We’re a small and fast company, where you get to own end-to-end features, work with 100% deployed cloud services and solving gnarly problems with world class engineers. We strongly believe in recognizing outstanding work, promoting from within and giving opportunities of fast track career growth for our engineers. We have an experimentation and prototyping mentality that encourages constant learning opportunities while challenging our status quo. And we wrap all that in a collaborative culture that encourages healthy work/life balance. Come and make your mark on our path forward!

The Member Engagement Platform (MEP) team is Zulily’s primary communication channel with the customers. Last year, we sent over 10 billion emails, mobile push notifications, Facebook messages and launched our SMS channel. For 2021, our goal is to expand our use of Machine Learning to personalize the content, schedule and channel execution of every single communication so we can give each individual customer the best and most timely information pertinent to her shopping needs. Our vision is to build a cross channel marketing orchestration platform that’s optimized for each individual customer. 

Our team builds cool and fun ways to reach out to our customers on many different channels.  We are looking for a strong backend Software Engineer to help build the next communication platform that will leverage ML to optimize channel-based customer notification.  

Our values are mutual respect, empathy, and support for each other. We win and fail as a team. We strive for technical excellence and strive to improve our quality of lives as engineers. We don’t say “minimally viable product”; we say, “minimally loveable product”. We use modern technology to solve cool problems. In our debates, data wins over opinion. 

If this reads like the culture you want to live by, give us a shout – we've been looking for you.
