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If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.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 Engineer II, Growth
We are seeking a Software Engineer II for the Growth Marketing Engineering Team. You are the kind of engineer who gravitates toward the hardest problems at the intersection of technology and performance marketing: designing a low-latency bidding optimization engine, building a reliable creative generation pipeline, or defining the architectural patterns that will shape how Quince scales its growth stack. You operate with high autonomy, hold yourself to exceptional standards, and naturally raise the bar for the engineers around you through rigorous code reviews, sharp technical judgment, and a bias toward clean, durable solutions over quick fixes.
Responsibilities
- Designing and implementing software features and components, following best practices and coding standards with minimal supervision.
- Contributing to identifying the root cause of complex problems, scale, and stability challenges.
- Proposing a solution to mitigate them in the short/medium/long term horizon.
- Keeping up-to-date with new technologies, frameworks, and best practices in software development, and applying them to improve the performance and reliability of software systems.
- Writing and maintaining technical documentation, API specifications, code documentation, and technical design documents.
- Participating in code reviews and contributing to the development of coding standards and best practices.
- Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to their professional growth and development.
- Leading software development projects and working collaboratively with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software products
Qualifications
Required
-
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
-
At least 2 years of professional experience working in building user facing products.
-
Experience in advertisement performance tooling is a plus.
-

-
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
-
Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
-
Understand the hustle of a startup and are good with handling ambiguity.
-

Pay Range: $188,000 - $203,000 + bonus + equity
