ABOUT QUINCE
Quince is a destination for builders, creators, innovators, and operators who want to come together and challenge the status quo. Our mission is simple: make really high quality essentials for really low prices, fairly and sustainably. We deliver on that mission through a unique manufacturer-to-consumer (M2C) model eliminating the layers of traditional retail that add cost and result in consumers paying more than they need to. We find, build relationships with, and work directly with the manufacturing partners behind some of the world’s finest products. From there, our teams design smart, efficient operational processes and build and deploy proprietary technology, AI, and analytics to help us scale fast.
What began with a small assortment of elevated basics has quickly grown into a cross-category brand spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, and more. Today, tens of millions of people across a growing number of countries come – and return – to Quince because they trust us to deliver.
OUR CULTURE
Quince is a culture built for builders by builders. Our way of working starts with a blank sheet of paper. We question conventional thinking, use technology and data to uncover new opportunities, and move quickly to turn ideas into reality. We aren’t interested in replicating how others do retail. We’re building a better way – at a speed and scale unlike anything that’s been done before.
If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.
We’re looking for a Principal Engineer : Warehouse Engineering to define the technical vision and architecture for Quince’s warehouse technology ecosystem. You will build the platforms that power inventory movement, fulfillment execution, warehouse operations, and returns across a rapidly scaling supply chain network.
In this role, you will lead the architecture of Quince’s warehouse integration platform, proprietary Warehouse Management System (WMS), and returns platform. You will solve complex problems across warehouse operations, logistics, inventory, and fulfillment while establishing scalable technical foundations for the future.
This role requires a strong combination of distributed systems expertise, operational platform experience, and technical leadership. You will influence architecture across multiple engineering teams, mentor senior engineers, partner with business and operations leaders, and help shape how Quince builds technology for a highly complex and rapidly evolving supply chain.
