Job description
ABOUT QUINCE
Quince is a destination for builders, creators, innovators, and operators who want to come together and challenge the status quo. Our mission is simple: make really high quality essentials for really low prices, fairly and sustainably. We deliver on that mission through a unique manufacturer-to-consumer (M2C) model eliminating the layers of traditional retail that add cost and result in consumers paying more than they need to. We find, build relationships with, and work directly with the manufacturing partners behind some of the world’s finest products. From there, our teams design smart, efficient operational processes and build and deploy proprietary technology, AI, and analytics to help us scale fast.
What began with a small assortment of elevated basics has quickly grown into a cross-category brand spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, and more. Today, tens of millions of people across a growing number of countries come – and return – to Quince because they trust us to deliver.
OUR CULTURE
Quince is a culture built for builders by builders. Our way of working starts with a blank sheet of paper. We question conventional thinking, use technology and data to uncover new opportunities, and move quickly to turn ideas into reality. We aren’t interested in replicating how others do retail. We’re building a better way – at a speed and scale unlike anything that’s been done before.
- We dream big and chase the hard problems others shy away from. Rejecting long-held assumptions is part of our company's DNA. Where conventional wisdom says you have to choose – soft or durable, speed or rigor, quality or price – we ask why that trade-off has to exist in the first place.
- Our pace is fast and the bar is high because our customers expect a lot from us and we refuse to let them down. We believe the best results come from challenging ourselves, learning from one another, and building on each other's strengths.
- Here, responsibility is not determined by role, tenure, or seniority. Every team member - no matter their level - has the opportunity to drive our business and shape our trajectory.
If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.
THE ROLE
Software Development Engineer II – Data Engineering
We’re looking for a Software Development Engineer II (Data Engineering) to join our growing Data Engineering team. In this role, you will design, build, and operate scalable data platforms, pipelines, and services that power analytics, engineering, and Data Science across Quince.

- Apply distributed computing principles to build systems that can efficiently process large and complex datasets.
- Identify bottlenecks and continuously improve the efficiency of data pipelines and services.
Big Data & Distributed Systems
- Work with large-scale data processing technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, Hive, and Presto.
- Evaluate, research, and integrate modern data engineering frameworks and technologies as the platform evolves.
- Build and maintain streaming and event-driven data pipelines using technologies such as Kafka, Kinesis, or RabbitMQ.
- Design solutions for processing and integrating data from multiple sources and formats.
Collaboration & Execution
- Partner closely with engineering, analytics, Data Science, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
- Work effectively through ambiguity by identifying problems, evaluating trade-offs, and driving solutions to completion.
- Communicate technical decisions and system designs clearly across teams.
- Contribute to code reviews, technical discussions, and engineering standards.
- Spend the majority of your time on hands-on development, technical problem-solving, and research.
Operational Excellence
- Monitor and maintain production data pipelines, services, and workflows.
- Debug and resolve data quality, performance, reliability, and production issues.
- Establish appropriate monitoring and operational practices for critical data systems.
- Continuously improve the reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency of data infrastructure.
Qualifications
Required:
- 4+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Strong experience with big data technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, Hive, or Presto.
- Experience with streaming and messaging platforms such as Kafka, Kinesis, or RabbitMQ.

Preferred:
- Experience working with cloud-native data services, particularly AWS.
- Experience with MPP data warehouses such as Snowflake or Redshift.
- Strong proficiency with Apache Spark and Apache Kafka.
- Experience with NoSQL databases such as Redis, DynamoDB, or Memcached.
- Experience designing and operating large-scale, highly available data platforms.
- Experience with data quality, monitoring, observability, and production data operations.
- Familiarity with containerization, CI/CD, and modern cloud-native engineering practices.
- Experience working in a high-growth technology, e-commerce, or data-intensive environment.
