Ulta Beauty

Bolingbrook, IL 60440

Bachelor's or master's in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related field. Equivalent practical experience will be considered.
2+ years of professional software engineering experience in any domain.
Demonstrable exposure to the AI space — professional, academic, or through personal projects. We are not looking for a specific number of years; we are looking for genuine engagement with the field.
Solid programming fundamentals in Python, with an understanding of basic software engineering practices: version control, code structure, and testing.
Some exposure to cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, or AWS) — enough to navigate an environment and understand how services connect.
Ability to work cross-functionally to understand business goals and communicate solutions that meet business objectives.
Self-driven with a bias toward action: you move forward with what you have, flag what you're uncertain about, and course correct as you learn more.
Intellectual honesty — you say what you think, you acknowledge what you don't know, and you don't pretend otherwise.
A genuine interest in building things that work in production, not just things that work in a notebook.
Travel may be required (team collaboration / conferences / vendor meetings).
