Job opening - Innovation Lab Developer at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA)

The Nordstrom Innovation Lab is a new, and growing, team. We act like a startup inside of a large company: we move through ideas quickly, using whichever technologies make sense. We also walk the agile walk: the lab is a collaborative workspace with stickies and note cards everywhere, and we follow agile engineering practices like pairing and test-driven development. On the customer-facing side, we use ideas from both lean manufacturing and lean startup.


If you like how this sounds, we’d love to talk to you!


YOU



  • Thrive on challenge. When did you fail last?

  • Are curious & always learning. What are you working on right now?

  • Can deal with constant change. When were you last surprised?

  • Have mastered at least one programming langua! ge, but are not married to it.

  • Can wear many hats.


WHAT WE BUILD



  • A new product every week or two.

  • Validated learning: we build experiments, not applications. We pass the working ones on to other teams.

  • Risky projects: we expect 80% to fail.

  • High leverage: the 20% that succeed have a huge impact.

  • New & diverse technologies: web, mobile, Kinect, and sometimes even infrastructure.
