Thank you for dedicating your time and talent to Lowe’s. We want to give you more opportunities to learn and grow, so if you find a position you’re interested in below, we encourage you to apply!
About the Team
Join the team building and evolving Lowe's external partner integration platform, connecting vendors and partners with Lowe's services and capabilities.
The team works across four core areas: partner integrations, shared platform capabilities, the public-facing Developer Hub, and platform operations and support. Each brings different technical challenges and technologies.
As our partner ecosystem grows, we're focused on making integrations more seamless and scalable, reducing partner onboarding time, and expanding the capabilities available through the platform.
About the Role
You'll help shape the platform that makes it easier and faster for external partners to connect and do business with Lowe's, influencing how we design, build, scale, and operate it as our partner ecosystem grows.
As a Lead Software Engineer, you'll be a hands-on technical leader driving design and architecture while continuing to build and deliver software. You'll mentor engineers and partner with business teams and external vendors to solve complex technical problems.
You'll work across full-stack development, microservices and APIs, databases, DevOps and CI/CD, observability, and modern engineering practices including spec-driven development.
What You'll Do:
Lead and build: Design, develop, and deliver complex full-stack solutions while helping guide architecture and technical direction across the platform.
Solve at scale: Build resilient services, APIs, integrations, and user experiences that can evolve as partner volume and business capabilities grow.
Own production quality: Engineer for reliability, performance, observability, security, scalability, and operational excellence from development through production.
Drive technical decisions: Evaluate architectural approaches and emerging technologies, communicate tradeoffs, and turn complex business requirements into practical engineering solutions.
Improve how we build: Contribute to modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, containerized development, automated testing, code quality, and evolving AI-assisted and spec-driven development workflows.
Raise the engineering bar: Mentor engineers, lead thoughtful code and design reviews, share best practices, and improve standards across the team.
Partner across boundaries: Collaborate with product, business teams, engineers, and external partners to design solutions that support a growing integration ecosystem.
What You Bring:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems (CIS), or a related field, or equivalent experience in lieu of the education requirement, if applicable.
7+ years of software development or related engineering experience, including 6+ years working across software engineering competencies such as frontend, microservices and APIs, databases, and DevOps.
Strong full-stack engineering fundamentals with experience designing and delivering complex, integrated software solutions across multiple applications or systems.
Technical breadth across languages, frameworks, and technologies, with the ability to adapt and make sound architectural decisions rather than being limited to a single stack.
Experience delivering solutions through iterative Agile development and providing technical leadership and mentorship while remaining hands-on.

It's a Plus If You Have:
