The Engineering Team at Loop is a balance of agility, consistency, and performance. These are the pillars that allow the team to constantly and consistently deliver value that matters to customers. That customer intimacy is what allows our engineering teams to be the best in our space, and bring the best ideas to the market. The Platform team is internally focused on engineering enablement to identify pain points and bottlenecks as well as improve systems and technical processes.
You’ll be part of a team that develops and integrates internal tools with cloud-based services that facilitate CI/CD, source code management, testing pipelines and multiple non-production environments, improving the path to production. As Loop scales its engineering practice, we must reduce friction and distribute our developer practice, while maintaining high-standards of quality and security in the process. The team will interface closely with Development and Security operations on systems, advocate for product delivery teams, and enable the wonderful humans at Loop to be successful.
We’ve listed what we think you’ll be spending your time on, however this is a new team and Loop is growing fast so the challenges we’ll work on together will change as we lead Loop through new and different phases.
This is an indispensable role with us, so we’ll be looking for you to have examples of when you’ve tackled these challenges throughout your career. We’ve laid out the experience we think is important to set you up for success in this role. But, we appreciate that different humans will solve problems in different ways, so we don’t expect you to fit exactly in a box of requirements.

In a perfect world, Loop wouldn't exist. If we had our way, we'd live in a world where we're mindful about how we consume, we love every product we own, and we share values with the brands who create them. In reality, commerce isn't perfect and often breaks. Loop creates second chances.
We're starting by revolutionizing the post-purchase experience. We've taken one of the most fragile commerce interactions - returns - and turned it into something consumers actually love, and that deepens our connection to brands and products.
We take connection seriously on the inside, too. We're building a work experience that allows you to Be A Human First and prioritizes empathy and wellbeing. We view Loop as a special place in your career to shape the future of an industry and become a better person while doing it. You can grow faster here in a shorter amount of time - we'll give you space and trust you to fill it.
