Software Engineer III (WMS & Supply Chain)

As we continue to scale our global platform, the Software Engineer III will play a critical role in designing and delivering scalable warehouse management and fulfillment systems across Fanatics' global fulfillment and wholesale network.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Software Engineer III is a senior individual contributor embedded across multiple concurrent fulfillment and supply chain workstreams, partnering closely with engineering, product, and operations teams to solve complex warehouse execution challenges. This role owns end-to-end technical delivery — from system design and configuration through to production-grade reliability — across Fanatics' warehouse management platforms, including hands-on expertise with Tier 1 WMS solutions such as Manhattan Active. The Software Engineer III delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.

HOW WILL YOU DRIVE IMPACT

Success is measured by the ability to deliver results through BOLD capabilities and measurable outcomes.

Team & Leadership Impact (Build Championship Teams)

• Partner cross-functionally with operations, product, and engineering teams to translate complex supply chain business needs into well-architected technical solutions.
• Actively raise the technical bar across the team by championing software design best practices, contributing to architecture decisions, and mentoring peers through code review and shared standards.
• Serve as a reliable delivery partner across concurrent workstreams, aligning with stakeholders to maintain clarity on priorities, progress, and risk.

Fan & Customer Impact (Obsessed with Fans)

• Ensure fulfillment systems operate with the speed, accuracy, and reliability that directly enables on-time delivery and a seamless experience for Fanatics customers and fans.
• Design and configure high-performance, real-time warehouse execution solutions — covering fulfillment flows, inventory management, and material handling automation — that minimize disruption and maximize throughput.
• Lead root cause investigations on complex inventory flow issues, implementing permanent fixes that protect order accuracy and fulfillment quality at scale.
• Continuously optimize warehouse processes in partnership with operations teams, reducing friction and improving outcomes for end customers.

Innovation & Problem Solving (Limitless Entrepreneurial Spirit)

• Build and evolve orchestration solutions for fulfillment workflows using event-driven architectures, microservices, and APIs that enable seamless, scalable warehouse execution.
• Explore and evaluate emerging technologies — including workflow orchestration platforms such as Temporal — to modernize fulfillment system capabilities.
• Drive integration of warehouse automation systems (WES, WCS, WMS) to unlock new levels of operational efficiency and warehouse intelligence.
• Apply rigorous engineering judgment to identify systemic issues, design durable solutions, and continuously improve system resilience and performance.

Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)

• Take end-to-end ownership of software design, configuration, and delivery across multiple warehouse management and fulfillment workstreams, ensuring quality and reliability at every stage.
• Operate with a bias toward action in Agile/Scrum environments, maintaining delivery momentum across complex, multi-team projects.
• Proactively identify technical debt, architectural gaps, and process inefficiencies — and drive resolution without waiting to be asked.
• Hold a high bar for production-grade quality, applying disciplined testing, monitoring, and incident response practices across all owned systems.

AI & DIGITAL CAPABILITY

We are building a future-ready organization. This role is expected to:

• Apply AI and technology to improve efficiency, quality, and outcomes
• Use data and digital tools to inform decisions and enhance performance
• Demonstrate curiosity and adaptability in adopting new technologies and ways of working
• Contribute to a culture of innovation and continuous improvement

CAPABILITIES & EXPERIENCE YOU BRING

Required Qualifications:

• 3–6 years of software development experience in supply chain, fulfillment, or warehouse execution systems, with demonstrated ability to own and deliver complex technical workstreams end to end.
• 3–6 years of hands-on experience with a Tier 1 WMS platform, such as Manhattan Active, including system configuration and integration work in production environments.
• Proficiency in one or more advanced programming languages — Java, C#, GoLang, C++, or similar — with demonstrable experience building scalable RESTful services and APIs.
• Strong understanding of relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server, or similar), including data modelling and efficient query design.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Solid understanding of event-driven architectures, microservices design, and API development patterns as applied to warehouse or fulfillment systems.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum delivery environments, with the ability to manage concurrent priorities across multiple projects and stakeholder groups.

Good to Have:

• Experience with Manhattan Open Systems.
• Familiarity with Temporal or similar workflow and orchestration platforms.
• Experience with warehouse automation systems, including WES, WCS, or WMS integrations.
