Job description

At Bazaarvoice, we create smart shopping experiences. Through our expansive global network, product-passionate community & enterprise technology, we connect thousands of brands and retailers with billions of consumers. Our solutions enable brands to connect with consumers and collect valuable user-generated content, at an unprecedented scale. This content achieves global reach by leveraging our extensive and ever-expanding retail, social & search syndication network. And we make it easy for brands & retailers to gain valuable business insights from real-time consumer feedback with intuitive tools and dashboards. The result is smarter shopping: loyal customers, increased sales, and improved products.

The problem we are trying to solve : Brands and retailers struggle to make real connections with consumers. It's a challenge to deliver trustworthy and inspiring content in the moments that matter most during the discovery and purchase cycle. The result? Time and money spent on content that doesn't attract new consumers, convert them, or earn their long-term loyalty.

Our brand promise : closing the gap between brands and consumers.

Founded in 2005, Bazaarvoice is headquartered in Austin, Texas with offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

It’s official: Bazaarvoice is a Great Place to Work in the US, Australia, India, Lithuania, France, Germany and the UK!

You’ll be part of a highly skilled team that is responsible for developing critical and urgent projects across a wide variety of Bazaarvoice systems.

These projects span both front end and back end with an emphasis on building with quality and simplicity. Some past projects for this team include AI insights, conversion dashboards, reporting system improvements, and a system to attach custom metadata.

If you are interested in building different projects with high impact instead of working in a single system, this is a great opportunity. Our customers are both end users and other product development professionals and collaboration with internal product development teams is key.

We are interested in engineers who are hands‑on and willing to dig into tough problems. We love people who are willing to explore new areas, learn quickly, and apply their skills to challenging issues.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver robust, well-tested features for critical projects across a wide range of systems.
• Develop code patterns, and modernization for our platforms by working with other development teams.
• Deliver accurate estimation of technical projects while ensuring enough time is allocated to properly test and take care of technical debt while we work.
• Design, code and review changes - applying an end-to-end quality mindset to ensure the highest degree of accessibility and composability.
• Engage, collaborate and mentor engineers both on and off the team.

About You:

• 2 or more years experience with TypeScript and a framework like React/Angular/Vue/Svelte.
• 2 or more years of experience with Java and an API framework like Spring/Grails.
• A drive and ability to succeed and push others to success.
• Strong experience mentoring others on a quality mindset and approach.
• Ability to collaborate with others.
• Desire to grow and take ownership of work.
• Aren’t afraid to take on less glamorous work if it helps the team accomplish their mission.
• Experience with Agile or Kanban / Lean software development methodologies.

Desirable:

• Familiarity with vite / webpack.
• Familiarity with nx or other monorepo frameworks.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines like Github Actions.
• Testing libraries and runners like Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, Playwright.
