What’s the best place we’ve ever built? The place where we work. At Home Depot, our goal is to provide the highest level of service, the broadest selection of products, and the most competitive prices. As the world’s largest home improvement specialty retailer, we operate more than 2,200 retail stores across North America. And each of our associates are focused one thing — helping our customers build and improve their homes, businesses, and ultimately their lives.
Pay Range
The pay range for this position is between $80,000.00 – $160,000.00.
Starting wage may vary based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the position being offered, location, education, training, and/or experience.

QuoteCenter Staff Software Engineers are experts in their domain. They act as a technical resource for Product partners, peer Staff Software Engineers across other teams, and Principal Engineers in turning requirements into reality in a sustainable way, while maintaining a constant Platform mindset.
In addition to technical skills, they are strong advocates for their team, and regularly delegate and coordinate work and opportunities to more junior team members to support their growth. They work with their Direct Manager to create a culture of psychological safety within their team, and act as force multipliers within the Engineering department to drive excellence in execution.
