WHAT YOU'LL DO IN THIS ROLE

Everything we do at DICK’S Sporting Goods centers around our customers, or as we call them, our athletes. From online to in-store, we’re disrupting retail through technology.

Our Software Engineering team are key disruptors. As a Principal Software Engineer, you are an expert of your craft. You are a natural leader. The idea of disrupting an industry with technologies you help create is invigorating.

We empower our engineers to tear down the silos and work collaboratively with their product team to deliver solutions. We work in nimble product teams composed of engineers, designers, and product managers that aren’t bogged down by project plans and politics, but are empowered to continuously create, test and execute. One of the best parts is after the work is done, you get to see the results of your work in our stores, online and throughout our business. You get to make a difference.

First, let’s talk Tech.

Here is a list

• Python, SQL, Databricks, Air Flow, Azure Data Factory, Snowflake, Qlik, PowerBI

As a Principal Software Engineer at DICK’S you will:

• Design, develop, and launch extremely efficient and reliable data pipelines to move data and to provide intuitive analytics to our partner teams.

• Make data more discoverable and easier to use for Data Scientists, Analysts and Other Product teams across the company.

• Mentor and Lead engineering teams and team members in software delivery within Data in an Agile Environment

• Own complete solution across entire life cycle while utilizing strong problem-solving ability

• Lead design sessions and code reviews to elevate the quality of data engineering across the organization

• Participate in an on-call rotation for support during and after business hours

• Work collaboratively with designers, product managers, and engineers

• Consistently look for opportunities to develop our Software Developers, sharing your expertise and lessons

• Spend about 30% of your time coding so you can keep up to date on your technical skills

• Leverage cutting-edge technologies and modern practices

• Build and ship high-quality code at a rapid pace

• Work with great people in an engaging, remote environment while still having access to the many amenities the Pittsburgh campus has to offer, including a world-class health club, hoteling space, collaboration rooms, and enabled technology for hybrid meetings.

• Bring at least 10-15 years of experience to the table

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We believe that there is always a better way.

So, we will expect you to:

• Review and discuss code with engineering peers and leaders to understand best practices and optimal design patterns

• Continuously learn modern software design and development core practices, utilizing articles, MeetUps, conferences, tech talks, etc.

• Engineers at this level are able to deliver complex tasks to production, working independently when required.

• They use best practices in high quality code and continue to push and share their knowledge.

• Take the initiative to drive new ideas and projects

• Understand the business context of the larger domain and potentially other domain areas

• Able to advocate and evangelize specific technologies within and outside the wider organization

• Able to support and mentor seasoned technologists in a structured manner and ad-hoc

• A willingness to continuously learn, experiment, and innovate. Innovation is a critical part of our culture and an expectation for all teammates. If you like brainstorming with your peers on how to disrupt your product domain – or retail as a whole – you’ve come to the right place!

If you’re excited about joining the DSG team, we’d love to meet you.
