JOIN US AS A LEAD ENGINEER - Automation Portal, Data Sciences PlatformAbout us: Target as a tech company? Absolutely! We are the behind-the-scenes powerhouse that fuels Target's passion and commitment to innovative innovation. We anchor every facet of one of the world's best-loved retailers with a strong technology framework that relies on the latest tools and technologies-and the brightest people-to deliver incredible value to guests online and in stores. The Team: This engineering team is responsible for designing, building, developing, deploying, and maintaining an internal platform tool called Automation Portal. Automation Portal is the premier platform for data movement & automated task scheduling across the Target enterprise. The platform is a combination of multiple distributed applications having broadly classified into 4 different streams: 1. Scheduler service, which acts as the brain of the platform and key decision maker which decides when & which workload to run. 2. Web application, which acts as the face of the platform and provides necessary user interaction needed. Users use this module to configure and schedule their workloads, be it a data movement or a simple task automation. 3. App stack, which acts as the limbs of the platform and provides different applications for different uses cases of the end user. Some of the example apps our platform supports are DataStream, Container as a Service (CaaS), Script Automation, Report Automation etc. 4. Microservices, which act as the interconnections between various components of the platform. These microservices provide both public and private API's which are responsible for rendering web applications, as well as interaction between scheduler service, and applications supported by the platform. All analytical data at Target flows through our systems from their source applications to downstream reporting applications where the reporting dashboards are built for business intelligence and business analytics. The Automation portal team provides a great mix of backend, frontend software development and infrastructure work and has a presence in Minneapolis, USA & Bengaluru, India. We embrace a culture of inclusivity and continuous growth. About you: As a Lead Engineer on this team, you serve as a specialist in the engineering team that supports the product.
