As Wayfair continues to scale to become a $100 billion business, we must reassess some of the technologies that support core marketing functions in order to ensure that they can efficiently sustain and accelerate Wayfair’s growth. The next generation of marketing customer communications must be radically different in order to achieve this goal: we imagine a world where all relevant elements of a message can be personalized, incremental testing is highly automated, platform features are channel agnostic, notification management is safe and intuitive, and the volume of communications can be easily scaled without concern.

Currently,the Batch Communication platform is undergoing a transformation to feature: 

• A drastically simplified and workflow-oriented user experience that surpasses available market alternatives
• An optimized QA process to catch errors immediately and indicate possible signs of user error
• A performant personalization engine that automates away most notification business rules
• Omni-channel capabilities that enable simplified configuration and consistent messaging as well as fast time to market for all platform additions 
• Personalization of the emails can now be done in real time with streaming capabilities. More of the tech transformation is needed to simplify the Batch Communication platform is to make other features more real time.  

What You’ll Do:

• Leverage languages and Frameworks such as Java and GraphQL to support current infrastructure
• Audit the current Batch Communication GraphQL Graph and continue to design and build scaling durable solutions that can be reused by the Front End team
• Work with large and diverse data sets
• Help build and advocate the technical roadmap centered around the Batch Notifications ReThink Project
• Mentor junior engineers through training, coaching, code reviews and 1:1 mentorship
