applications.* **Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems Engineering, Data Engineering.*** **Communication Skills.** Strong verbal, written and diagramming communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.* **Programming Skills.** Proficient in more than one Programming Language. Experience with agentic development and perspective on how to get the most from agents during the Software Development Lifecycle.* **Strong backend fundamentals.** You're comfortable designing and building microservices in Java or Kotlin, working with relational databases (PostgreSQL), and integrating with event-driven architectures (Kafka). Experience with workflow orchestration tools like Temporal is a strong plus.* **Modern frontend skills.** You've built production React applications with TypeScript. You care about usability, accessibility, and creating tools that people enjoy.* **Infrastructure fluency.** You're comfortable working with containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), defining infrastructure as code with Terraform, and configuring CI/CD pipelines. You don't need to be a platform engineer, but you can provision what your services need and troubleshoot deployment issues without waiting on someone else.* **Distributed systems thinking.** You understand the tradeoffs of eventual consistency, can reason about failure modes in a service-oriented architecture, and have data driven perspectives on topics like idempotency, schema evolution, and data partitioning.* **Ownership mentality.** You do more than write code — you own outcomes. You think about observability from the start, you write runbooks, and you show up when your systems need you.* **Collaborative and communicative.** You thrive in cross-functional environments. You can explain a technical tradeoff to a product manager, pair with a junior engineer on a complex problem, and contribute to architectural discussions with clarity and conviction.* **Bias toward simplification.** You actively seek ways to reduce complexity, remove bottlenecks, and make systems easier to operate and evolve.**Nice to have...*** Familiarity with product information management or retail/e-commerce domains* Background in entity resolution, canonicalization, or data quality systems* Experience with Temporal.io or similar durable execution frameworks* Contributions to engineering standards, shared libraries, or developer experience tooling**Why this team...**The Catalogs, Hierarchy & Org MDM team is in an exciting phase. Nordstrom's Marketplace Highway program is expanding the product ecosystem to include third-party marketplace sellers alongside the traditional wholesale business, and our team's systems are foundational to that growth. You'll be joining a team that is actively modernizing its platform, tackling hard data problems at scale, and shipping work that has direct, measurable impact on how customers discover and shop for products.You'll work alongside engineers who are deeply technical, genuinely collaborative, and committed to building things the right way.
