For over 100 years, Boscov's has been known for its great values and famous brands, and for offering a broad selection of quality merchandise in its stores and online.

We're looking for a backend engineer with a few years of experience who's ready to grow. This role will maintain and improve the systems that power a 100+ year old retail company — writing clean code, learning from senior engineers, and shipping features that matter.

  • Implement features across our applications
  • Collaborate with the team to uphold engineering standards, including testing, code reviews, and clean architecture
  • Learn from senior engineers and team members
  • Contribute to frontend work as needed (this is not a full-stack role, though comfort with HTML/CSS/JS is expected)
  • Actively seek feedback and pursue continuous professional development

Qualifications

  • Approximately 3 years of software development experience
  • C# / .NET expertise as a primary development platform
  • SQL basics, including writing queries, understanding joins, and troubleshooting data issues
  • Demonstrated desire for feedback and a commitment to continuous improvement
  • Intellectual curiosity and a propensity to question and understand underlying systems

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with REST API design
  • Familiarity with testing (unit tests, integration tests)
  • Exposure to CI/CD
  • Any experience with retail or enterprise systems

Benefits

At Boscov's, we value our employees, and that's why we provide a competitive compensation and benefits package. As a Full-Time member of our team, you will be eligible to receive:

  • Comprehensive benefits package, including medical/dental/vision
  • Short term disability/ Long term disability- voluntary
