Software Engineer

Software is the foundation of our high-volume e-commerce business, which is why we develop all of it ourselves. As a Software Engineer, you will work with modern, web-based technology to improve our catalog, manage orders and inventory, process data and images from suppliers, even translate product descriptions into other languages. You will design and develop new applications from scratch (not fiddle with settings on third-party packages or patch code from 1979).

Position Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science with top-tier academic performance
• Familiarity with open-source development technologies like PHP, Perl, SQL, JavaScript and C (Linux system administration skills would be a plus)
• Talent for writing focused, fast, efficient and well-documented software
• Proven success designing and building clever solutions to business challenges
• Desire and ability to handle all the responsibilities of an Engineer: Analyst, Architect, Developer, Tester and Trainer

Must be able to work full-time from our Madison, WI office and have the ability to work for any US employer without visa sponsorship.

Why RockAuto?

Strategic and tactical impact. We are an e-commerce company. The business runs on your software.
