About the role

  • Software Development Engineer II (Planning and Forecasting)
  • This is the system that will run forecasting, inventory placement, vendor management, and the weekly ordering cadence for a $10B+ business expanding across North America and Europe.
  • As an early engineer on the Planning Tools team, you'll be hands-on across data pipelines, model-serving infrastructure, integrations, and the operator-facing tools that put science in the hands of the planning team.

Responsibilities

  • Implement features end-to-end across data pipelines, model-serving plumbing, integrations with vendor and order management systems, and operator-facing tooling, moving from ticket to production with high craft and minimal hand-holding.
  • Own the quality of what you ship: typed, tested, observable, and easy for the next engineer to read.
  • Partner closely with the planning team's operators, data scientists, and other engineers. Ask for the context you need, surface tradeoffs early, and give honest estimates.
  • Participate in design reviews and architectural discussions
  • Partner closely with the planning team's operators, data scientists, and other engineers.
  • Participate in design reviews and architectural discussions; bring evidence and ask questions; learn from the seniors around you.

Requirements

  • 2 to 4 years of professional software engineering experience shipping production systems.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias to ask, not assume.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Required:
  • Strong fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, debugging, and clean code. You can hold your own in a code review with senior engineers.
  • Comfortable across the stack: data pipelines, APIs, and the basics of model-serving or ML infrastructure.
  • Demonstrable AI-native engineering practice: regular use of AI coding assistants, AI-augmented testing, and AI-augmented data exploration. You should be able to talk specifically about how AI changed how you build.

Compensation

  • $162,000 - $182,000 + bonus + equity
  • All posted ranges are reflective of base salary and may vary depending upon experience level and location. Bonus and equity may also be provided for eligible roles.
  • $162,000 - $182,000 USD

  • Quince is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities.
  • We review all requests individually and will work with you to determine appropriate accommodations on a case-by-case basis.

Benefits

  • Improve the team's operational health, including dashboards, runbooks, and alerts, as a routine part of feature work, not a separate project.
  • AI-augmented coding, test generation, and exploratory data work are how this team moves; fluency with these tools is part of the bar, not a bonus.
  • Bonus and equity may also be provided for eligible roles.
