The Home Depot is hiring approximately 1,000 new technology professionals in 2018 at its primary technology centers in Atlanta, Austin and Dallas to support initiatives related to its $11.1 billion three-year strategic investment plan.

In December 2017, the company announced investments related to its store and online shopping experience, supply chain and delivery capabilities, and associate and workforce management systems. Many of these initiatives require advanced software engineering, system engineering, UX design and product management.

"With the rapidly changing retail environment, this is easily one of the most exciting places to work in technology," said Matt Carey, EVP and chief information officer of The Home Depot. "Our team is building some of the most advanced software anywhere to help customers shop whenever, wherever and however they want."

Recently named one of Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies, The Home Depot's technology team uses the latest modern development stacks and agile practices across public and private cloud platforms. Additionally, the team leverages artificial intelligence, augmented reality, big data, machine learning, and voice and visual recognition capabilities to build award-winning experiences for customers and associates.
