Come join the Costco Wholesale IT family. Costco IT is a dynamic, fast-paced environment, working through exciting transformation efforts. We are building the next generation retail environment where you will be surrounded by dedicated and highly professional employees.
Software Engineers perform development work across the technology stack (both front-end/back-end expertise). They are versatile in how they can add value, demonstrating the ability to manage the completion of projects that involve backend services and the development of front-end applications. They should be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of emerging technologies to support the development of new solutions. Software Engineers understand the full technology stack and underlying pharmacy applications and services in order to ensure optimal performance.
IT Pharmacy is looking for a dedicated and experienced Software Engineer to help design, develop, and implement solutions in production systems. The individual in this role will work closely with the Pharmacy department for designing new or improving existing systems. The focus will be to analyze the in-house development services that will provide scalable solutions to accelerate our outsourced integration as well as development of inhouse applications. This Engineer will work with other IT groups to leverage their tools and experience to ensure we have a solid, supportable solution.
