This is the system that will run forecasting, inventory placement, vendor management, and the weekly ordering cadence for a $10B+ business expanding across North America and Europe. As an early engineer on the Planning Tools team, you’ll be hands-on across data pipelines, model-serving infrastructure, integrations, and the operator-facing tools that put science in the hands of the planning team.</p> <p>This is the team that builds, not maintains. You’ll work alongside a group of senior engineers and data scientists shipping the first production cuts of every component driving the forecasting and planning roadmap. Your work will be used by the people running Quince’s supply chain every week, and the gap between what you ship and the impact it has will be unusually short.</p> <p>We expect you to ship code AI-natively. AI-augmented coding, test generation, and exploratory data work are how this team moves; fluency with these tools is part of the bar, not a bonus.<br><br>The ideal candidate is a strong mid-level engineer with 2-4 years of production experience, growing fast, and energized by ambiguity. They take a well-shaped task and turn it into shipped, well-tested code without needing the design fully decided up front. They ask sharp questions, push back when something doesn’t make sense, and leave the codebase a little better than they found it.</p> <p>They are comfortable working in a small team where the senior people around them expect them to leverage AI coding assistants fluently. They write clean prompts, review AI-generated code with the same rigor as their own, and know when to step out of the AI loop and write the hard part by hand.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="2663" data-local-id="e0c03b8d-8a8f-42ae-b3e9-26b5a2308ae6"><strong data-renderer-mark="true"><span class="fabric-text-color-mark" data-renderer-mark="true" data-text-custom-color="#0747a6">Responsibilities</span></strong></p> <p><strong>Build & Ship</strong></p> <ul> <li>Implement features end-to-end across data pipelines, model-serving plumbing, integrations with vendor and order management systems, and operator-facing tooling, moving from ticket to production with high craft and minimal hand-holding.</li> <li>Own the quality of what you ship: typed, tested, observable, and easy for the next engineer to read.</li> <li>Use AI coding tools as part of your default workflow for scaffolding, refactors, te
