Experienced Software Engineers- bring your experience to work for you where people love to shop! Boscov's is a chain of full service department stores serving the total family needs of our customers. 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 are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer who is driven by ownership and impact.

Qualifications:

• 7+ years building software, with depth in backend/API development
• C# / .NET expertise as a primary development platform
• SQL proficiency, including writing, optimizing, and troubleshooting complex query plans
• Well-developed engineering practices — including SOLID principles, design patterns, and testing strategies — with demonstrated, hands-on application rather than theoretical knowledge alone
• Strong system design instincts, with the ability to identify trade-offs and ask the right questions during architectural discussions
• Comfort with ambiguity — requirements are not always fully defined, and the ability to clarify, decompose, and drive forward is essential
• Prior experience modernizing legacy systems, or a demonstrated enthusiasm for doing so

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with retail, inventory, or pricing systems
• Exposure to mainframe integration (DB2, IBM zOS, etc.)
• React, Node, or other frontend frameworks
• Cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and containerization
