Now Brewing – Application Developers (senior)! #tobeapartner 

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others. 

As an Application Developer sr, you’ll deliver and support technology solutions that establish key business capabilities and platform features—enabling strategic initiatives and operational improvements. You’ll collaborate across IT and the business to shape solution design, build secure and scalable software, and improve platform health through strong engineering practices and operational excellence. 

As an Application Developer sr, you will… 

• Lead end-to-end delivery – drive requirements/backlog refinement, technical design and development, and deployment planning/execution (including transition to operations) across Agile and/or waterfall delivery. 

• Build high-quality, production-ready solutions – leverage established design patterns and coding standards; automate test coverage and support continuous build/integration practices to reduce defects and production issues. 

• Strengthen platform reliability – participate in on-call support, troubleshoot and remediate incidents, lead root-cause analysis, report operational KPIs, and improve patterns/standards/shared libraries to reduce technical debt. 

We’d love to hear from people with: 

• 4–10 years of professional industry experience with software development 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field 

 
Preferred qualifications 

• 2+ years leading teams of four or more software developers (or equivalent technical leadership scope) 

• Advanced experience with relevant platforms/applications, including established APIs and key system components (e.g., workflows, process flows, data models, batch jobs, UI components, configuration) 

• Strong experience with integration and data transport patterns (synchronous/asynchronous, bulk data, tightly/loosely coupled) 

• Experience building on or extending commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications to deliver differentiated business capabilities 

• Demonstrated ability to mentor other developers and influence cross-functional partners through complex, ambiguous decisions
