JOB DESCRIPTION
A monetary force, this company, with over one hundred and fifty billion dollars in annual revenue is the pulse of the retail industry. By having over 2,750 different locations in thirty-five states, there is no doubt that this company directly impacts the lives of many people in the American populous, and, by extension, in the world populous. Being a part of such a massive retail organization can be intimidating, but this company, through their subsidiaries, is able to maintain personal relationships with their employees. Through intentionality, integrity, and innovation, this company is able to be an ideal workplace that excites and has a profound impact on several communities. This company fully understands that by working together there is no limit to what can be created.

 

One of the biggest drivers of this business is the Alternative Revenue Group. This group has recently spun up a dedicated team to support the company's monetization efforts. Previously, these products were maintained as a piece of other teams’ spaces so there will be a focused effort on breaking any coupling within the existing codebase as well as a continuation for the enhancement of the monetization platform. It offers a fun and unique challenge because the company is building a platform from scratch, while being able to benefit from the previous lessons learned. This company is looking at how they can evolve their product offering to serve customers better every day while making a sizeable impact on the business.
