- Work with great people at our sprawling Pittsburgh campus that includes sports leagues, a world-class health club, and a dynamic culture
We believe that there is always a better way.

- Continuously learn modern software design and development core practices, utilizing articles, MeetUps, conferences, tech talks, etc.
- Review and discuss code with engineering peers and leaders to understand best practices and optimal design patterns
- Take the initiative to drive new ideas and projects
- Increase your business acumen by consistently learning about other parts of the business

Lastly, here’s some stuff that won’t be part of your day-to-day.
At DICK’S you won’t:
- Work in a silo
