We Can Go Fast Forever

We’re building a fast paced team with an emphasis on iterative development and constant collaboration. We practice and teach an approach to software engineering that applies across industries and organizations, so you’ll experience all types of teams, products, and technologies. And we believe that working fast doesn't mean working overtime- taking time to relax, recharge and refocus keeps our pace sustainable.

We Court Perfection

Working at Kohls means you get better at what you already do well. We set up regular retrospectives to figure out what we’re doing wrong so we can fix it, and what we’re doing right so we can improve on it. We believe that platform engineering follows software engineering standards and best practices closely. We take a full infrastructure-as-code approach to all we do. We practice a DevOps culture. We design and build reliability into our products. And we believe that a methodical, steady, relentless forward momentum drives consistent results.

We Take Care of Business

We crush our work as a team with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers while grounding ourselves with data and feedback. We relentlessly code, test, deploy, operate, and improve our products until they achieve our desired outcomes and are a pleasure to use.
