Software Engineer II, Pricing Engineering

Who We Are

The Pricing Systems Engineering team powers one of the most critical parts of how Wayfair determines price at scale: calculating accurate, timely, and explainable retail prices across both B2C and B2B channels. We build and operate the systems that turn a wide range of pricing inputs-including cost, revenue, and competitive market signals-into production pricing decisions across the catalog. These systems process large volumes of data and support the complex calculation workflows that shape profitability, revenue, and price perception across the business.

Our team owns the full lifecycle of these pricing capabilities-input transformation/ validation, calculation logic, backend service development, performance optimization, and operational reliability. We collaborate closely with product, analytics, finance, and engineering partners to ensure that pricing is correct, scalable, and responsive to an evolving business. Whether integrating new pricing inputs, improving calculation logic, scaling data workflows, or modernizing existing systems, we focus on engineering excellence, operational rigor, and measurable business impact.

As a Software Engineer on this team, you'll work on high-scale calculation systems and data-heavy backend workflows that sit at the core of Wayfair's pricing ecosystem. You'll help build resilient services and pipelines, write high-quality code, and shape the next generation of pricing infrastructure-technology that will support increasingly intelligent, AI-driven, and agentic shopping experiences while directly influencing customer experience and business outcomes.
