Blue Nile, the largest online retailer of certified diamonds, engagement rings and fine jewelry, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help drive full-stack development and technical innovation for our new ITA Logistics/Marketing team. This team primarily focuses on Java/Groovy REST web services, data ingestion and processing, internal tools, and extranet systems that are the digital foundation of the Blue Nile diamond and jewelry supply chain, but we do a little of everything. Some days we'll be building cutting-edge web services, other days we'll be focusing on front-end web development. Sometimes we'll bug-fix legacy code (every place has some), other times we'll handle urgent requests from stakeholders and other business partners. We're domain experts, technical experts, and thought leaders. No matter what we're doing, we push for continual improvement, aim to be a good example for the rest of the company to follow, and drive the business forward through the proactive and intelligent use of technology.

Do you have the skills, experience, and most importantly, ideas that we need? Are you the sort of person that brings new ideas to the table every day, mentors and learns from other engineers, and makes a positive impact to everything around them? Do you love delivering features that make the experience better for both customers and future engineers? Do you firmly believe in the value of automating everything, including testing, building, deployment, and business processes?  If so, this is the job for you!
