Job description

Purpose:

Floor & Decor is looking for a Senior Developer to join our Corporate Systems/Merchandising IT team, building, enhancing, and supporting applications for our Store associates and Store Support Center (SSC) users. This role is ideal for engineers who move fast with AI-assisted tools - turning prototypes into secure, scalable, production-grade systems without sacrificing quality.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or a closely related field, plus 5+ years of full-cycle software development experience, ideally in retail, plus:
• Advanced backend development in Java/Spring Boot, with hands-on use of modern Java (17/21 LTS) features (virtual threads, records, sealed classes, pattern matching) to build scalable, high-throughput services.
• Database expertise in PostgreSQL (preferred), SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL, including query writing, indexing, and query plan analysis for performance tuning
• Strong grounding in microservices architecture and distributed systems design
• Proficiency in integration patterns: REST APIs, SFTP file transfer, and pub-sub messaging (queues/topics)
• Proven fluency with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) - able to rapidly translate AI-generated prototypes and proofs-of-concept into hardened, production-ready applications, and to use AI to accelerate the full SDLC without cutting corners on security, testing, or scalability
• Agile experience with Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket
• Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills; thrives in a fast-paced, multi-initiative environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Frontend experience with React or Angular and TypeScript
• Cloud experience with Azure, AWS or GCP
• CI/CD experience (Jenkins) and container orchestration (Docker Swarm or Kubernetes)
• Practical experience with DevOps/observability tooling (Terraform, Dynatrace)

Key Responsibilities

• Own full lifecycle delivery - requirements, design, development, unit testing, QA support, and deployment
• Use AI-assisted development to compress the path from prototype to production, applying engineering rigor (testing, code review, security, scalability) so speed never comes at the cost of hardened, maintainable code
• Resolve user-reported issues in ServiceNow within SLA
• Identify and elevate risks; research and document upgrade recommendations
• Mentor junior developers and participate in code reviews
• Partner with business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions
• Contribute to technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and dev standards
