We bring that vision to life through our values and culture. Learn more about Target here. As a lead engineer, you serve as the technical anchor for the engineering team that supports a product.

You identify and drive architectural changes to accelerate feature development or improve the quality of service (or both). You have deep and broad engineering skills and are capable of standing up an architecture in its whole on your own, but you choose to influence a wider team by acting as a "force multiplier".
