Engineer I - Vendor Funds

Best Buy is currently seeking an Engineer I within our merchandising domain. We are a small team that manages Vendor Funds, a function that supports our financial systems. We are committed to agile engineering practices, code simplicity, and consistent high quality. Team members contribute to all aspects of software development and delivery. Our team has a few different responsibilities. We support and maintain an existing collection of legacy systems, which provide mission-critical value to the company. We are also in the process of replacing those systems with distributed, scalable, custom applications. As we expand the team to accelerate this replacement, we seek to build a collaborative, flexible, and durable team to build and maintain the new systems. We are looking for a full stack developer with some leadership experience. This will primarily be a backend role, but there is also frontend work that will be needed.

This role is hybrid, which means you will be required to work on site Monday through Thursday at the Best Buy corporate office in Richfield, Minnesota. You can work virtually from home or another non Best Buy location on Friday. The recruiter or hiring manager will provide more details during the hiring process.

• Leverage modern engineering practices, cloud technologies, and AI-assisted development tools to improve team productivity and solution quality
• Contribute to a collaborative, high-performing engineering culture through knowledge sharing, peer support, and continuous learning
• Work within an Extreme Programming (XP) model, using pair programming as a core development practice to collaboratively design, build, test, and deliver high-quality solutions.

Basic Qualifications:

• 1+ years of relevant experience with a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent relevant professional experience;
• 1+ years of development experience with Java, Spring Boot, and related frameworks in a modern enterprise technology stack
