OVERVIEW: 

Everything we do at DICK’S Sporting Goods centers around our customers, or as we call them, our athletes. From online to in-store, we’re disrupting retail through technology. Our Software Engineering team are key disruptors. As a Software Engineer II, you are already extremely knowledge of your craft and you will get the opportunity here to continue to grow and work in the area you love.

We empower our engineers to tear down the silos and work collaboratively with their product team to deliver solutions. We work in nimble product teams composed of engineers, designers, and product managers that aren’t bogged down by project plans and politics, but are empowered to continuously create, test and execute. One of the best parts is after the work is done, you get to see the results of your work in our stores, online and throughout our business. You get to make a difference. 

Let’s talk Tech. 

Here is a list of our areas of expertise for Mobile-Android. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a master at them all, but we’ll expect you to have understanding and experience in them: 

• Demonstrate good knowledge in Kotlin as the applications you will be working on are written in Kotlin 

• Understand mobile architecture such as MVVM

• Be comfortable working with both Compose and XML for UI  

• Familiarity with Unit Testing and understanding of what to test as well as how to develop with testability in mind 

• Comfort in working with Git for source control and ability to provide feedback in code reviews as well as accept feedback  

As a Software Engineer II at DICK’S you will: 

• Work collaboratively with designers, product managers, and engineers 

• Leverage cutting-edge technologies and modern practices 

• Build and ship high-quality code at a rapid pace 

• Have opportunities for career development as we continue to invest in our talent 

• Be a part of a collaborative, innovative culture tackling the challenges of scaling our business and serving up new experiences for our athletes 

• Work with great people in an engaging, remote environment while still having access to the many amenities the Pittsburgh campus has to offer, including a world-class health club, hoteling space, collaboration rooms, and enabled technology for hybrid meetings 

So, we will expect you to: 

• Continuously learn modern software design and development core practices, utilizing articles, conferences, tech talks, etc.
