Software Engineer, Growth

ABOUT QUINCE Founded in 2018, Quince was built to challenge the idea that nice things have to cost a lot. Our mission is simple: to make really high quality essentials for really low prices, produced fairly and sustainably. We believe everyone deserves exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design without the traditional markups. Quince is a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model that cuts out middlemen and leverages just-in-time manufacturing to minimize waste and maximize value. Quince is a tech company disrupting the retail industry by putting AI, analytics and automation at the center of everything we do. Our unwavering commitment to excellence and company values guide our teams and actions: Customer First : We prioritize customer satisfaction in every decision. High Quality : True quality means premium materials and rigorous production standards you can feel good about. Essential Design : We focus on timeless, functional essentials instead of chasing trends. Always a Better Deal : Innovation and transparency ensure value for both customers and partners. Social & Environmental Responsibility : We commit to sustainable materials, ethical production, and fair wages. Quince partners with world-class manufacturers across the globe and serves millions of customers. With strong investor backing and a focus on sustainable growth, we are a company that is rapidly scaling while maintaining a commitment to quality, simplicity, and radical price transparency. OUR TEAM AND SUCCESS At Quince, you will be part of a high-performing team that is redefining what quality, value, and sustainability mean in modern retail. We are a destination for builders, innovators, and operators to come together and challenge the status quo. Our collective ambition is bold. We are creating an entirely new category and customer experience – one that democratizes luxury and provides high quality products at radically low prices. That mission demands a world-class team committed to excellence. If you are motivated by impact, growth, and purpose, you will find a strong sense of belonging at Quince. THE ROLE We are looking for software engineers to build Quince’s next generation of growth marketing technology based in our Palo Alto, CA headquarters. We operate in a hybrid environment with 3 days in office. This team works at the intersection of engineering, data science, AI and marketing. We are building systems that power user acquisition and retention, use AI and data science models to guide budget and spend decisions, and optimize marketing performance using signals from inventory, demand forecasting, logistics, storefront behavior, customer intent, product similarity, and market intelligence. As Quince expands internationally, this AI-native platform will help drive smarter growth decisions across countries, categories, styles, and channels. The work may include backend services, APIs, customer-facing web and mobile applications, internal tools, personalization, experimentation, attribution, and data-driven workflows. We are looking for builders: curious, pragmatic, resourceful engineers who can turn ambiguous problems into simple, scalable systems. You do not need to come from a growth, marketing technology or advertising background. We care more about strong engineering fundamentals, ownership, product judgment, AI-forward thinking, and the ability to learn quickly. Responsibilities Design and implement end-to-end software features which could include backend services, APIs, or customer-facing web and mobile applications. Build scalable, high-performance systems across both backend services and customer-facing applications, following best practices and coding standards with minimal supervision. Identify root causes of complex problems related to performance, scale, and stability, and propose solutions to mitigate them in the short, medium, and long term. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, design, and engineering to define requirements and
