LEAD APPLICATION DEVELOPER –MONITORING &
TELEMETRY TEAM

The Monitoring and Telemetry product team develops innovative
ways to enable operational visibility so that proactive actions can be taken at
speed and scale.

In today’s world, Guests’ technologies expectations are very,
very high. When they login to
Target.com, they expect it to be available, performant, and quite simply
work. When they choose order pickup,
they expect their order to be available for pickup in store the same day in a
couple hours. To meet these
expectations, Target needs to have confidence that our technologies are meeting
the guest’s needs. Product teams across
all of Target can gain this confidence by consuming Monitoring and Telemetry
offerings.

We want an application
developer who is motivated by solving problems which oftentimes have not been solved anywhere with
open source or vendor solutions. Due to
Target’s sheer size...we manage over a Petabyte of metrics and logs….existing
solutions are often not the right ones for us.
If you’re excited to work on a fast-moving, tightly knit team and build
solutions to unsolved problems, we want to meet you.

Here’s a smattering of approaches important to us, and the
technologies we use:

?Everything we do is “as-code” in version control. We don’t like
clicking buttons or doing things manually.

?All changes go through a pull-request process, so you’ll always
have a way to thumbs up or down things you catch.

?Nearly everything should have test cases and go through a
continuous integration/continuous deployment process

?Some technologies which are critical to the work we do: Java,
Golang, React, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Kafka, GitHub, Drone,
Artifactory, Chef, Spinnaker, OpenStack, the elastic stack, Telegraf, InfluxDB,
and Grafana
