Job description

Overview

84 Lumber is modernizing its store operations through a next-generation Point of Sale (POS) platform, and we are building the team to make it happen. The Developer on the IT Deployment Team will design, build, and maintain the software systems that power and support this platform across 84 Lumber's store network.

This is a hands-on development role working alongside Business Analysts and Deployment specialists to build internal tools, integrations, and enhancements that streamline the POS rollout and ongoing operations. The Developer will work primarily in Python and Angular, with responsibility for back-end services, front-end interfaces, and the databases that connect them.

The Deployment Team's mission is to own the full rollout lifecycle for the new POS platform and future applications built on it - from initial deployment through ongoing training, support, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Support rollouts to new stores from a technical perspective.
• Ensure installations of software, infrastructure, and databases are successful
• Troubleshoot and resolve application issues reported by stores or deployment team members
• Identify more serious concerns and be able to report these to the development team.
• Manage and support relational databases supporting POS configuration, store data, and deployment tracking. Understand the data and be able to analyze and interpret.
• Collaborate with Business Analysts to translate store workflow requirements into software solutions
• Collaborate with Business Analysts to build demos and other training tools for stores.
• Write clean, well-documented code and participate in code reviews
• Support testing, QA, and validation processes during deployment cycles
• Design, develop, and maintain Python-based back-end services and APIs supporting the POS platform and deployment goals when not directly engaged in rollout tasks
• Maintain Angular front-end applications used by store teams and internal staff when not on deployment activities
• Build and maintain Jenkins jobs for software deployment, log retrieval and analysis, and more
• Contribute to the development of future applications built on the same platform as the program expands

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with POS systems, retail technology, or enterprise application deployments a plus
• Background in warehouse, inventory, or distribution operations technology a plus
• Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience working in or alongside an 84 Lumber store or similar building materials/retail environment a plus
• Jenkins experience
