The mission of the IoT Platform Team is to enable Target teams to deploy and manage IoT devices at scale in Target facilities to provide guest and team member services effectively and efficiently by abstracting device management and network complexities. Critical guest services such as refrigerator monitoring, guest request button, team member safety and productivity use cases. The platform has about 50K devices connected and processes 100s of millions of messages per day from across 2K locations.

As a lead engineer, you serve as the technical anchor for the engineering team that supports a platform. You create, own, and are responsible for the platform architecture that best serves the functional and non-functional needs. You identify and drive architectural changes to accelerate feature development and improve the quality of service. You have deep and broad engineering skills and are capable of standing up an architecture in its whole on your own, but you choose to influence a wider team by acting as a “force multiplier”.

Target values engineers that care about:

• A diverse, inclusive, and collaborative culture

• Robust architectures with mature CI/CD pipelines

• Code as craft with a desire to solve complex engineering problems with simplicity

• Operational excellence with an approach to engineering that makes our guests and team members their top priority.

• Triaging large scale issues with a bias to prevent them from happening in the first place
