WHAT YOU’LL do in this role
Description
Everything we do at DICK’S Sporting Goods centers around our customers, or as we call them, our athletes. From online to in-store, we’re disrupting retail through technology.
Our Software Engineering teams are key disruptors. We empower our engineers to tear down the silos and work collaboratively with their product team to deliver solutions. We work in nimble product teams composed of engineers, designers, and product managers that aren’t bogged down by project plans and politics, but are empowered to continuously create, test and execute. One of the best parts is after the work is done, you get to see the results of your work in our stores, online and throughout our business. You get to make a difference.
What we’re looking for

As an Engineer at DICK’s you will:
- Bring at least 3 years of experience to the table
- Work collaboratively with designers, product managers, and engineers
- Leverage cutting-edge technologies and modern practices
- Build and ship high-quality code at a rapid pace
- Work with open source tools to build new technologies
- Participate in design thinking activities to improve the user experience
- 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.
So, we will expect you to:
- 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
- Team up with designers, testers, and product managers to find the best solutions for our customers

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
- Be limited by project plans
- Find yourself stuck in a boring cube
- Pay to park or be stuck in a corporate high-rise
- Be pigeonholed into proprietary and stagnant codebases
Team Background:
- You’ll be joining a team that supports a variety of our Finance business partners, including Accounting Operations, Non-Merchandise Procurement, Treasury, and Sales Tax.
- Your first project will involve our continued integration with a third-party tax engine (Vertex). Modernizing and supporting a system critical to all in-store and eCommerce transactions.
- As a member of an 8-person team, you’ll have plenty of peer support, and will have opportunities to contribute to a variety of Finance related projects.
Experience:
- Willingness to speak up and share your opinions and insights. Your unique background and experience will be critical to growing the team and driving our technology forward.
- The majority of our applications are created with .NET Core (C#), primarily with a SQL Server database. Experience with dotnet and relational databases is a must.
- As we continue to modernize our systems, we’ll be prioritizing a web-first, Cloud hosted system. Experience with basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript is a must, and exposure to modern frameworks like Angular or React will be a major plus!
- We continue to use and experiment with newer technologies such as RabbitMQ, Kafka, NOSQL databases such as MongoDB or COSMOS, and a variety of others. Experience here isn’t required, but a strong passion for learning and experimenting is!
- We deploy to a multi-cloud infrastructure, via Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). Experience with PCF not required, but familiarity with creating cloud-native applications a plus.
If you’re excited about joining the DSG team, we’d love to meet you.
