Kohls grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Buffalo room into the technology partner much of NY now trusts. Growth budgets at Kohls are generous because a sharper Spring Boot you means a stronger team.

We frame the offer around growth: $85,000 - $122,000 today, mentorship now, benefits always, and the flexibility to live well in NY.

We hire for hunger as much as resumes, so if that's you, the Software Engineer role is open.
