** Job Description
** At Nordstrom, product data is the backbone of the customer experience — from the moment a product is listed to the moment it ships. The PIM Egress team owns
** Product Core Service (PCS)**, the authoritative API and Kafka interface that delivers product data to every corner of the business. PCS is mission-critical infrastructure. It serves
** 100+ downstream teams** — spanning Checkout, Warehouse Management, Data Analytics, and beyond — at
** 600 requests per second
** with a
** 50ms latency target
** and the reliability those teams depend on to run the business.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer on this team, you'll work at the intersection of scale, reliability, and data integrity — designing and evolving the systems that ensure every team at Nordstrom gets accurate, timely product data when they need it.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of large-scale data architecture and customer-facing impact. Every product page a customer sees, every filter they apply, and every category they navigate depends on the systems you will build and evolve.
** This role is offered as hybrid in Seattle, WA. Candidates must be available to work in office at the Nordstrom corporate headquarters a minimum of 4 days/week to be considered for this position.
**** A day in the life...
** As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, you will design, build, and operate services and user interfaces that are central to Nordstrom's product data ecosystem. You will work across the entire stack — from React-based internal tools used by merchants and data stewards to Java microservices that process millions of catalog and hierarchy records daily. While this role is Full Stack it's mostly Backend Engineering (80%).

Our UI surfaces are internal tools built for the people who manage Nordstrom's Product Data — think operational dashboards, workflow monitors, and admin interfaces that give teams real-time visibility into how millions of items move through our systems. If you prefer building tools for internal business users that you can have face-to-face conversations with, this role is for you!
* ** Build and evolve core platform services.
** You'll own microservices that power catalog management, hierarchical classification, and organizational master data. These services integrate with upstream ingestion pipelines (including Kafka-based event streaming and Temporal workflow orchestration) and serve downstream consumers across the company.
* ** Design delightful internal tools.
** Merchants, buyers, and data stewards rely on the UIs your team builds to manage catalogs, assign hierarchy nodes, and govern organizational entities. You'll create React-based applications that make complex data operations intuitive and efficient.
* ** Drive data quality at scale.
** You'll build validation, canonicalization, and entity resolution capabilities that ensure data consistency across Nordstrom's product ecosystem — spanning wholesale, marketplace, and direct-to-consumer channels.
* ** Own what you ship.
** You'll participate in on-call rotations, build observability into every service (New Relic, structured logging, custom dashboards), and drive operational excellence through runbooks, alerting, and incident response.
* ** Influence technical direction.
** You'll contribute to architecture decisions, participate in design reviews, and mentor engineers on the team. Your designs will consider upstream and downstream integration points and balance short-term delivery with long-term platform health.
