Description:
Target
is an iconic brand, a Fortune 50 company and one of America's leading
retailers.

Target as a tech company? Absolutely. We're the behind-the-scenes powerhouse
that fuels Target's passion and commitment to cutting-edge innovation. We
anchor every facet of one of the world's best-loved retailers with a strong
technology framework that relies on the latest tools and technologies-and the
brightest people-to deliver incredible value to guests online and in stores.
Target Technology Services is on a mission to offer the systems, tools and
support that guests and team members need and deserve. Our high-performing
teams balance independence with collaboration, and we pride ourselves on being
versatile, agile and creative. We drive industry-leading technologies in
support of every angle of the business, and help ensure that Target operates
smoothly, securely and reliably from the inside out.

As a lead engineer within the Local Area
Network (LAN) Engineering team, you serve as the technical anchor for the
engineering team that supports the LAN Distributed Connectivity product. This
space is a rapidly evolving area with a focus on flexible network solutions
including both traditional networking technologies but also with rapid
advancement into disaggregated hardware/software systems, including Opensource
solutions. End to end infrastructure automation and frictionless client
self-service offerings is always top of mind in our roadmap and design. You
create, own and are responsible for the architecture that best serves the
product in its functional and non-functional needs. You identify and drive
architectural changes to accelerate feature development or improve the quality
of service (or both). You have deep and broad engineering skills and are
capable of standing up an architecture in its whole on your own, but you choose
to influence a wider team by acting as a "force multiplier". Core
responsibilities of this job are described within this job description. Job duties
may change at any time due to business needs.

Use
your skills, experience and talents to be a part of groundbreaking thinking and
visionary goals.
