Principal Front End Engineer, Merchandise Tech - (Remote)
Who We Are
Vistaprint is the industry leader in personalized physical and digital products. We empower over 17 million global customers to make an impression – and we’re fueled by forward-thinking and innovative technology. We encourage our engineers to think like owners – to continue to act small as we grow. Every team builds their own roadmaps, and chooses the programming languages and technologies that suit them best. This helps us have a big impact at the enterprise level, while still feeling small and nimble.
Just last year, Vistaprint generated $1.508B in revenue through customized print products, signage, apparel, websites and more.
We’re an engineering team of 60 people who make customer happiness a daily reality through learning and working closely with customers, internal business partners, and cross-functional teams. We aim to build the right solutions, the right way. We speak many languages like JavaScript, C#, Java, Python, as well as English, Spanish, and Japanese to name a few; but what’s most important is technical excellence, agnostic of language. We love Agile principles and bring these values to how we work. Happy people + collaborative environment = great products!
