The Nordstrom Innovation Lab is a new, and growing, team chartered with furthering retail technology innovation at Nordstrom to better serve customers.
We are currently looking for the following professionals:
You:
- Thrive on challenge. When did you fail last?
- Are curious & always learning. What are you working on right now?
- Can deal with constant change. When were you last surprised?
- Have mastered at least one skill of your trade but you’re not defined by it. What can you teach us? Can you wear many hats?
What we build:
- A new product every week or two.
- Validated learning: we build experiments, not applications. We pass the working ones on to other teams.
- Risky projects: we expect 80% to fail.
- High leverage: we expect that 20% that succeed to have a huge impact.
- New & diverse technologies: web, mobile, and sometimes even infrastructure.
How we do it:
- A modern development stack: for web apps, we use Rails, RSpec, Heroku, and cloud storage
- Pull from Agile, Lean, Customer Development, and Lean Startup to find an edge.
- Let you choose the tools to do your job
- Work as a team: sit together, pair, write tests, create personas, and story map.
- Meet after work every week and figure out how to do it better next week.
If you like how this sounds, we’d love to talk to you! Apply Now!
