Here, we believe your unique perspective is important, and you'll build relationships by being authentic and respectful.
Overview About TII
At Target, we have a timeless purpose and a proven strategy. And that hasn't happened by accident. Some of the best minds from different backgrounds come together at Target to redefine retail in an inclusive learning environment that values people and delivers world-class outcomes. That winning formula is especially apparent in Bengaluru, where Target in India operates as a fully integrated part of Target's global team and has more than 5,000 team members supporting the company's global strategy and operations.
Pyramid Overview
A role with Target Data Science & Engineering means the chance to help develop and manage state of the art predictive algorithms that use data at scale to automate and optimize decisions at scale. Whether you join our Statistics, Optimization or Machine Learning teams, you'll be challenged to harness Target's impressive data breadth to build the algorithms that power solutions our partners in Marketing, Supply Chain Optimization, Network Security and Personalization rely on.
Team Overview
Target's Advanced AI team builds end-to-end AI/ML systems that create meaningful business value across the enterprise. These systems may be powered by LLMs, classical machine learning, or deep learning models, and are designed as scalable, reliable, production-grade applications, including agentic architectures where they add clear value.
Role Overview
As a Lead Full-Stack Engineer for Advanced AI, you will help design, build, deploy, and maintain the application layers, services, APIs, and user experiences that bring AI/ML capabilities into core business workflows. You will work closely with AI/ML Engineers, Data Scientists, product partners, platform teams, security teams, and business stakeholders to turn complex AI capabilities into practical, intuitive, and scalable applications.
In this role, you will provide hands-on technical leadership for full-stack engineering initiatives across Advanced AI applications. You will contribute to architecture and design decisions, build maintainable production-quality code, design and develop APIs and services, create user-facing application experiences, and help establish strong engineering practices across development, testing, deployment, observability, documentation, and ongoing support. You will help ensure applications are secure, reliable, accessible, performant, maintainable, and aligned to Target's enterprise standards for infrastructure, platform architecture, data handling, and operational readiness.
You will also partner with AI/ML Engineers, Lead and Principal Engineers, and engineering leaders to shape technical approaches, identify implementation risks, resolve roadblocks, and support the evolution of reusable application patterns for AI-powered products. This role requires strong product thinking, curiosity, and continuous learning, including staying current with modern full-stack engineering practices and developments in AI, LLM-powered applications, agentic systems, and enterprise AI patterns. A successful Lead Full-Stack Engineer will help deliver production-grade AI applications that create measurable business value while raising the technical quality and capability of the broader team.
