In the Foundations domain at VistaPrint, we develop the technology that powers the website's customer-facing capabilities. We manage the shared components and capabilities used throughout the VistaPrint site, such as a Design System, routing for all services, URL management for all user experiences, shared UI components, an experimentation framework, and the My Account section for our shoppers. Our goal is to empower content creators to deliver dynamic, content-driven marketing experiences using technologies like React, Contentful, Builder.io, and our own next-generation page rendering platform; each team has the autonomy to select the technology that best addresses their specific needs.
Our decision-making is data-driven, guided by customer feedback and insights. Each team collaborates closely with the product organization to develop a balanced roadmap that incorporates technology maintenance, innovation, and the delivery of incremental value.
What You Will Do:
As a Senior Software Engineer in the Foundations Domain, you’ll be expected to collaborate with multiple teams, understand the business domain, design solutions, and shape the technical direction without supervision.
Here are some examples so you can get an idea:
Build a next-generation page rendering framework that allows Product teams to launch page fragments and Dynamic JavaScript Modules independently, speeding up the delivery of new user experiences;
Develop an API for dynamically loading SystemJS modules, allowing library authors and page authors to quickly deploy (or rollback) a library across the site and personalize their content;
Own and improve the services that define routing from customer-facing URLs to microservices and micro frontends owned by all Product teams in the organization;
Understand the content management needs of our internal clients and build services and tooling, as well as write documentation, to meet those needs;
Pair with a passionate and engaging engineering team to build the new Vista platform. Help us set the new standard in how eCommerce sites are run.
Your Qualifications:
At Vista, we are striving to hire individuals that add new ideas and perspectives to our teams and enhance our culture. No matter your background or work experience, we strongly encourage you to apply—even if you feel that you don’t meet the exact requirements or have the same qualifications. You might be a great candidate for this or other opportunities.

Previous background in collaborating with business stakeholders to understand their needs and working with your team to create a software solution from scratch;

Nice to Have:
