Leader in Home to Open New Offices in San
Francisco Bay Area, Austin, Texas and Toronto, Canada
Wayfair Inc. (NYSE:W), one of the world’s largest online
destinations for the home, today announced it will open three new
Engineering sites in the San Francisco Bay Area of California,
Austin, Texas and the city of Toronto in Ontario, Canada. The
company plans to hire approximately 1,000 technologists to its
world-class Engineering organization globally over the next year.
Wayfair is expanding its Engineering footprint to locations outside
of its technology hubs in Boston and Berlin for the first time to
further advance the innovative technologies that make Wayfair the
best place to shop for home.
“As Wayfair further solidifies its position as the leader in
home, we are excited to open a new chapter as an Engineering
organization with three new office locations that will help
accelerate our ambitious tech agenda,” said Jim Miller, Chief
Technology Officer, Wayfair. “We’re thrilled to expand our global
talent footprint to Austin, Toronto and the San Francisco Bay Area
as we continue to evolve our team to support the incredible growth
of the business.”
Wayfair will initially hire for up to 200 positions at each new
Wayfair Engineering site over the next year. Positions include
software engineers, infrastructure engineers, product managers,
experience designers, analysts, and data scientists. The roles will
help drive a wide range of solutions, from cutting-edge machine
learning and data science techniques that help customers find just
the right product among more than 22 million items, to
next-generation merchandising that fuels beautiful, inspiring
product imagery, to platforms that enable suppliers to reach
consumers more effectively and grow their businesses.
The company also plans to continue hiring engineering and data
science talent across its global headquarters in Boston and its
European headquarters in Berlin. Wayfair currently employs more
than 3,000 engineers and data scientists.
“We’re looking forward to opening three new Engineering sites
within the next year,” continued Miller. “These new locations will
be an extension of our headquarters in Boston and Berlin and will
allow us to continue to build and foster a global community of
sophisticated technologists who are powering the best possible
shopping experience for home.”
