LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Our Team.
In the Foundations domain at VistaPrint, we develop the technology that powers the website's customer-facing capabilities.
We manage the shared components and capabilities that are used throughout the VistaPrint site, such as a Design System, routing for all services, URL management for all user experiences, shared UI components, an experimentation framework, and the My Account section for our shoppers.
Our goal is to help content creators build engaging marketing experiences using popular technologies such as React, Contentful, and our own next-generation page rendering platform.
Each team can choose the technology that best suits their needs.
Our decision-making is data-driven, guided by customer feedback and insights.
Each team collaborates closely with the product organization to develop a balanced roadmap that incorporates technology maintenance, innovation, and the delivery of incremental value.
